Standalone cameras lack the killer feature of availability.
"The best camera is the one you have with you."
Every potential camera owner already has a smartphone. This means the standalone camera purchase has to compete with the existing smartphone ("free"/marginal cost zero) and an upgraded smartphone with a better camera (already desired future purchase, so nearly "free"), and for the existing photography hobbyist - the previously purchased DSLR (also "free").
- sgt 7y agoI would recommend the Fuji X100's for this reason. They are very good cameras, yet compact enough to fit in your pocket or in a backpack with ease.
- subpixel 7y agoI have an X100F and I can assure you it is not pocketable. I really wish it were, but it's not.
- sgt 7y agoI suppose which pocket and the size. I've been putting into a jacket pocket.
