I currently use a Lumix ZS100. I like to have some zoom.
In the past I've used an older Lumix (ZS40 perhaps) and a Canon SX700HS. I prefer the operation of the Lumix over the Canon.

Been shooting with a GR II for the last 8 months. Love the usability one-handed and of course the snap focus.

Another vote for the Lumix . . .
Quote:
The only drawback I've seen is limited tonal range between highlights and shadows. I end up having to work with the final shots to bring up the shadows and tone downs the highlights. It does shoot HDR, but not good for on the move. I put it on sports mode to bias toward faster shutter speed. Here's some recent rides all shot with the ZS50 Lumix: Poultney, VT, gravel: https://photos.app.goo.gl/aXgGSNRnWDGfT6Tf9 Adirondacks Ididaride event gravel: https://photos.app.goo.gl/K4fvXgeHTR5aUKz48 Solo Catskills: https://photos.app.goo.gl/EDk1kfeLdmTvkxqF6 BBD

Found a picture of my Sony RX100 when I retired it. Durable for sure.

I use a Fuji xt3, my iPhone XR, and a GoPro Hero 7.
It depends what you’re looking for. I-phone is the most flexible in a compact package. GoPro has a lot going for it. It’s the most portable, and as previously mentioned, takes photos in RAW format which is a step above the iphone. The main limitation is that you have to be comfortable with the super wide angle perspective and the compositional challenges that go along with that. Fuji: pro quality, and probably overkill for anything that you’re not printing. Last edited by Marc40a; 08-19-2019 at 09:03 PM. |

Agreed. I have a iPhone X and I almost never take a bad photo. Photos automatically upload to icloud so they are available on my high resolution ipad. No heavy bulky camera in my pocket either. The only thing I miss from having a dedicated camera is the zoom lens. |

For you guys that carry the small cameras, how do you deal with sweat + camera? Do you have any problems?

I was thinking about getting a camera for rides as well but for a slightly different purpose. I always see something interesting on most rides and I’m either too slow to get it out or too tired/lazy.
So I was thinking of a bar mount camera. Something like an old GoPro Sessions. I think I can rig a QR mount. Quick access and decent photos or videos. Then my phone for things worthy of better picture quality. |

A camera good enough to beat your phone? You'll need a Sony RX100 or RX1. If you want higher quality, the Panasonic lx100 or Sony Nex series. I wouldn't go sub RX100.

In terms of sensor quality, maybe, but the optics of a dedicated camera -- particularly the zoom lens -- can well beat out a phone if you're not shooting at the focal length of the phone (and therefore using the "digital zoom"; i.e., crop).

Regarding camera v iPhone: I have found a camera (at least the RX100) is easier to operate with one hand on a bike. That’s something to consider when thinking about buying a camera.
