Point and shoots are dead? Seriously? Have you used a Sony RX100IV? I am an avid hiker/backpacker/climber, and enjoy amateur photography as well. I have hiked/backpacked with a 6D, A6300, and an RX100IV. I think the important thing people need to really ask themselves is are you shooting to document or shooting to potentially print and put extensive editing into. Equally important is the time/distance/pace in which you plan on backpacking. Are you on a backpacking trip that you want to take some pictures? Or, are you on a photography trip where you're backpacking as a means of travel. HUGE difference there. I like to cover a lot of distance and travel light when I climb/backpack and the RX100IV absolutely dominates at this. There is simply not a more capable camera on the market for the weight. It stays on my shoulder strap in a LowePro case protected with a short 12" leash. This is perfect for blog or just general documentary photography. It will last for 3 full days on a single charge taking around a couple hundred images. Now if I want to backpack into a location for the purpose of taking pictures then the A6300 with a couple lenses is the way to go, but to say point and shoots are dead is just foolish.
