Priorities in order:

  1. 80-90% SOOC (can’t give much time to editing). I am ready to give time to learning and practicing manual controls though.
  2. ergonomic, light.
  3. travel photos, capturing scenes like I see them with my eyes.
  4. low light photos.
  5. long-lasting gear. Okay with getting prime and telephoto lens later if needed.
  6. videography is not a priority as of now, may explore later.

Thanks!

Update: Decided to go with Fujifilm X-S10 + XF 18-55mm F2.8-4.0 as I liked the fuji SOOC jpegs more. Sigma lens would have been sweet but I’m okay with the tradeoff.
Thank you everyone for being so helpful.

Update 2: Finally went with Fujifilm X-T30 II + XF 18-55mm F2.8-4.0 instead for looks, this was a close one as I had to give up Ibis and that grip.

    The constant f 2.8 aperture will make a big difference to the quality of photos and low light performance. Generally, zooms with huge ranges and variable apertures have lower sharpness and overall image quality.
