The Nikon D800 series and Canon 5D series produce amazing results. They were both big milestones and there really hasn’t been much improvement on image quality since then, until you get into Leica or medium format. (And even some medium format cameras can’t compete with a D800)
Buy used and look up the shutter count of the body. Compare that to the average life of a shutter of that model and you can tell how much life it has left in it. Don’t assume. For example, I once used a D800 to do time lapse and shot well over 100,000 photos. My current D800 I’ve probably only shot 5,000 photos on it.
Definitely buy used lenses and do your research. Old lens designs will sometimes offer things that new lenses don’t.
