Suggestion, take a vacation to NYC and visit B&H, just took my oldest grandson to buy his first camera, he got to hold and shoot all he had considered, ended up with a Canon T8i, did not like any of the mirrorless that he looked at, point is he got to hold and look through several cameras. Lots of patient staff there, and lots of cameras.
Hunt's Photo in Portland, ME is much closer and would have most of these camera models as well. However, holding a camera in a store and doing a few test photos is not the same IMO as going out and trying to shoot birds in flight, etc.
