-
Condition: Used
-
Type of Camera: Point and shoot
-
Intended use: 75% Photography, 25% video
-
If photography; what style: Landscape, street, wildlife, scenery
-
If video what style: Not sure
-
What features do you absolutely need: Long zoom, 8/10x or more
-
What features would be nice to have: Articulated screen
-
Portability: Pocketable or small bag
-
Cameras you're considering: Something like the RX100 VII but older and cheaper
-
Cameras you already have: RX100 V, love it, but I want a longer zoom
-
Notes: I don't mind to get an older camera, I mostly want the zoom and that it is small, I can deal with reduced megapixel resolution.
I used to have a Panasonic FZ28 which I really loved to use all the way zoomed in, but the camera was way too big and the image quality was not amazing. I still loved playing with those superzoomed framings, and would like to get something back akin to that, but pocketable and with better image quality.
