What mirrorless should I get?

No lenses, no memory cards, just the body. To have and to hold.
Putting anything in front of that magnificent sensor, even glass, would be a travesty.
Do you want to stay mainly in the photography realm, not really do video ever? Or do you envision a hybrid use of your camera? Or would you do a little more video then photo?
XT-30 would get my vote. The XS10 is a great camera, but it's so dSLR-like, and I left dSLRs for mirrorless for the rangefinder wannabe Leica M appeal. I don't want a mode dial. I want vintage-style controls.
Also, an X-T30, especially used, would save you more cash, and at the beginning when you first get an interchangeable lens camera? You need as much budget for glass as you do for the camera body (if not more). Look for IBIS and weather-sealing on your next camera body upgrade. A monopod is IBIS in a stick, and you can always sling a ziploc over your camera. :)
But. If videography is a concentration of yours, you may also want to consider Sony, Canon, and Panasonic, companies that also make professional video gear, and have a bit more insight into what video shooters want.
What's your budget?
