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

    Thank you for the references, I’ll have a look.

    About the lens, from what I see it’s a 50mm/f1.8? Sorry, completely new in this topic 😅

    The 20mm f/2.8 looks good indeed, but would it work for selfies, or would another lens be more fit?

      For ease, I’m not going to get into focal length equivalency.

      According to the first google result, your G84’s selfie focal length is 25.5mm in full frame terms. The Sony 20mm f/2.8 is 30mm in full frame terms, so it will be a little tighter than what you currently experience on your phone.
