[QUOTE="Bengan, post: 719289, member: 45793"] I just bought a pocket size compact. Since I can't live without a viewfinder I ended up choosing between Sony CyberShot DSC-RX100 IV or V-a and Canon's new PowerShot G5 X Mark II. I ended up with the Canon on a Black Friday deal. Sony has faster AF and is a tad more portable. It needs the grip that is sold separately to be comfortable holding. Sony gets better reviews for film capability. Canons camera has touchscreen which simplifies handling and setting parameters, Better EVF functionality, a built in grip and a little more configurability with a wheel for exposure compensation. Canon RAW files are CR3 which is a file format that Lightroom 6 doesn't read, so I have to convert to DNG before importing. CR3 can't be viewed in Windows either (no codec available). I tested it this weekend for the first time at a concert shoot (low light) and compared to a Pentax K-1 with a Tamron 70-200/2.8 it performed surprisingly well. [/QUOTE]
