I was thinking of getting a camera like that! It has a stellar reputation and your work confirms that!
Sony RX100 v5
I am also looking at the full frame 35mm focal length Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-RX1R II 35mm fixed focal length camera versus the APS C Fuji X100V, perhaps the best designed fixed lens pocketable camera ever.m with an “equivalent 35mm full frame” focal length of ~ 38mm.

Each weighs about 1 Lb and should be far better for me than the heavy Fuji MF I lug around!

Myself, I lean heavily towards zooms primarily so I can manouver in situations of crowed environments and distance. Everything is a compromise when it comes to each individuals personal needs and wants.

The Fuji x-pro was to me a should of, would have, could have body. But it seems that they just couldn't get it together in their own design group to stay on point as to what they were creating. They kept on changing it instead of refining it.

consistency and flow in design. stick with one basic design and then evolve it. to me they seem like children playing with lego. instead think about usability. unfortunately, these are dead cameras

i had their X10 and still have their X20 point and shoots. i still go out and shoot with the X20. by todays so called standard it has its pluses still and of course the losses from age. the X20 is/was a competent camera.
what i liked on this camera is that
- the zoom was strictly mechanical
- looking through the eyepiece gave you shooting info
- it took filters
- it did not have the soap on a rope feel not too small
- even gave the zoom value in FF equivalent.
