Fuji X30 (fixed lens): EVF not the biggest but perfectly OK. Never needed to focus manually though.

My experience with manual focus on Fuji has been pretty good, except in very low light (think inside cinema) where noise would be an issue; however, with an SLR, manual focus through OVF would have been even more challenging, as the OVF lacks the option to magnify. In those circumstances, my tool of choise is the rangefinder.

FF:

I haven't tried the Sony A7-3 - Sonyphiles say the EVF is fine: the DPR review said it was a bit on the small side. I would like to try it. That camera seems to be the most compact FF option.

There are quite some more relatively compact options, with the Sigma FP / FPL being the smallest.

In the "mainstream"-cameras, e.g. the Nikon Z5 is very similar in size to the A7-3, and Leica's M-range is smaller, as is the Canon RP. And of course Sony's own A7C.

Obviously, every camera has its own compromises, so it often comes down to personal preference.
