I shoot street candids with a DSLR with either a 24-70mm f2.8 lens or an 85mm f1.8. I don’t find my DSLR ‘too big’ to lug around.
If you want quality shots & the ability to throw the b/g out of focus (essential imo for street portraits, to isolate the subject) then a compact camera is NOT gonig to achieve this.
I shoot aperture priority or manual for street.
