Loved my Fujifilm X-M5 but NEED a viewfinder for shooting outdoors. Any recommendations?
Budget: Ideally under $500 USD for camera/lens (Doesn't have to be mirrorless/DSLR). Will consider suggestions up to $999, but they'd have to go above and beyond my wish list.
Country: USA
Condition: Used is fine. Older models are fine.
Type of Camera: Point and shoot unless there's a mirrorless/DSLR that is suitable
Intended use: Photography
End use: Social media, small prints
If photography: what style: portrait, street
If video what style: n/a
What features do you absolutely need: viewfinder, portability (lightweight, slim profile)
What features would be nice to have: film simulation vibes, bluetooth
Portability: needs to fit in a belt bag/fanny pack
Cameras you're considering: SONY Cyber-shot DSC-HX90 Compact Digital Camera - seems to have most of the features I'm looking for but image quality looks about the same as my phone from what I can tell. Would rather it be a little better. Open to any suggestions. Editing to add a couple other contenders: Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS60, Canon PowerShot G1X, and Canon PowerShot G15
Cameras you already have: Fujifilm X-M5 (sold it), loved the image quality and film simulations, hated the lack of viewfinder (outdoor pics were impossible to see the digital screen and make sure my subjects were in focus), was too heavy and bulky to carry in my belt bag. Made my shoulder ache when carrying it around on vacations. Tried Fuji X-half and didn't like anything about it other than the weight/profile.
Notes: (any other considerations you think we should know about): my kiddo has ASD and hates when I use a phone, so that's one reason I'm looking for a portable camera. So I can actually get some pics of him playing happily and smiling
