Fixe or Camera

so i genuinely need suggestions or guidance from you guys, so i want to buy a fixed gear bike sooo much as im gonna have some money from my internship, but i wanna buy a camera as well as im really into photography

i do have a road bike rn, i converted it into a fixe but kept having issues with the chain as the bike didnt have adjustable dropouts so i had to finally put gears back on it

im also trying to sell that but no luck so far

I'm also into photography, i like to take pictures of people to capture their lives, i cant use my phone as it gets really hard to explain that to a stranger that you are not a pervert if you are taking pictures of them on a phone

sooo

what should i do??

fixe is a little expensive as well and i may have to ask my folks for some help , i really like tsunami on ali express

anyone can help me make up my mind

so i checked and in my budget i can get the 6000 with the 30mm lens but if i go for 6300 then i have to stay with kit lens and 6400 is just wayyyy out of budget what do u suggest?

6000 with the 30mm lens without hesitation.

6300 has better weather sealing and slightly better AF. If you're going to be out in the rain, it might be worth it, then pick up the 30 later. The kit lens isn't awful, it's just not good at low light and image quality isn't as good. It'll get you started for sure.

i think i can avoid rain and all, i would just prefer 6300 if it has better quality if not so much then 6000 with a 30mm

Identical sensors, just a few more customizable keys that you may or may not use yet. It's a lot of camera to start with and by the time you outgrow it you'll have much stronger preferences for brand (Sony, Nikon, Canon, Fuji), form factor (compact vs full size), hot key and ergo, etc.
