Hello photoforum !
After shooting photos with whatever phone I had on hand for years, and most recently with the iPhone 6 and Note 4, without ever being too satisfied with the result, I have now decided that I want to take it one step further with a "real" camera.
---
I have narrowed down my choice to the following:
Although I suspect that both the larger cameras would perform better than the RX100, at the same time I really like the idea of still getting decent photos in such a pocketable format.
Even though I already consider myself a "good photographer" in terms of composition, subjects and framing, I don´t currently have much if any knowledge of the technical aspects of photography.
Though being a quick learner, and very technologically and technically inclined, I foresee that I will quickly get the hang of it by perhaps reading a few books on the subject or following online guides.
---
With all this in mind, what are the pro and cons of each? Does the much decreased portability of a larger camera like the two I mentioned justify the difference in photo quality from the ultra compact RX100 M3?
Will any of these be a decent step up from an iPhone 6/Note 4?
Thanks!
