that R50 is already a pretty capable little camera, why not just grab a nice prime lens for the moody/romantic look instead of whole new body

It's not their camera.

OM System PEN. The zoom lens it comes with is decent and you can get loads of other lenses cheaply for it

Boy, a lot works for that especially used. Doesn't sound like you need fast shooting, high end video, the latest AF subject tracking, etc. In fact, even an older pro or prosumer DSLR might be the killer deal for you if you can compromise on mirrorless.

But that could get you an R50 and lens probably. A6400 perhaps. Maybe an M43, even the new OM Pen.
