I Reviewed Late-2000s Digital Cameras. Allow Me to Remind You Why We All Switched to iPhones.

finally, a "what to buy" article that says "don't buy"

www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/iphone-camera-vs-old-school-point-and-shoot/

Anyone have a recommendation for something smaller than a canon rebel t6? (Pocketable?)

Haven’t found a phone that isn’t color stupid or takes pics that don’t turn to grainy trash with the slightest zoom… Even 50mp phones are wildly outclassed by a decent 18-24mp cam.

what's your price point? did you consider the article's "disposable film camera" suggestion? the article mentions some high-end compact cameras at $1500 and links their review of point-and-shoots, which includes "The best camera for capturing distant subjects: Panasonic Lumix FZ80D, $435 from Best Buy"

Yeah idk why I asked that question without specifying a price point… I’m definitely looking at used market <500… The t6 w/ lense was 220 ish…

That lumix looks nice and the zoom is impressive. Not sure on pocket-able ness.
