Travel Photography 2026: iPhone 17 Pro vs Compact Mirrorless (Sony A6700, Fuji X100VI, Leica Q3) — When It's Worth Carrying a Camera

In 2026 the iPhone 17 Pro has a 1/1.14-inch sensor, 5x optical zoom and ProRAW that covers almost everything. Almost. The question isn't whether dedicated cameras still make sense in travel, it's when. This is an honest analysis — Sony A6700, Fujifilm X100VI, Leica Q3 — with the real scenarios where phones fail: dim cathedral interior without flash, lion at 200 meters in the Serengeti, 15-second aurora exposure in Iceland, 24-inch wall print. Includes complete 7kg carry-on setup, drone regulations across the EU, US and Japan, and SD card backup without WiFi.
