Would something like a used
Fujifilm X-E2 (with latest firmware)
or X-E2S be viable? I've seen some used ones on the market selling in the range of GBP 125-200, body only.
Staying with Fuji would probably bring similar and familiar handling, a similar user interface, menus, features, etc. The X-E2S has an X-Trans sensor similar to the X100F's, so post-processing would be similar. The compact size would also be similar to the X100. With this mirrorless system, there's no need to perform any lens AF fine adjustments.
The Fuji APS-C mirrorless system provides the option of mounting low-cost manual lenses with adapters. In fact, my son uses a Pentax-M 50/1.7 on his X-T3; the K-to-X adapter cost less than GBP 30.
I haven't used any of the X-E series cameras, nor have I done any extensive research. However, I recall the X-E2 and S received favourable reviews when they entered the market. With Fuji's subsequent firmware update, the X-E2 approached the -S model's functionality.
Other Fuji X- models are also available on the used market, but I haven't looked into the full range.
