Something like a Nikon df?

• ⁠Budget:400-600 used • ⁠Country:USA/ Caribbean islands • ⁠Condition: used but fully functional • ⁠Type of Camera: dslr/mirrorless • ⁠Intended use: photo- kids, birds, landscape • ⁠What features do you absolutely need: quick manual controls- • ⁠Portability: 7 out of 10 • ⁠Cameras you're considering: Nikon df • ⁠Cameras you already have: none - just iPhone XR : learned on a D50 20 years ago- I loved that camera and the controls became intuitive • ⁠Notes: I am really loving the idea of the Nikon df- but perhaps I should just look for an updated equivalent Nikon that would be similar to a d50?
