I've got a phone with a camera. Get that one done and gone to start!
I have the need for a flexible travel camera.
Lightish
decent zoom range. Must go 24 to over 100, pref more,
viewfinder,
excellent JPEG quality,
easy and logical menus if I need them.
If it's small, it can't be fiddly (no little buttons just where you put your fingers and thumbs)
And I won't be making videos.
I tried an Olympus 'tough' compact...too tiny and image quality no better than the phone
Also an Olympus OM 10 mk2...fine but infuriating autofocus and buttons everywhere.
The standout choices are
Sony RX100 series (but it's tiny, the menus are horrible and the JPEG colours are so so)
Canon's G5X Mk 2...closest I think in production now.
Panasonic LX 100 2 also decent but 2nd to the Canon (jpeg colour again)
But if those 3 were not so pocketable, I'd not want them.The unanswerable stumbling block there is: In pocket good / tiny for big hands, bad.
Hmmm...so now I'm wondering about the latest CSCs and compromising on portabilty for improved lens flexibility, jpeg quality and a better ergonomic experience.
has anyone any experiences of the Sony 6000 series, Nikon's new Z50 or the Canon M6 series?
Any and all thoughts most welcome, esp on something both easy and enjoyable to use with excellent JPEGs. Ta.
