Small Hiking Camera (lemmy.world)

I'm wondering if there is a recommendation for a small camera to take hiking, or just for general convenience. I like to turn my phone off when I'm out so I can properly disconnect, plus I'm winding down my phone dependency in general.

Something to point and shoot would be nice, but I'm potentially interested in learning a bit about using some actual camera techniques.

It's going to depend on a few things:

  1. What you think you'll what to shoot
  2. Budget
  3. Size / weight requirements 4ish. Preferred brand or existing camera equipment

Personally I really like micro four thirds stuff for a mix of small but versatile. It's also great because if you're looking for bang for buck on a budget, older M43 cameras can be gotten used for really reasonable prices relatively.
