Quote from: zpyder on April 23, 2022, 08:12:50 AMI realised this evening that I haven't really picked up my SLR in the last few years. Pre-NZ I did a lot of photography, but since moving, I've not had the time to do anything, and find myself thinking "what's the point" when every tourist under the sun has also photographed what I'm looking at.

Having a toddler also I find I just use my phone as its always to hand, and not half bad.

So, I wondered, if I sold off all my gear, is there something more compact that doesn't need several different lenses, that I could buy with the money I get for my stuff, and preferably have something left over.

I've totally been out of the game so no longer know which brands are considered top of the game nor which models. Any idea? Budget is likely around £1000 I guess, may lbe a bit more if needed.

The Sony RX100 VII would be my first choice: it is genuinely compact, has a versatile 24–200mm zoom and excellent autofocus, so you only need one lens.
The Canon G7 X Mark III is also worth considering if you prefer a brighter lens and can find it at a good price; both fit your £1,000-ish budget.
