Hi everyone
Long time no see - hope everyone is well. I’m an experienced photographer who has been using a rangefinder for many years. You can see some of my pictures at
Now as you can see I have a two year old boy now and taking pictures of him with the rangefinder can be tricky and I don’t always want to bring a camera when we have bags and other things to carry. You know what it’s like! Also I don’t really specialise in taking pictures of people, preferring landscape/architectural photography.
So I’d like to get a pocketable point and shoot which I can use for getting some nice pictures easily. I kick myself when I use my phone and think afterwards how much nicer the picture would have been on a camera.
My priorities:
- Quick AF not necessarily tracking
- SMALL
- I’m used to a VF but may look at options without
- don’t care about megapixels
- Not fussed re video
Budget - sky’s the limit. I was looking at the Sony rx100 Vii but it does seem like I wouldn’t use many of the video/blogging feature set. The Canon G9x ii looks nice too.
I’m sure this question is asked a lot so hopefully there’s a definitive answer!
Cheers
