I have had dozens of cameras but the Sony RX100V is my favorite camera I have ever owned:

- tiny, fits in any pocket
- has an excellent pop-up viewfinder
- starts shooting faster than opening an app
- goes down to f1.8, ideal for low depth of field, fast moving subjects, low light
- the back screen flips up so I can shoot 90 degrees to the subject, ideal for street photography
- I can transfer photos wirelessly to my iPhone for editing

this camera is 9 years old but I cannot find anything better on the market today

This prompted me to revisit the Ricoh GRiii/X rabbit hole. Curious for strong opinions and which to get if so (28mm vs 40mm)?

I want to shoot more non-iPhone and would like to shoot people a good chunk of time but ultimate priority is flexibility, portability (having on me), ease

These GRIII's are the best portable cameras. They fit easily in your jackets pocket or some side pocket. Perfect for street photography since you are sure you always have a camera with you. Be aware that the battery runs out quickly, so maybe buy another battery pack.

As the other comments mention 40mm for the portraits is probably the better option.
