I use Sony A7 II and have one original A7 as a back up to that one. In practice battery life has been of little concern, and is no reason to stay away from Sony. In fact the EVF allows for less chimping, since you can see the exposure in real time.

I compared weight and size of a Sony A7 35mm format system to a Fuji X-T1 APS-C system, and found the difference to be small, so I decided on Sony 35mm full frame mirrorless.

The image stabilizer (IBIS) in the A7 II is a definite advantage.

My Sony A7 devours batteries at an unprecedented speed. Is there a difference against the A7II as the latter has additional features (IBIS)?

As I mentioned, RX1 series camera uses a tiny NP-BX1 battery that is not comparable to NP-FW50 for A7 series, alpha 6x00 series and the older NEX-3/5/7 series.

I use the Sony RX100 III which is pocketable and produces very sharp images.  In addition I sometimes carry my Nikon Z 6 with AF-P Nikkor 70-300mm 4.5-5.6E to give me a lightweight kit with longer zoom.
