I may have asked this before and I'm sure others have but can you help me decide?

I want a more pocketable APSc sensor camera, with a viewfinder and tilt screen. I really love my X-pro 2. I also have an old x100s but found the focussing too slow. I am not also a fan of fixed 35mm equiv. so....
I really am looking at fixed 28mm lenses or zooms perhaps.

Toying with the idea of a XE-4 because then I could put my weeny 18mm fuji lens on it.
Primarily it's wanted for a walk about camera - street and some landscape and flowers. Something that fits in a coat pocket. I do like the tilt screens too.

What should I check out? Do any other than the x100v have a built in ND.

Cheers and Happy New Year.

For local street photography I use an X100V.  For street when traveling, I use a micro four thirds camera: Panasonic GX9 with Panasonic-Leica 15/1.7 (30mm 135 equiv).  I use the GX9 for travel because a) I have several compact primes and zooms for it and b) it has built-in stabilization so I can shoot video with all my lenses and c) I use it in conjunction with another m43 body (Panasonic G9).
