Camera advise: compact, mirrorless or DSLR
Good to hear from you
From your description of the work you do / want to do, it seems to me that you will be better off using a "good quality, pretty automatic" sort of camera rather than a big & heavy, "all-singing - all-dancing professional camera that swaps lenses as needed"
Of the cameras you mention ...
Sony RX100-V ... Panasonic LX100-II ... Leica D-Lux 5
all are similar in size & shape and lens supplied
The critical thing in most everyday photography is the size of the sensor - the larger it is in physical size, the better the quality of the resulting photo. In the above 3 cameras, the Panasonic has the largest sensor (called a 4/3rd's sensor), it comes with an excellent built-in viewfinder (which is an extra cost for the Leica), and "all the usual" extra settings
Upon this - I would suggest you look at the Panasonic first, then maybe the Sony RX100 next
ps: I am a Panny user from way-back, but I have not let this influence the above comments
Hope this helps
