I had the same dilemma end of last year, wanted to go hand-luggage only for some trips and that meant no dslr sized camera. Also have been frustrated at the lack of quality of an (older) iPhone, fine for family WhatsApp group but that’s about it!
I ended up with a second hand Fuji XT-3 and a prime 23(?)mm pancake lens. Found it perfect for almost all scenarios, doesn’t quite fit in a jacket pocket (but as a smaller than average sized person, maybe just small pockets!) but perfect for adding to a bag. About the same size as a 500ml bottle of water I found in terms of space.
Obvs second hand prices vary, I paid c. £500 I think with a case and a few extras as well
Thanks so much for your feedback. Sounds like exactly the sort of thing I need… I like the look of the manual controls and the size too. Will have a hunt around. Anyone here selling a similar setup?
