I was very fortunate this past Christmas. My wife bought me a Sony RX100 VII.

I agree.

My cell phone is a great tool because it is the one I always have with me and it can record moments and scenes.
All cameras have limitations.
Cell phones have enough limitations that I'm not about to give up my DSLR or mirrorless.
Whatever tool makes the photographer happy or gets the job done, use it.

This is my biggest gripe about cell phone cameras. Atrocious flair. With mine I can't just use a slightly different angle. If there is strong backlight (like a window) there is just bad flair.

Poll: Do you put Pentax weather resistance to the test? Best of Pentax Forums Jan 31 poll

Was on the fence between "in light weather" and "insurance for me". Although when I got I got my first WR body (a K-3 over 10 years ago) one of the first things I did was take it out in a heavy snowstorm with 18-135 attached and walk around for a couple of hours taking photos. When I got home and it was caked with snow I simply let the snow melt, and dried it off with a towel. That setup is still running strong today. I keep an array of WR lenses available for APSC and FF. Thank you Pentax for WR - AW!

Apparently apple has not bothered to update the database (as far as Pentax lenses) in the Photos app for the last 7-8 years. The 55-300 PLM is not recognized (released 2016). Also not recognized are DFA 28-105 and DFA 70-210. These are just the ones I'm aware of, but I suspect all lenses released from Pentax since then are also in the same situation.

Poll: What are your 2024 Gear Acquisition Resolutions? Best of PF Newsletter Jan 3 Poll

The only real choice for me is the last one.
In trying to be reasonable my thought process is I'd like to get one of the higher end lenses for full frame. Likely DFA 21 f2.4 Limited or DFA 50 f1.4.
Or possibly 1 or 2 FA Limited.
I stepped outside the box and asked for a Sony RX 100vii for Christmas and got it. It was very difficult to RESIST asking for a Pentax lens instead.
