QUOTE(onthefly @ Dec 11 2016, 03:07 PM) In short, plan to get a new camera, upgrade from an old 5MP Nikon IXUS 510. I've got the original RX100 and had the same dilemma as you when contemplating an upgrade (gotta have them selfie screen)#1 requirement - Preferable pocketable as used for travelling #2 requirement - Quality picture ( probably min 1 inch lens size) #3 requirement - Preferable rm2.5K below So I done research and targeted Panasonic GF7 Mark II as is the best bang for money However when test it at a shop yesterday, it was not really pocketable even tho it was marketed as "compact" & "small", Even a mirrorless like Panasonic GF7, Sony a5100 is similiar size but the lens makes it protruding. I might as well get a small mirrorless camera sized ? However that also ends up using camera straps which i am trying to avoid. The pro side, quality of picture will definitely be a jump from a compact camera. The only pocketable with quality pictures are Sony RX100 Mark III, Panasonic LX10, panasonic TZ110 But they are over my budget by a big sum. My initial budget was only 1.5k but i have pushed it up until 2.5K now So my dilemma is, should add $ to my budget again to get one of the real quality pocketable camera or get a small size mirrorless camera. Are they any other cheaper alternative to those compact mention camera ?  Could anyone share some input & advice for my situation.   In short, I went with the panasonic GF7 and S7 Edge combo. The phone for situations where I absolutely can't bring camera like formal settings etc. The GF7 for those after-work sightseeing where I'm more casually dress, having the camera in one pocket and a select few lens on the other. Ignore the fuji lens on the left... Here's my ghetto setup... GF7 with wrist strap and RX100 grip. 14mm pancake on the lens for generally purpose since we're all used to that "phone standard" focal length, 12-32 zoom, 35-100 zoom, fisheye lens cap for lol fun and the 20mm f1.7.
