I've got a Canon 750D with the 18-55mm and 70-300mm kit lenses as well as Yongyuo 35mm and 55mm lenses. I originally bought a DSLR for surf photography, but with the kids occupying most of my weekend and I also have a DJI Mini 2, I don't really use the camera for surf shots anymore and carrying around a backpack with all the stuff in it is a bit of a pain for days out. Because of that, I'm thinking of changing to a compact, but still want something half decent, with a viewfinder (perhaps I'm old school, I just prefer a viewfinder to a screen). The most regular use I have for the camera is kids rugby, so something that works well for sports would be useful (and if I get the chance for more surf shots).

The most appealing I've found so far is the Panasonic TZ200, just wondering if there are any better suggestions (that is the upper end of my budget).I did have a RX100mk1 and wasn't that impressed with it, but I guess they have moved on a fair bit.
