I'm trying to catch up with that now, but I also don't want to introduce a smartphone into every experience and destroy the moment I actually wanted to capture. After searching alot for a very compact camera I can just pull out, blindly take pictures and stow away for later review, I found the long-discontinued DxO-One being a gem. A really nice blend of good camera-hardware and ultra-compact design, at a (now) crazy-low price. (It was initially sold at ~700 USD, but flopped and then later discontinued, but it can now still be purchased at ~110 USD as new, and that's hard to beat for a large-sensor (1" sensor) camera with a great lens (f/1.8 with mechanical iris). I started collecting data about it, because it also has quite some potential to be hacked and customized [0] [0]: https://github.com/rickdeck/DxO-One/wiki https://github.com/rickdeck/DxO-One/wiki
