Hi

Can someone recommend me a compact point and shoot travel camera for Dec winter trip? Does a good handphone camera like Huawei P30 take a better picture than this kind of camera nowadays?

Yes, Huawei phone cameras are probably the same or better than those point and shoot cameras and much slimmer and easier to hold than the conventional cameras.

Depends on how you look at the photos. Do you look from bigger TV screens or do you look from phones only. If you tend to print and enlarge them at some point, it's good to invest in a better p&s camera like sony RX100 series. Can't go wrong with that one. A step up will be A6000 series or might as well go full frame like A7III.

Guess what..

Sold off my a7ii and lens, didnt went for xt3 + 18-55 2.8(cos of the weight) and went for a Leica CL 18-56 kit..

This i agree, if just social media and view on phone then mobile cam is gd enough..If wana big screen or print, min would be p&s..Sometimes i would just send some of my holiday shots for canvas print so die die for me is min a cam for holiday.

Thanks. I am looking for a compact travel camera that can take nice pictures that does not have complicate selection as me and wife are not pro in photography. We mostly see the photos on laptop or hp only or maybe on the TV. Unlikely will printout the photos also.

We just want to take some nice photo for the kids. As we do not really have a very good camera phone. My wife is carrying Note 8 and myself Pocophone.

Feel a bit stupid, if just go and buy a Huawei P30 pro just for the camera. So looking for other option, if not will just stick to our Note 8 or Pocophone as it is not really that bad.

depending on how compact or portable you are looking for.

If those small mirrorlesses like fuji xt-30 is not compact or portable enough for you then stick to camera phone could be better.

Holy...... Leica is totally different segment of the market. That's my dream brand to go when I grow older. How do you find it so far? Dreamy photos?

I did tot about xt3 + that lens combo, gonna cost me around 3.1-3.3k but the weight setup is similar to my a7ii + 16-35 f4 and i also know i will always think about leica..So why not one shot get it off the list.

Just collected it few days back thou. No time to go walkabout in SG but might do so once my new job is confirm and i start clearing leave..

Actually it is not really the phone or camera , it is mainly the person who takes the pictures that matter in your case as you just want some pictures for memory's sake.
Maybe upgrade to the latest Samsung phone?

I am actually happy with both my Huawei P9 plus and Mate 10 phone picture quality, and it is convenient to carry it around esp when I am overseas.

Now with the Huawei issue, I decided not to upgrade to the P30 pro yet. Hoping the price will drop and I hope to buy it then, just for the sake of its camera.

Did you try Leica to be sure? Check it out

 

[purpleberry]

Talking about Leica, there are a few second hand shops focusing on Leica only. Anyone has visited them to see if the prices are competitive?

It's the photographer.. the person taking the photo, not the cameras. Period.

In your case, just get a compact camera that reacts fast (meaning once press, shutter response is immediate): a lowest F range is good (like F1.8; F2.0)

Get one that has a reasonable zoom so you don't need to move around to take the shots you want

If you have a budget, just go to reputable shops (i mean really reputable ones, which may not be the cheapest), tell them your budget, they can recommend.

Usually you can't go wrong with Sony, Canon, Nikon, Olympus etc.

I remember a joke that one of the camera shop guys told me when I was there getting some stuffs

A Indonesian Chinese girl came in and told one of them, I want to look for a cheap point and shoot. The shop owner asked her what was a budget. She told him, around SGD 3K. So they sold her a Leica. This was around 15 years back when Canon just came out with their first affordable digital SLR selling at 1.5K with kit lens.

I can't decide on which Sony camera to get.

The WX 350 looks good as it is small and have built in Wifi and NFC but seems like no selfie function.

The HX 350 has 50 X zoom which is so cool but it looks bulky but dunno whether gor wifi and NFC and selfie or not?
