There's only one line of iMacs left – the 24" M1 iMac line.
If you are looking for a desktop Mac, but it doesn't have to be an iMac specifically, you could consider other Macs such as the Mac Mini and Mac Studio With those, you provide a separate keyboard, mouse, and display.
Whatever Mac you get, I would suggest getting at least 16 GB of RAM, even if you have to custom-order the Mac from the online Apple Store. You cannot add RAM to Apple Silicon Macs after purchase. Adobe recommends 16 GB or more of RAM for PS / LR / LRC, and you probably would want at least that to do heavy video editing.

To add to Servant of Cats's excellent response:
including no network port unless you order the optional power supply that has a network port. The 8-core model includes the ported power supply. If you need to use an external monitor or several external storage devices, the 2-port model would be crippling.
the iMac 24;s are basically consumer models. Today there is no replacement for the uprated 27-inch iMac so many of us enjoy. If you can wait until Apple's fall announcements, you may see if the currently limited options improve.
One of these depending on budget…
