I have had a Sony ZV-1 for about two years now. It's a fantastic compliment to my DSLR as a camera I can fit in my pocket. Simply due to the portability, I end up using it way more than my DSLR.

Edit: I wrote this before clicking the link. I just noticed the subtitle is:

> Young people are embracing the grainy, nostalgic vibe of early digital cameras so they can spend less time on their phones.

I want to add that I am Gen Z, and I also bought the camera because I wanted to stop carrying my phone everywhere :) (and now my phone lives in my sock drawer unless I need it for GPS, which is rare since I have also mostly stopped driving at this point).

Two other devices that I have picked up to remove my reliance on my phone are: bone conducting headphones with on board storage (the on board storage being the key part - I have not found traditional headphones with built in storage), and a Daylight Computer for strictly WiFi based / offline mobile computing.
