Hi guys! I’d like to consider a small portable camera to carry around whenever traveling, that takes about as little space and weight as possible. The idea is replacing the mobile phone on a stick, as a lot can go wrong when attempting a silly picture near a lake or waterfall (you get the idea).

So I guess no additional lenses or similar, just a portable camera that takes good pictures. As it might be also for my gf’s use, one of the features I’d like it to have probably would be a reversible screen so it can be used to take selfies. And perhaps another one might be an optical zoom, but this might not be mandatory. I am lucky to be in a country where a lot of the models might be available, and even second hand, but I’d need some direction about what would be recommended.

Thanks!

    Seems like every damn phone cases these days has a wrist strap attachment. Even if you attach it to the selfie stick, then the selfie stick to your wrist you’re good.

    Also your phone is probably water proof, a camera probably isn’t. That includes splashes.
