The day I bought my Samsung S22 ultra is the day I stopped lugging around my full frame Nikon. And I took it everywhere, all hikes and skitours, many climbs, got with it to 6000m altitude on Aconcagua too. Last time I took it to vacation to Egypt and literally didn't take it out of pouch for 2 weeks. Good pictures as it does, the pain of carrying 2.5kg camera around all the time, looking weird in small public spaces and all the freakin time wasted post-processing ain't worth it for me. I have phone camera with 16x zoom range altogether, small kids and I strongly prefer making (sometimes) sub-ideal pics of almost all situations rather than a bit better pics of few of those. Often it does properly great photos. And much much much better videos. While weighting 200g and fitting (so-so) in my pocket. I literally couldn't care less about mirrorless cameras, for me cameras are over.

This is not a bad approach as long as you only look at your photos on a phone. If you ever print them, or look at them on a monitor, they won't measure up. But for convenience, you can't beat a phone.

And you never really know which photo will turn out so nice you later want to print it. Someone taking photos only on their phone won't have that option. In the wall behind me I have a 4-foot wide print of a photo I took on vacation. It's a crop of a section of the photo that later (a few years later) I realized would make for a great print on the wall. Glad I took it with the DSLR, so a cropped section printed out to 4 feet looks stunning.

Fuji x100v is the way to go for travel, 450gr, fits in a jacket pocket, miles ahead of any phones for portraits, printings, &c. you can shoot jpegs and never edit the files thanks to their inbody presets That being said I also just bring my pixel 3 for hikes and sport in general even though I own a few leicas, nikon, &c. weight is king sometimes
