OP Update:

Picked up a Ricoh GR III HDF and ran a few hundred shots through it. Honestly? Totally unimpressed. Sharpness, handling, and overall feel don’t come close to my X-T5 + XF 35mm f/2 - which is way snappier and just more fun to shoot with.

At this point, I’m planning to sell both the Fuji and the Ricoh and fully move to FF:

So now I’m leaning harder into FF:
- Sony A7R III / A7R IV
- Nikon Zf or Z7 II (zero Nikon experience, so open to recs)

From what I gather, /gear/ sees Canon in this range (~$2k–$3k used) as pretty much a no-go?

Looking for something compact-ish, with high res, good color, good IBIS.
What’s /gear/’s actual pick here? Anything else I should be looking at in that range?
