I'd be too worried about them getting stuck with a soot smell. Kogasa's umbrella's handle broke in shipping and after I glued it with plastic cement I kept them together in a bag. She had an acetone smell for weeks, lol.

I have an a6000, but camera bodies really don't matter that much for photography. Anything from the last 10-20 years will be good enough. The real question is lenses, I use a couple vintage Nikkor lenses (nearly always my 35mm f/2 portrait lens, but I have a few more) that are dirt cheap because they aren't able to be electronically controlled by the camera like more modern lenses.
The good thing about the a6000 is it was often sold in a starter set with a lens or two and a bag and such. Lots of people give up photography and then sell their sets for like, half price. Maybe pick up one of those.
Basically, just get any camera and then get some lenses for it and you'll be fine. It doesn't matter that much. People trying to get you to buy some expensive new body or expensive new lens or repping specific brands can be ignored. You could also try those stupid lenses for phones, no clue if they're any good but they might be a fun first step.
Also, I only got into photography around 2 years ago and most of my pictures are still terrible, so don't take me as gospel.
