“I use the A7, A6500 and if I want small and compact the ZV1F tho the ZV1 has a Zoom so might be better choice for compact. The Sony ZV1F has a fixed 20mm F2 Zeiss lens and 1” Exmor sensor and fits in my shirt pocket. New they $600 but you can probably find for 50-60% of that gently used. Takes good 4K footage too upto 30FPS”
