XM5 v Pocket 4/P - case to still own both?

Any hybrid shooters leaning more video-first stuck between these newer pocket cameras and keeping a mirrorless setup?

The Pocket 4/4 Pro line is getting surprisingly good now — ~38MP stills, Fuji-style film looks baked in, adjustable strength, way more “ready to post” SOOC than older generations.

Current setup:
- iPhone 17 Pro
- Fuji XM5
- Sigma 15mm f/1.4
- 27mm pancake

I’m debating whether to:

  1. sell the Fuji kit entirely and go more frictionless with Pocket + iPhone, or
  2. keep the XM5 + 27mm mainly as a dedicated stills camera.

The Sigma 15 1.4 gives such a nice cinematic look, but selling it alone would fund a huge chunk of the Pocket 4/4P.

Anyone running both types of setups? Curious if you ended up simplifying or regretted selling the interchangeable lens system.

In case anyone wanted to see true colours.

After a whole week of trying to find the perfect combo, soooo happy I landed Skule 20 + Outlong in Fog for my main every day, work, light hiking and gym carry. It was honestly so close and technically, the Skule 20 is a bit redundant but the shape is more passable for work and the bungee/hydration is feature I want for stuffing things. The raven backpack was a no-go due to cats. Kanken 15 was close but the boxy shape at least on me didn’t look right.

Frost Green is much more versatile in just as many situations but looking at my wardrobe, I want the bag to just enhance my outfits than large colour pop.

I love Ochre and Frost Green so will grab a hip pack last 🤍🖤💚
