Hi Dave W Welcome to Mavic Pilots
Sort of depends on what you call affordable
I would go for a Mavic Pro 2 if your funds allow.
I don’t have a Mini but they seem popular & are less expensive.
It would be a good idea to determin what you want to use it for before splashing the cash

Mavic pro 1, can get used for very good price and will do what you want. I've had one for a few years and 4500 miles still going strong.

☝? What is your budget?

I think I would start out with the Mavic Mini.
The fly more kit especially.

Welcome to the forum, @Dave W This video may help, because he gets into the pricing, the camera details, and the flying details. The forum’s Classified section has some great candidates for sale now.

All DJI drones mentioned are easy to fly, if you read the full manual, read this forum’s many sections, and if you fly low, slow & right-there-in-front-of-you for a few batteries.

It might be hard to find one now, not available here in Oz now . . . but the MPP (Mavic Pro Platinum) is still available worldwide.
And it is a great aircraft, particularly how they are priced now, a flymore kit gives best value with the 3 batteries.

The the OP @Dave W . . . as far as I know, no drone records to SD card, but all the DJI consumer drones record to micro SD card, you just use the SD adapter . . . and all have very little lag / latency.
There are a few wifi models, which have a bit less range / urban reliability than those with Ocusyc 1.0 or 2.0.
Do a bit of research there to find the difference, search wifi and ocusync here on the forum, there's been recent threads.
