You have been advised to buy every mirrorless camera made, which only means they are ALL good cameras and someone's pride and joy! So you probably can't go wrong no matter which you choose. I shoot Fuji, coming from a long line of Nikons. I like Fuji's ergonomics, because it almost does away with menudiving, but that is a personal preference. Get yourself to a store where you can handle all your candidates and see which fits you best. They are all good.

I generally travel in cities with a Panasonic 4/3 over the last 8 yrs. I have broken down and taken my FF Nikons at times but find the weight diminishes the travel enjoyment walking cities. I would buy a Panasonic G9 with the New Panasonic/Leica 10-25 1.7 and the 35-100 2.8.

Z6-z7 with the adapter you can use Nikon lenses. I know it’s not the price range.....

I suggest YOU avoid the Panasonic Lumix G85. Several reasons, including awful manual, no availability of 3rd party books, poor software, and terrible customer service and tech support.

I have a Sony a7riiii. Though mft are smaller and lighter, I am very impressed with the quality of the a7riii. I am older and have back issues, but I can carry it all day without issues. In traveling to Europe, I use it with the 12-24 F4 lens (a bit heavy, but great for cathedrals, other large buildings, and certain street scenes. I also use the very light and sharp Tamron 28-70 2.8. Just the a7riii and the Tamron could probably be fine for most people. The only thing I don't like about the Sony is that I have a hard time keeping dust off the sensor even though I am very careful changing lenses.

Knowing, I would be changing lenses a lot, I recently went to Bali and used a Canon R with the Rf 24-105 f4 and EF 16-35 f4 lenses. It was pretty light and again I walked around with it all day. The photos were striking--very, very good. It doesn't seem to collect dust the way my Sonys have. I would make the R my main camera even for Europe, but Canon's closest equivalent is the EF 11-24 F4, which is very bulbous in front, which makes it not such a great travel lens and is also heavy.

I think you said you have been with Nikon. I am sure the Nikon z6 and z7 are also excellent.

I have found a bit of a learning curve on all of them, even the R though I have been using Canon's for years. But whatever you get should be good. Both of these are full-frame cameras. Other choices would be smaller, but I like both of the systems I am using a lot.

I have the Fuji X-T 20 and love the results I get. I may look into the X-T3 that is a little bigger and water resistance. I got the Fuji because three of my favorite professional photographers use them. In fact, two of them sold all their Nikon equipment.

CatMarley. Does your Fuji have the most often used settings on top? Do you have the X T 2 or 3? I don’t like surfing menus either.

The lens is definitely not one of Sony's best lenses, but it is not terrible and is incredibly light. I used it with an a7iii for awhile as a hiking combo. A fairly inexpensive step up would be the Tamron 2.8 equivalent.

Relative to what you now have, the X-T3 is not a small, nor light camera. Have you checked measurements and weight against your current kits.

The Fuji X-T30 seems to be more of a weight size savings. Furthermore, the X-E3 is the smallest, lightest of the lot with the similar sensor. I have the E series (faux rangefinder) including the X-E3.

I do not consider the XT 1 through 3 smaller nor lighter than most small DSLRs from other MFRa.

Another vote for the X T20 to save some money from the X T3. The lenses used for the X-Mount are excellent, but expensive, too. For traveling with one lens.....18mm-135mm. But, there are many choices of small prime lenses, too, that will be hard to leave behind. Fuji users should know about the manual written by Dan Bailey on the X series. Google "best lenses for Fuji" will find good lens recommendations.

Fuji outsells Sony as well as Canon and Nikon in Japan I read.
So it can't be too bad.

For your requirement as described look at the Panasonic FZ1000,2000 or whatever as a long zoom range, excellent video, light weight travel camera. It can co-exist nicely with your current system and won't break the bank. If you're interested in a new "system", it's hard to beat the lenses available for the Fuji XT-3. Great out of camera color, smaller (but not tiny) size and weight and not an obsolete format like the m4/3.

I would wait a couple of years before buying a mirror less camera. Here's why. First, like any new product on the market, be it electronic gadgets, cars, or appliances, no matter how much R&D goes into it before marketing there are going to be bug. Wait until the bugs get worked out and then you'll be likely to have a better product. Secondly, The very high prices that these new cameras cost, you're paying for R&D and promotion. When those costs are taken care of the prices will drop. Case in point flat screen televisions. That cost about half as much today as they did when they first hit the market.

As usual, Burkphoto 's response is insightful and well reasoned. Somehow many have all assumed that removing the mirror from a DSLR will significantly reduce weight. Sure, just like removing my wallet from my pocket will reduce my weight. The primary source of weight in a camera is the lens. According to the laws of physics, a lens needs to be larger to cover a bigger negative, and more glass is a lot heavier. Ergo, m4/3 is the magic bullet. And no other system has a better variety of lenses than m4/3.

How Fuji manages to get the new 100MP camera so light is simply soem sort oof evil alien science.
