Good quality sport and travel camera in a rugged and compact box
3

I like to bring it with me during open air sport and credit card travels.

It's compact enough to fit in my jeans or jacket pocket or just hang in a little bag to my belt loop, it's tough and quality and versatility are far better than my phone. I don't need an underwater camera, but I like water and dust resistance.

The lens is fast and very wide on the wide end, quality is good and consistent and I can shoot raw. I bought the fisheye FCON-T01 too, it's great fun and quality is far better than my action cam.

With the adapter I can mount 40.5 mm filters, so I'm thinking to buy a polarizer to achieve very blue skies.
