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
