he one thing holding the Pocket 3 back is the one thing that makes it great.

I recently saw a video where a content creator compared the Pocket 3 to Sony's ZV-1 Mark II. In that video, the influencer said that the Pocket 3 was better in almost every category and was good enough to replace his ZV-1 II. I believe there is one thing that prevents the Pocket 3 from replacing most cameras and as a Pocket 1 owner I know from experience.
