I do my fair share of traveling and am guessing it’s 90% Smart Phones vs. DSLR’s, Mirrorless, etc. from my observations. Sometimes I feel a little out of place lugging a tripod and everyone else has a phone in their hands for the same shot Lol! I’m pushing 70 and am amazed at this change! All my friends under 60 have only Smart Phones. One day I think they will figure out a way to increase the focal length using AI. Can’t wait!
I use my Samsung Galaxy s22 plus which takes excellent snapshots quite often when I do not have my primary camera with me. However, when I go out shooting and want to creatively capture the best images I can, I use my manual focus Voigtländer prime lenses designed specifically for my Nikon Z fc. Besides the very excellent results I get with those lenses, the shooting experience using manual focus lenses on my retro Z fc body in manual mode gives ves me an immense amount of satisfaction.
