Hello everyone,

Kind of fell into this rabbit whole yesterday. I usually take pictures with my phone, which is not great at this (Moto G84), so I was considering getting a compact point and shoot camera to have better pictures.

At the moment, my main use case is to indeed take selfies with my girlfriend, or friends/family. I’ve read a bit about the topic, and it seems like the consensus is that recent phones (less than 5 years) will take better selfies and general pictures than point and shoot cameras.

Is this true?

I see a Sony RX100M3 second hand at 350€, is it worth it?

Thank you for your help

    I don’t have that Sony but going by the specs it has a lens that covers 84 degrees. For comparison, your Moto wide angle lens does 118 degrees.

    It’s going to take much better pictures but selfies will be harder because the lens doesn’t go as wide.

      Thank you for your comment, that’s an element I hadn’t taken into account!
