I really don't want to argue this any further, as I think we are not helping the OP'er with it. I just suggested re-considering investment in an low-quality camera for a one-trip purpose.

P.S. If anything, I would consider renting a high-end mirrorless camera at Vistek instead of buying a low-end one.
Renting a decent camera is a good idea, especially if OP won't be using it much after the trip. I wouldn't travel with a rental without some kind of insurance though.
