Some have suggested the M50, which I've never used. It's a logical choice, as it's smaller and Ii presume lighter. But, you'll need more batteries. As I understand, the battery life is not very long. So, depending on how much shooting you are planning on doing, you want to take another battery or two, especially if you are also doing video.

Perhaps climbing_girl has already made her purchase, but if not, a bridge camera might fit the bill quite nicely. I'm considering a Sony DCS-RX10 IV. It has a 20.1 Mpix sensor, a 24-600 (35mm equiv lens), and am amazing AF with 315 phase detection points. It can shoot 24fps with AF/AE Tracking.  It is also weather sealed.  But yes, it has an electronic view finder.
