The weight isn’t all that bad. I’ve been running around with it all day on vacations and wasn’t bothered by it. The size imho is more important. I paid ~1400€ used. All the cameras with interchangeable lens systems are in similar price ranges unfortunately. The more compact ones are even more expensive. There is a very compact sony one with integrated zoom lens i forgot the name of that goes for more than 2k€ The ricoh gr iv is similarly priced and has a fixed zoom lens and no EVF and in sunny daylight no evf is a no go imho. The displays on cameras are usually much darker than smartphone displays so you really need an evf. If you want to safe a bit of money you can go for the a6400. it has a couple of compromises but isn’t all that much worse purely for photography.
