Hey so I’m looking for some recommendations for a compact camera. Ideally one that is actually compact and fits in your pocket. Of course I want to get decent quality pictures out of it but nothing crazy.

I don’t know anything about photography. Just want to point and shoot, the same way I use my Samsung Galaxy phone currently.

My budget is around 300€ (can stretch a bit).

The context is I want to switch my smartphone for a dumphone, but I still want a camera to take to trips and stuff. Thanks in advance for suggestions!

Edit: Just to clarify, the pictures don’t have to be as good as a Galaxy S25, but still ideally decent quality as I said.

    For simple point-and-shoot, IMO it’s hard to beat a Canon PowerShot. For SLR, you will need a much higher budget.

    My iPhone 16 Pro Max outshoots my last PowerShot by a wide margin, and I doubt the S25 is too far behind. (Apple uses AI to oversharpen. Samsung uses AI to oversoften. The PowerShot does not use AI to change the image.
