Suggest a non Samsung camera to replace my NX300/NX500

Hi people

I need a replacement option, as close as possible to an NX500 or even NX300.  What would you recommend? I do not need ALL the features of the NX line up cameras, but here are 'some' specs that I'm after for my next camera:

1. APS-C sensor or FF (maybe MFT as my *least* favourite back up option)

2. Mirrorless or very portable (less than 450g weight)

3. Fast touch auto focus

4. 1/6000 shutter speed and 8.6FPS continous RAW shooting. Yes I had a bit of buffer issues but for some reason my particular camera wasn't really bad at clearing the buffer and I loved it.

So far the only camera that fits all of the above is Sony A6500 which is not even released! Could you guys please suggest a brand/model which fits the above 4 criteria?

My style of photography - I rely on touch auto focus a lot, I do not care a lot for EVF but doesn't hurt to have it, absolutely love the 45mm f1.8 lens and I am a bokeh whore and love playing around with DOF control.

Budget: Approx $1600USD for a body and prime lens. Some of the options -

Sony A6500 + 30mm F1.8

Canon EOS M5 + 50mm F1.8

Panasonic GX8 + Panasonic summilux 25mm F1.4
