I am considering getting a camera, it will used for taking photos while on holiday and I will try some street photograph & landscapes when im not abroad.
I would like something light so mirror less? I will be buying used, I’m not sure where to start the last camera I used was Nikon D70 20 years ago.

So I will be learning everything again, I think I will prefer a camera with dials & buttons than using the touch screen, so far I have looked at the Fuji X-T3, XS-10, Nikkon Z50,Z50, Z6

I was looking at zfc but I think the X-T3 will be better choice? Or the Z50 although it doesn’t have those dials I like...

What are pros/cons for each manufacture? e.g cheaper lens better 3rd party support?

What should i look out for when buying used apart from high shutter count?

I'm in a similar situation as you, even down to the D70! I just ordered an Olympus E-M1 Mark III from MPB as I wanted the computational features and image stabilization as I'm not going to be carrying a tripod around.

I opted for the Olympus as it's decently priced second hand ,weather sealed, and quite small.
Another camera to read up on! I forgot about Olympus I will have look.
 
high shutter count doesn't matter unless it's in multiple hundreds of thousands, and at this point usually the camera it self is heavily worn. Realistically how many pictures are you gonna take? You won't tickle the shutter count at all. What it does mean though is you can get a significantly cheaper bargain which allows you to get a a higher end camera (read : more knobs and less touch screen bs) for the same price.
Thanks for the reply i didn't understand your (read : more knobs and less touch screen bs) comment
