That's an experiment that has failed several times because few phone users care about the potential IQ benefits, and few compact camera enthusiasts relish using a phone as the interface.

Compact cameras also have features like eye-level viewfinders, articulating LCDs, bounceable Xenon flashes, real physical controls, and things as basic as built-in tripod sockets and sensible ...

Check out episodes of the old Man With A Camera series: Haven't watched them all, but I assume he was generally on the side of the law.

My personal insight with a V500 is that I can get great results with large negatives laid directly on the glass, dry, and with no backing glass other than the scanner lid. This works so well that ...

There's at least one near me that must qualify: a small post office (USPS postal center) in one of the ordinary store fronts of a strip mall. I doubt that the USPS owns the entire building that ...

Wallow ? Something wrong with saying they will continue ? Or by those who are quite aware of the situation but don't let it dictate their behavior.

Sure, as a crop option:

All pretty good, but the last shows a visible 'halo' around the bird - a bit too much processing there.

So 'the future has ended'. Interesting. Wait - you just said the compact camera future has ended, but now you say it will persist as a niche - like film (and also instant cameras). I'll agree with that

It was a vernacular expression to convey the idea that yes, I've done a great deal of personal experimentation with this issue, and have found setting ISO manually to be the solution I like. Also, ...

I wonder why you said that if it's something you have no plans to actually do. I assume you mean a shutter speed higher than 1/200s. 1/200s should be fine there because shadow (forest, etc.) implie ...

Well, I'm glad you've gotten some improvement ... but I don't think any of that would help with the issues I've experienced over the years using auto ISO plus autoflash with my own Sonys. My ...

The Sony DSC-D700 (1998) and DSC-D770 (1999) have built-in intervalometers. You can pick up those cameras cheap on eBay.

Might just have to wait a while longer. So would I ... and if any company is going to keep supporting compact camera enthusiasts with products like the RX100 series, it will probably be Sony.

I believe the OP is talking about a digital display of the (approximate) focus distance. Those do come and go when the focus is changed. The ability of many lenses to be racked past true infinity ...

If the discussion is about auto ISO in combination with TTL autoflash , Sony cameras have a pretty long history of generating some less than ideal results that way. (Maybe other brands as well, but ...

I'll just add that I've scanned prints for years with a V500. You'll get perfectly good results from that model using Epson's software if you can save money over the V550 or V600.
