Take a look at some of these:
Sony A6000
Lumix GX80 and G80
Olympus EM10 Mark II or III
Nikon D700 (used)
Canon 5D Mark II (used)
(The D700 and 5D II are Nikon and Canon pro cameras from a decade ago, so can be picked up quite cheaply now yet still produce stunning images.)
Thank you for your recommendation. My comments:
Sony A6000

Is this the one? Price is let's say ok, even though I said up to 600$. Also it says that it is from France, meaning I will not pay taxes!
Lumix GX80 and G80
G80 definitely too expensive. 800$ for an used one! No GX80 with free shipping but this one combined with shipping is 437$:

Olympus EM10 Mark II or III

Bit above my price range. I dig the retro look!
Nikon D700 (used)
Body affordable but there are no kit lens.
Canon 5D Mark II (used)
Same thing as D700.
Yes, that's the A6000. It's probably the best buy of those I recommended.
With the D700 or 5D2 my advice would be to get a cheap 35mm or 50mm lens and learn that focal length inside out. The problem with a zoom kit lens is you (obviously) get a bunch of focal lengths to distract you and it can be easier to learn composition by forcing yourself to be the zoom. Then you buy a wider or telephoto/portrait lens when you know why you need it.
