ricoh gr is a super option, could not but agree.
"era was ended" -- it depends on the point of view you take.
I admit you selection criteria migh be different. for example, I bought my full-frame camera for less than 300 dollars; now check how much a good compact camera costs today ... oh-oh-oh, seven members team hold me tight - it is 3-4k USD! plus a good lens for it at half that amount... then, consider for yourself what is more profitable to buy today: a fashionable compact camera of "this era" or a good proven camera with optics from the pre-previous era, for the reasonable money. or a good smartphone, haha....
Oh! I didn't know full frame is cheaper now. In this case you definitely right. Better to buy some old 5dmkii, than fancy compact camera. Smartphone is actually a good idea too!
I went with 1st version of 5d - which has no video options, pretty sadly - but at the time 5dmkii would cost me by 2 times more. now ofc it is much more available, even 5dmkiii has an acceptable price label... -- I'd resume in that way - the camera doesnt matter much, you can operate with a wide range of tools, but good lens arsenal is what matter, lens do nate date in the way that cameras do, right?.. but the most recent cameras editions have a crazy price label, partly because camera manufacturers produce and sell fewer cameras each year -> the market has shrunk, being squeezed by smartphones and compact cameras! - and because of this, fewer cameras -> each one is charged a bigger price. thats the logic behind it, as I see it. in the future, cameras will be sold at the price of "luxury products" ehehe...
