the latest phones are certainly very impressive considering their size. but tiny sensors, tiny fixed lenses, awkward handholding, etc, add up to less than satisfying images for me if i’m taking photos for pleasure.
for now i decided to avoid any new cameras and try the z7 on a blackrapid strap and picked up two small/light/cheap lenses. one is a crop sensor lens, so if i like that i may switch to a z50 when riding. if the overall package is just too bulky, i’m guessing m4/3 or another interchangeable mirrorless solution won’t be enough smaller to matter and i’ll give a 1” compact like the canon g9x a try.
