Hi! I'm looking for a mirrorless aps-c camera with good image quality, autofocus and low light capabilities in the $1500 price range with lens.

You'll need to be a bit more specific here.   Is this intended for UW use?   Someday in the future?  Make sure you like the options for housings for the model.

$1500 for the body and a lens (which?). or the housing and ports as well?

The mirrorless specific lenses tend to be pricier, whereas if you can make use of the former generation (like EF lenses on a Canon R), then there is a lot of well priced used inventory.

low light isn't as important underwater- you have focusing lights and strobes.  But for the APC size, I think Nikon or Sony .   Look to the used stuff if you are thinking about UW - may be able to do most of it for less than 2 if you're willing to go back in time a bit.
