I asked grok About a simple cam thats at least as good as the cams of iPhone 15 pro and/or the latest Google pixel Models.

I just want quick unprofessional photos that still Look nice and Detailed.

He recommended to to me the following Models and I Need yalls opinion:

Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III
Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II
Panasonic Lumix ZS200 (TZ200)
Ricoh GR III

To be honest I wanted something below 500€ but I guess I have to reach deeper into my pockets for something nice. Do yall think its worth paying quite a bit more? Or would yall Not pay much more for a nice compact cam?

I find that my Sony RX100 produces better photos than my Pixel phone. It has an auto mode that generally picks the right settings.

The pictures are more detailed and less blurry, especially in low light.

The only post processing necessary is copying the pictures from the SD card, which is admittedly a pretty big hassle.

You're right about buying one second hand, since they're incredibly expensive.

Why is it a hassle?

The SD card? I have to track down my SD card reader, copy the pictures over, and then upload them to my photo service. It's not a huge amount of work, but I'm pretty lazy.

My rx100 doesn't have Wi-Fi. I assume newer cameras would do that automatically, but I don't want to spend $600+ to get another good point n shoot.
