Yea, I was in a similar place a few months back. I ended up getting a Panasonic LUMIX ZS100, which had the right amount of zoom, very portable, and produces sharp images. Works for me quite well.
RLK349, thank you.

While I can't compare it to any of the others mentioned, I'm more than happy with my G9x. I even bought a G9x Mk2 when my Mk1 got crushed in a stupid accident. I've used it on vacations, at auto races, etc. Some of my vacation photos are printed up to 20' wide and look great.
stu352, thank you.

I also use a Canon G7xm2.
It is a very durable camera as well as taking nice photos... I have carried it many many hours in my bike jersey back pocket while cycling... with all the bumps and movement entailed in that.
It shoots raw and the lens is pretty fast.

I have a Sony WSC-W230 that works well and I'd buy again with the exception of its memory stick.

Buy a Superzoom all in one camera lens combo with a one-inch sensor. Interchangeable lenses defeat the Pocket Size requirement ... unless you have really big pockets.
Sony, Panasonic, Canon all make them and each has virtues. I chose the Panasonic TZ100 because it had long reach and had been replaced by the TZ200 so the price dropped significantly. Sony has so many updates that they will soon run out of Roman Numerals.

I have a Canon G5X and love it. I just got a Canon G1X mark 3 because it is water resistant and hope it is as good. Good luck.
Mcwane thank you.

I like the Sony HX99 because.
1. you can shoot RAW
2. has a pop up viewfinder that acts just like a DSLR
3. has a 24-750 mm Zeiss zoom capable of producing very sharp 20X30 prints.
4. fits in a belt pouch allowing you to travel hands free.
5. has a tilt screen allowing you to get that low angle shot

billnikon, thank you for your input. Your endorsement of the Sony hx99 in previous threads is what got me started on this path of “traveling light and traveling right”(!)

In love with my RX100 Mark iv. I only shoot raw. It’s eye recognition is a game changer. Packed with features yet tiny. It’s build quality is excellent. The flip around screen permits Really great selfies. Has external mic jack for video. This latest version has longer reach. Because it’s soo small it’s always with me.
Mrtaxi, thank you.

the rx100 vii has a 200mm zoom - I think it’s the best pocket camera around.

I have a G1X III that I carry most of the time. It's a great pocket camera if you have slightly larger pockets.
I also have a G1X and a G1X II with EVF. Both are really good cameras if you don't mind buying used.
My favorite slightly older Canon bridge camera is my G10. It's small, has 14.7 megapixel resolution and fits in most pockets.

I have a mirror-less Nikon 1 J5. Since you are looking for a 1" pocket-able camera that has interchangeable lenses and can shoot both RAW and jpg
Jbrustrum, I’m not familiar with the Nikon 1 J5 but it sounds like a great option. I’ll check it out.

I have the Panasonic DMC-ZS100. It fits in a jacket pocket and in the back pocket of my jeans, but not in my shirt. I am very happy with it. The only thing I wish were better is the flash, but most all the pocket types have a weak one.
Thank you PHRubin, exactly the kind of info I’m looking for.
