I am disappointed with the camera performance of my RM500 phone. But what was I expecting. My question now is: Can a RM500 point & shoot camera, used or new deliver better photos than a RM500 phone?

QUOTE(mastering89 @ Apr 12 2019, 09:43 AM) Mind sharing what dissappoints u in the phone's camera performance? Better colour reproduction, less washout flash photography, flash permanently on during photo taking, better auto focuswhat kind of performace is lacking on the phone? what kind of improvement are u looking for? what is a better photo to u? QUOTE(mastering89 @ Apr 12 2019, 09:43 AM) is it a convenience to bring a camera with u just to take photo & need to transfer to pc then to phone later on? I don't carry if I need carry an additional device as long as the dedicated camera offers better photos then my phone. I will need to transfer photos to PC regardless whether phone or dedicated camera. QUOTE(mastering89 @ Apr 12 2019, 09:43 AM) I have not done a survey on cameras I can purchase with RM500QUOTE(mastering89 @ Apr 12 2019, 09:43 AM) My phone is Nokia 2.1 QUOTE(mastering89 @ Apr 12 2019, 09:43 AM) RM500 |

QUOTE(-kytz- @ Apr 15 2019, 07:45 PM) You can try the Canon S90, S100 or the S110. Alternatively, the Lumix LX3 or the Olympus XZ-1. I do recall that the Canon S series was the unofficial predecessor to the Canon G7X which are great camera. These used to be nice compacts costing RM1.5k a number of years back and would still take better pictures than any new camera you buy with RM500 today.. Thank you for your input. I will certainly look into it. There was one listing for a S90 but I dismissed it quickly due to being 9/10 years old. If your statement is true, I'm surprised. |

QUOTE(-kytz- @ Apr 15 2019, 09:03 PM) You might want to check out the samples from the cameras for you to decide. Dpreview is a good site to start off I see. once again, thanks for suggesting suggestion on how to proceed. have to ask, what about the S95? and out of the Canon S series, which is known to be the most problematic? Cause I read something in regards to lens error with S100. |

Update. Earlier today, I bought a used S100. I'm not quite ready to determine whether the photos are better than my phone but I would say that the photos taken with the S100 are at least on par.
