So I want to get Lisa a new camera for Christmukkah. She's a photo nerd and has some pretty high end stuff such as a Leica rangefinder (it's for sale if anyone wants it PM me) and a handful of others but they're too bulky to take on trips, throw in a purse, etc. So I'm looking for pro type adjustability, with an auto mode for derpy/lazy snaps, and hopefully decent low light performance.
She borrowed a friend's Ricoh GRII and although she seems to like it, she thinks it feels like a piece of crap (lightweight plastic case, not
![:stfu: :stfu:](./images/smilies/stfu.gif)
type problem), low light performance is lacking, and she just prefers adjusting things with knobs instead of tapping through e-menus. She also thought the Olympus PEN felt like a kid's toy because it was too light. Real camera snob here guise. Anyway...
I'd like to keep it under $1k if possibru.
Larger sensor, like an APS-C or Micro Four Thirds
No interchangeable lenses, trying to keep this more compact than her Leica.
Knobs preferred to digital menus to adjust things.
Metal case preferred to plastic one but this is lowest criteria really. I'd rather black metal than silver just from a you-gon'-get-mugged perspective.
I've had really bad luck with Canons, so I'd prefer no Canon cameras.
The Fujifilm X100F looks

nice. But it's more than double the cost of the Ricoh. Is it worth it?
