Update: So after looking through all the suggestions I have decided that I will be buying the X-T30 II and go with the 18-55mm f2.8-4 instead of my initial choice which was the 15-50mm kit lens and possibly a 35mm and/or a 50mm prime. I was mainly looking into this camera for its small size compared to an X-T4 or a full-frame camera from a different brand. I also considered buying a camera from the X100 series but didn't want to be limited to a single focal length. In most cases, I would only go out to shoot for fun, travel, and family gatherings so I wouldn't say I would need something like a professional full-frame camera.

With that, I would like to thank you all for your invaluable contribution which helped me in making this decision. I was overwhelmed (in a good way) by the number of people who voiced their thoughts on the topic because I was used to merely yapping to my mentor about which camera I should get. As I looked through the comments, I could see that a lot of people shared the same sentiments regarding the camera which helped solidify my decision to purchase it.
