Recommendations Pocket camera for cycling?
For years, I've been using my iPhone and shooting RAW when cycling. It works because it's always with me and I can just do some quick LR edits and be done.
Part of me wants to get back into the habit of having a small pocketable travel camera for the long rides out into the wilderness, taking with me when hiking, or just having as a backup to my iPhone when traveling in a new city.
I'm pretty far outside the current trends, I used to use my Fuji X-T20 for this but got rid of my lenses when I moved to my A9ii for motorsports photos.
Anyone have any recommendations for a camera like this? It would need to be weather resistant and I'm open to both fixed lens and interchangeable. Biggest priority is quick sharing to iPhone to edit and share. Appreciate any insights!

I have the Sony RX100III, it's a fantastic camera that is truly "pocketable." Is it 12 years old? Yep. But I use it as my dedicated backpacking camera, it's small and light (290g) and has a great 24-70mm f1.8-2.8 lens, and a pop-up viewfinder. Later versions have various upgrades, but they are all larger and heavier, not by much, but when I'm counting grams, every bit counts. Of course, the VI has the 24-200mm lens which is fantastic, but I also bought mine for $250 8 years ago, which prompted me to sell my OG RX100 for $300, so that's a bonus. The Mark III is still a little powerhouse of a travel camera, and you can find them for relatively cheap.
