Sony FX30
In the camera field this took for filmmakers. It is not the crowned answer (Sony a7 IV is), but here is exactly where it earns its place, and where it gives ground.

PlacedBeaten by Sony a7 IV
Why it might win
A true cine camera: fan-cooled, no 30-minute record limit, pro codecs
Why it might not
No viewfinder or mechanical shutter; video-first by design
Built to keep recording
Fan cooling and no 30-minute record limit mean the FX30 keeps rolling where stills-first bodies like the a7 IV can struggle on long shoots. At ₹1,84,990, only ₹2,000 under the a7 IV, that focus is the entire reason to pick it.
No viewfinder by design
Sony left out the viewfinder and mechanical shutter because this is built for a monitor and a rig, not for shooting handheld like a stills camera. Choose the a7 IV instead if you also want a body that works through an eyepiece.
