• I’m keen to say goodbye to my phone, and am after a small camera to take with me instead. I’ve got a D700 with a 28-300 3.5-5.6G lens which is obviously far too big for everyday carrying, and may either sell it to fund a new camera or exchange.

    I’d like better ergonomics than is available on the tiniest cameras, and am open to smaller interchangeable lens cameras. Would like good landscape capabilities and good dynamic range. I’ve been out of the camera game for a few years. What would you recommend for the sort of money I could get for my current setup?

  • I had the same dilemma end of last year, wanted to go hand-luggage only for some trips and that meant no dslr sized camera. Also have been frustrated at the lack of quality of an (older) iPhone, fine for family WhatsApp group but that’s about it!

    I ended up with a second hand Fuji XT-3 and a prime 23(?)mm pancake lens. Found it perfect for almost all scenarios, doesn’t quite fit in a jacket pocket (but as a smaller than average sized person, maybe just small pockets!) but perfect for adding to a bag. About the same size as a 500ml bottle of water I found in terms of space.

    Obvs second hand prices vary, I paid c. £500 I think with a case and a few extras as well

  • could sell you XT-2 cheap?

  • My old Pentax ME Super has broken and with the cost of buying and developing film I want to find a digital camera . A bit of research and lots of YouTube videos has me leaning towards a Fujifilm camera. What’s the best pocketable option for under £500ish quid? Have been looking and the X10/20/30 and the XE range but struggling to pinpoint the best option. I’d like to get as close to the Pentax and a 50mm prime lense as possible….
