I don't want to buy a new flagship every two years. I just want to have a nice pocket camera and keep my midrange for a while. My old olympus pocket camera lasted for almost a decade. Preferably nothing more expensive than $700

The Ricoh GR 3/3x/4 are the only cameras that remain pocketable with reasonable IQ. The rx100 series are a close second, but you'll be trading down in IQ (but trading up in AF).The GR is notorious for sucking dust into the sensor, so if your target environment has a polluted atmosphere, avoid, unless you have a Ricoh service center close by.I found an LX100 in mint condition for ~360 on mpb. You'll find some decent deals if you're patient, but again, the IQ will be a step down from even the RX series despite the larger sensor.The other models mentioned will only make you want to kys when you compare the IQ and shooting experience to that of a phone.If you are really committed to something timeless with decent IQ, film might be the way to go.Picrel, the GR is the GOAT in pocketable digital compacts.
>>4490075No :(Sounds like you should just use your phone instead :(((
>>4490178i can sing this in my head but i dont remember what its from
>>4490075Digital? Unlikely. If you want to try film, there are many options
>>4489617I want to punch her boobies>if you know what I mean
>>4489617Sony ZV-1 not big shots but is a great video camera
for strictly photos it's not 1:1 as modern phone software averages frames for low light (and for this definition it's like normal indoor lighting not crazy full frame pulling full detail in the darkness)I mean you could do this manually with a compact in post but only if nothing moves so the still small 1/1.5? sensor punches above its size in phones and is basically on par with 1" or more nowtldr just sensor size now, 1"+which leaves you with rx100 series and ricoh gr and zv1F for extantactually that one sony action cam tooI wish panasonic still made their compactsfor video though you can just go with similar sensor sizes as long as bitrate is good enough
>>4495056Very helpful
>>4490766This cope is so stupid. Did you know that all of those cameras will be fucked permanently by a bit of dust getting in? "Weather sealed" is a lot more than "able to take shots in the rain." For a fixed lens camera in particular it should be a given.
