I'm waiting on Sony to release a new aps-c camera as I think that hits the sweeet spot as far as weight goes.
Not a huge amount really. And certainly not out there to do any serious photography. I've considered taking my proper camera gear before but it's just too heavy and it's not really the reason I head out walking. It's just nice to have something half decent with me if I see something nice to photograph. Mostly just taking shots to document the adventure with my friends. It's all about compromise I guess. If possibly I'd like to leave my phone turned off unless I need to make a call (if there's reception) or as a backup GPS.crollsurf wrote:Flagship Samsung or iPhone cameras keeps life simple and good for 3 days, no power bank required. As a photographer, how many shots are you going to take anyway?
The in-phone jpg auto-post is very good but I like to desaturate the green but happy to live with the auto-post.
There are some clip-ons with ND and CPLs on ebay. You can pay $$$ for these clip-ons but how good is the glass on these phones?

My Oppo phone takes great photos too and I'm planning on buying a small tripod and a remote shutter to get some better photos with it.

The battery life is fantastic if you are not using the flash and don't take too many movies. I don't mind the weight as it takes great photos, superior to most smart phones, particularly if you want to blow them up and it gives you more shot control. That said I have just got a Sony 1 III phone (not sold in Oz but easy to get from Hong Kong), it has 3 Zeiss lenses including a telephoto and the photo software they are using in that is much the same as their main stream cameras. I will report back on that in the near future

I have tried phone, gopro, RX100m3, and an entry level DSLR D7200 and the best all round package and best photos come from the Sony. It doesn't have the best zoom but it does great wide and low light shots. Be careful though, mine was definitely damaged by water ingress.
I was intrigued by that Insta360. How do you find it?headwerkn wrote:Panasonic Lumix GX8 or GM5, iPhone 11 Pro, Insta360 One-R with 360 and 4K modules.
