What have you got in mind then Joel?

Pocketable or for small bag?
EVF? Flip up screen?

Sensor size?
New, used?

One I own & love ... Canon G7X, 1 inch sensor, no EVF, flip up screen, 24-100mm equiv.

One I'm interested in ... Panasonic LX100 2, M43, EVF but no flip up screen (unfortunately), 24-75mm equiv.

The smaller Panasonics with 1 inch sensor are good as @woof woof says.

Earlier versions of the Ricoh GR and Fujifilm X100 series might be within budget.
