Refurb to get the price under $1k.

Z50ii uses a very good sensor (good images), very good autofocus with subject id (focuses on eyes of people, birds, critters, etc.) and the latest Nikon processing chip. The kit lenses that come with it while not fast (low # aperture) produce better images than they should for the $$ and the entire package is light & compact.

if you watch the Hudson Henry video I linked you can get an idea just how flexible it is.

As to changing lenses I would say it's less problematic than you might think. you use the 16-50mm lens for people/travel stuff and can swap to the 50-250mm zoom for things like wildlife, sports, motorsports, etc. if you want to wow folks with really good portraits you can get a $180 Viltrox 35mm 1.7 lens for it and step into a new world of photography.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.
