Considering a mirrorless...Nikon compatibility? (lemm.ee)

Hi guys! I'm just a newbie in a way, that some years ago inherited a Nikon DX D7100 with a rather good Nikkor zoom 18-200mm VR (I understand it's the first one, as they might have re-released it at later stages). I played with it for quite a while and took some really good pictures, but at this point it's rather cumbersome to pack in the luggage, together with the drone as well. I'm considering a smaller mirrorless camera perhaps, so I can have something easier to carry around during a hike/tour/scooter ride. However, I would like to keep the portability with the zoom to some degree, as I really love how easily it made to frame subjects and get really good pics. Would you guys have recommendations for cameras (Nikon or not-Nikon), that can fit a Nikon lens with/without some adapter? Just in case this is a DX lens, not full frame, AFAIK (but I wouldn't mind some...vignetting, or digitally/automatically cropping the picture after the fact, if needed).

There is actually a G9M2 available now. I have the cheaper G95 and I like it!

The GX9 is a rangefinder camera without much of a grip, so the body is pretty compact. The G9M2 on the other hand is a M43 sensor in a FF body. Here's the GX9 vs G9:

Oh yes, I completely ignored the x in that model. I do wish Lumix would make a new updated range finder, that would be a unique model for today's market.

Easily done! I’m constantly thinking I’ve found an answer to a question about the GX9, reading for a while, and then realising it’s about the G9, and it’s not relevant to my body. It’s a shame it’s not been updated yet, I really love this little camera and think that with a few updates, it could rival the Fuji x100 series in many ways.
