In that price range, smaller
non slr cameras will produce
photos of the "same" quality,
and are less conspicuous, which
is great shooting people as they dont feel
as self conscious as they do when
confronted with a professional
looking camera.
There are superlative small cameras out there.
The largest sensor (that fits
your price range) in a small body
would be primary concerns if I was in your
shoes.
Also, if image quality is important to
you, avoid cameras with a lot of zoom range... 24mm-1000mm for example.
24mm-70mm zoom range is very modest
but versatile enough, and one of
those produced by Zeiss is a gem.
The Sony RX100 III just happens to be
an inconspicuous little unit
equipped with a 24-70 Zeiss... well
worth a look. :thumbup:

imho. So the Fujifilm X30 is also worth a look
