Re: Best way to use an android hiking camera?

I have a FF camera but used a phone for when i'm out with my MTB or hiking and not willing to carry the ILC.

But in the end fiddling with my smartphone that is also my lifeline if anything goes wrong (i take many pictures so dropping it or draining the battery could be a problem) and only delivers mediocre results compared to the FF system made me look for the most capable small P&S camera.

I used to have a RX100 but find my GRii to be alot more capable (IQ wise) and easier to handle. A spare battery is tiny and weighs nothing.

It fits in my camelbak hipbelt pocket unlike some of the bigger 6.5" smartphones and is ready to shoot even when im still on my bike, which is really great. Impossible to do with a smartphone, since i wear MTB gloves.
