FWIW, when a used Pentax FA-600/4 showed up at KEH, it only cost me
slightly more than I paid for my Jeep, and thanks to the Covid stimulus
checks I was able to pay it off in 2 years (instead of 3 like I expected).

The Sony RX10 IV is listed as 2.41 lbs.
A Pentax K1 DSLR body is 1.5 lbs, and a Pentax 600mm lens for it is 22lbs,
never mind that the weight of your wallet is lightened by about $13,000 to
acquire them. Unless you carry that sum in silver dollars, they don't balance
out. ;)
I'm not a wildlife shooter, thankfully. My Leica CL with a typical lens on it
(21 to 50 mm on APS-C format covers medium wide to medium tele, and all are
similar size) weighs in at about 1.6 lbs ready to go. Same for a Polaroid
SX-70, or any of my typical 35mm film cameras...

I think I read that it’s half the weight of a Sony APS-C DSLR with a medium
zoom.

I never thought I’d say it, but at 74, I’m worn out. I don’t know how much
longer I can keep carrying big glass and a full frame camera on a walk
through the woods. Yes, my k-3 is lighter, but it’s still a lot of camera
with a lens that’s long enough to shoot wildlife.
Here’s the camera I want:
