I sold my DSLR gear in 2015 including my absolute favorite 35/f2 lens, and I have an X100V on backorder in 2022 for its 35mm equivalent f/2 prime lens: seven years of AI missteps and absent bokeh in my preferred framing has finally gotten to me. I know that my phone will take better telephotos, and I know my phone has RAW mode and three lenses and takes amazingly great pictures. So I'm specializing my camera to exactly where I love it most, and will let my phone handle everything else, and I’m content that each has their strengths.
Because people who find their 2022 smartphone outperforming their 2015 DSLR don't upgrade to a 2022 DSLR.
