I'm looking for an everyday, always-in-your-bag shooter, with the following criteria:

- continuous raw shooting with electronic shutter w/ at least 16fps and at least 40 (raw) pictures buffer capacity
- IBIS, or lens stabilization (preferably in a 35mm FF-equivalent lens)
- sensor size at least MFT or APS-C
- sensor must be Bayer sensor, with Bayer raw (for use as DNG in Davinci Resolve, so Fuji X-Trans is not an option)
- compact, lightweight, can also be a fixed-lens camera, preferably a prime, at least f2.8, focal length between 35 and 45mm
- second-hand [body] price up to $1000

The Olympus EM1 ii seems like an obvious candidate, the Panasonic G9, or the Canon R10 as a more modern camera (but without IBIS). Ideal would be camera that's smaller than the Olympus and Panasonic G9. I also considered the Canon EOS-M6ii, but found its sensor readout speed too slow/its rolling shutter too high for high-speed electronic shutter photography...

Any other ideas/suggestions that I didn't think of?

(If everything fails, I can still keep using my old Nikon 1 V3... I also considered the Olympus Tough TG-7 as an unconventional solution, but found its image quality insufficient.)
 
I would have the OM1 mk i as your baseline to compare other options against.

50fps with AF/AE, Precapture, fast(ish) sensor readout, 133 RAW buffer, 17/1.8 mk ii WR lens.

The EM1 mk ii only does 18fps in CAF. The OM5 is smaller but limited to 10fps with AF/AE.
