I'm looking to get my first rice cooker. I generally cook rice 2-3 times a week for meal prep, may switch to once and do it in bulk, which is usually a long grain rice. Then once every week or two making sushi rice to make sushi. I used to make more brown rice more often then a white long grain rice.

I'd like to stick below $300 but open to going above if it's really worth it. The two i've been seeing pop up the most are the NL-EAC10 and the NS-ZCC10. I live by myself so 5.5cups is plenty.

(1) Budget, country, and currency: Flexible but ideally under $2k

(2) What equipment, if any, you have now and why is it no longer meeting your needs? Sony A7C w/ Tamron 17-27mm, Sigma 28-70mm, and Tamron 70-300mm. I also have a dubblefilm show film camera. I want something a little more compact to take out when I don't want to bring my Sony A7C. Ideally pocketable but performs well. More of a subtle memory camera.

(3) What kinds of subjects do you intend to shoot? People, food, travel photography. Ideally a "memory" camera.

(4) Is it primarily for photography, videography, or both? Primarily photography.

FYI I've been looking at the Fujifilm x100iv, Ricoh GR iv, and Sony rx100vii. Been leaning towards the Ricoh GR iv.

Budget: Ideally $2k USD

Country: United States

Condition: New or Used

Type of Camera: Mirrorless or Point and Shoot

Intended use: Primarily photography

End use: Social media/sharing with friends/family

If photography: what style: Street, landscape, friends/famlily, more of a "memory" photos

If video what style: N/A

What features do you absolutely need: Would like a viewfinder. Can't do an OLED only screen due to migraine trigger.

What features would be nice to have:

Portability: Ideally pocketable. Maybe shoulder strap.

Cameras you're considering: FujiFilm X100vi, Ricoh GR IV, Sony X100VII

Cameras you already have: Sony A7C w/ three zoom lenses covering 17-27mm, 28-70mm, and 70-300mm.

Background below:

My main camera is a sony A7C and I have three lenses. Tamron 17-27mm, Sigma 28-70mm, and Tamron 70-300mm. I mostly shoot travel photography, family/friend events, and action tennis photography.

I got a cheap dubblefilm show film 32mm camera to also shoot some film photos and get them processed and scanned. I've really been enjoying these more "memory" photos that I get out of it and feel more comfortable bringing that camera in certain spaces than the Sony A7C. Eg. during certain activities traveling with a group, concerts, dinner, etc.

I'm thinking of getting a compact camera to bring with me when I don't want to take my A7C with a large lens. Initially I thought about getting the Fujifilm x100vi, but realize it's about the same size of the A7C, just with a fixed 35mm lens that makes it seem a little more compact. Then I looked at the Ricoh GR iv. I don't shoot often with a fixed lens but do love the photos from the film camera so thought that might be a good option. Then I got the suggestion to look at the Sony RX 100Vii due to the zoom lens and viewfinder, but it only has a 1" sensor. I also briefly considered the Fujifilm x-half but that seemed more gimicky then a good camera.

Between those three options what would be a good 2nd camera to have when I don't want to go out shooting with the A7C and more for "memory" photos. The Fujifilm X100vi, Ricoh GR IV, the Sony RX 100VII, or something else you recommend.

I still don't know if i'm specifically PWM_Sensitive but I've been managing migraines for over 2 years now. At the moment OLED screens seem to be a no go. I am normally fine with most LCD displays. Sometimes some discomfort with my iPad Mini bug generally not. Sometimes discomfort with Macbook Pro but generally fine. Absolutely fine with my desktop monitors.

Generally no issues with phone sized e-ink devices.

I know I had some convergence and accommodation deficiencies which improved but maybe got worse but shouldn't trigger migraines quickly.

I got an iPhone SE 2022 and it worked for me for 1-2 months. Then after, and I think after an update, I can't use it at all. I get a migraine within 15 seconds. Currently relying on Boox Palma 2/Pro and iPad Mini forwarding calls/texts.

Any ideas why? Should I try to go back to another version of iOS?

I added a non reflective screen protector to see if reducing glares would help and it hasn't.
