I got recently the ZS-100 for precisely the same reasons - I have an Olympus EM-1 Mk2 AND a Canon R but wanted a light "pocketable" camera. It was on sale for under $400 and it's an amazing camera!

I too am a fan of the sony rx 100 I started with the m3 and just bought the m7 with the 24-200 zoom it also has very fast focus and can shoot action shots at 20 frames per second with great focus tracking. I too bought it to avoid taking the big camera and multiple lenses on trips. This camera can shoot raw and full manual but also has can be put in auto or any of the other shooting modes PASM. It has a !" 20 meg sensor and takes an excellent photo. I have some landscape shots I've enlarged to 16 x 24 and printed on metal and they are beautiful.. It is however, not cheap to buy.

That sum the RX100 VII up nicely.

Panasonic Lumix LX100, pocketable, Leica lens, moderate zoom, long battery life and relatively inexpensive.

I agree with Wingpilot. I have the D7000 and D810 for my main cameras. My P&S was an 11 year old Canon. Nice camera, but performance not adequate any longer. After lots of reviewing, I purchased the Sony RX100 VII and love it. Awesome capabilities, but you do need to read the downloadable manual by Sony and strongly recommend the manual by Friedman (available on Amazon). I simply wanted the best IMHO of the current offerings without price being an issue.
Enjoy!

I know people like the Sonys, but I wouldn't sleep on Panasonic. The make great cameras at a much better price point than Sony.
While Sony's RX100 is a great camera (though some complain about the menu system), Panasonic's DMC-ZS100 is much less expensive. For greater zoom range and still less expensive is the DC-ZS200. For low light but less zoom there is the DMC-LX10.

Yabut, how am I to stuff one of those lovely Lumix cameras in the front pocket of m'Levi's?

I have the Sony RX100VI. Great camera. I really enjoy it and take it everywhere. Not much to add over previous comments

(coat-pocket cameras don't work so well when the weather warms up)The RX100xx series will snugly fit into a shirt pocket. Otherwise, I have a nice leather belt carrying pouch for it.

Aren’t all digital cameras pretty much point and shooters now?
I’d like to think that the point and shooters are pretty much the photographers.

Hi Greg,
I've had a camera depart from my shirt pocket into a creek (it survived), so I'm a bit reluctant to carry one there unless it's buttoned in securely. However, I do like to be able to stuff a camera into the front pocket of my trousers, including jeans...especially in warmer weather. The RX100III will fit a fairly "relaxed jeans" pocket, but getting it out of that pocket in a hurry is not quite as easy as the 'goesinta'.
Once a camera choice is too large for a pant pocket, it opens all sorts of options (depending upon the size of the pocket, of course) ~ even to the possibility of a Sony a6xxx with a small lens mounted, an old Canon G10, the LX100, etc.

I'm a hobbyist who has spent a lot of money getting to what suits me best; I have also lost a lot of money getting to what suits me best. When I realized that I did not like changing lenses, I sold my Sony a6000 with the few great lenses I had acquired. Following advice that I took from this site, I opted for the Sony RX100 vi. LOVE that camera! But I wanted more zoom, and with an interest in shooting the moon, I purchased the Nikon P1000. I got great views and shots of the moon, but I was not always happy with the quality of much of my other shooting. Enter the Sony RX10 iv, another camera that came to my attention on this site — truly a "honey." Another trade-in (bye-bye Nikon) and more $ loss, but I now have a Sony pair that does all I need to do and that doesn't leave me looking for something better. Feels good to feel that I have finally "arrived."
