I asked grok About a simple cam thats at least as good as the cams of iPhone 15 pro and/or the latest Google pixel Models.

I just want quick unprofessional photos that still Look nice and Detailed.

He recommended to to me the following Models and I Need yalls opinion:

  • Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III
  • Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II
  • Panasonic Lumix ZS200 (TZ200)
  • Ricoh GR III

To be honest I wanted something below 500โ‚ฌ but I guess I have to reach deeper into my pockets for something nice. Do yall think its worth paying quite a bit more? Or would yall Not pay much more for a nice compact cam?

If you have other recommendations please do throw them into Discussion!

Edit: sheesh i forgot this is lemmy with all the anti ai stuff. In any case I understand the hate but can we please just focus on the matter at Hand?

Instead of a "compact camera", I'd recommend getting a used Lumix DMC-GX80 + the 20 mm pancake prime lens. If you don't like primes and prefer to zoom, you can get a compact zoom lens instead.

Some people really don't like buying used camera equipment... but I have had only positive experiences so far.

    Yeah, I get that. I think that this camera + lens combination would meet your criteria while giving you pretty decent quality and the ability to upgrade. It is what I have recommended in the past to people asking this same question and they have been very happy with it. You can pass the idea through Grok, I think it will agree ;)
