3k is bit low for 2 dslr. Unless u dont mind 2nd hand which still cost slightly more than 3k for not too old model.

Definitely either nikon or canon apsc dslr fit the bill.

It's for his college not personal lah. A6000 is good but you bring this to any event, most people without camera knowledge would think some tourist with compact cam. And don't mention about adding battery pack to make it look pro cause that cost money too.

If TS (or his college) don't mind small mirrorless cam, then 2 x a5100 would have been more than enough with image quality on par with a6000. Got touchscreen some more so newbie is right at home.

Not really. If college is ok with small compact mirrorless, it's fine.

But what is the likelihood of them understanding when they gave the task to buy 2 dslr to someone not familiar with camera stuff with mere budget of RM3k? Besides, if college's dslr got problem, nikon and canon at least have decent customer service.
