I recently looked for a "decent" pocketable camera in the $500 range. Nothing in that price range compares to a phone camera.

I recently looked for a "decent" pocketable camera in the $500 range. Nothing in that price range compares to a phone camera.
- avenueb 7y agoI bought a Canon M100 mirrorless in that price range and I have to disagree. Maybe a $1000 phone can come close, but you can't change lenses on a phone so I don't see how a phone camera can match what you can do with a $500 camera.
- distances 7y agoI have a feeling that "pocketable" and "changeable lenses" are completely different camera types.
- sixothree 7y agoThe 1080p 60fps is not quite as good as what you get in a 3 year old iPhone. It's fine I guess. It's fine. I'm going to guess the video has some arbitrary limit to record only 10 minutes at a time. Still this is kind of what I was looking for. Thank you for the advice.
- m463 7y agoIf you drop "pocketable", I think the super-super-zooms are really amazing (canon sx60hs/sx70hs and nikon p900/p1000). They exceed what phone cameras and DSLRs can do.
