"The Sony ZV-E10 is the smallest good mirrorless camera for video, capable of great regular videos."
"I finally decided on the Sony RX100 III (I got it new and with a 30% discount in Spain)."
"I would suggest keeping the ZV-1 and buying a fanny pack to take it with you on hikes."
"Great camera options based on your budget."
"The obvious choice here is the Sony RX1R II."
"Big fan of the RX100, any of the 5 versions will suffice at front row distance."
"The Sony RX100 series has long been king in pocket cameras."
"The RX100 VI is similar to the VII but has a larger buffer and less advanced focusing."
"The Sony is pocketable but the x100 fits into a jacket tho."
"Perhaps a used Sony rx100 m1?"

"I still use it all the time as my travel / backup / beater camera. Love it."
"Go for the XF10."
"The X-Pro3 is my favorite to shoot with."
"It's fantastic! Perfectly pocketable with the 27mm lens."
"The X100 is a great camera, but the X-Pro3 is nicer to shoot with."
"The X-E3 is smaller but has too much overlap with the X-Pro3."

Ricoh

"I just got the Ricoh GRIIIx and am in love with it. Fits in my jeans, the lens is outrageously good, and the one handed operation makes for unique framing options."
"Obviously no flip down screen but it’s the best option."
"It's a very capable little camera."
"The Ricoh is a great little camera with intuitive controls and a very sharp lens."
"Maybe a Ricoh GR ii for $400-$500 used."
"The Ricoh has an APS-C sensor which will be larger than the G9X's 1 inch."

"The G9 X is pocket-friendly and performs well in low light."
"There’s still at least one Elph model available new for $330USD with decent reviews at B&H."
"The Canon G1X III offers a zoom lens, which is a nice feature."
"I would think you might find a used Canon G15 for $200?"

"The Fuji X100 gets you an extra stop of light with its f/2 lens."
"The phone is likely to give you a better result most of the time."

"Check out the new DJI Pocket 3."

Panasonic
5.0

"The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS100 is the best choice for concerts due to its maximum telephoto reach of 250mm equivalent."
#8

"I recommend the GoPro 12 with a Bluetooth microphone or the media mod cage if you want to use a wired microphone."

Kodak

"There are some $100 Kodak branded cameras available new too, one of which is apparently wildly popular in Japan."
