Why do young people want compact cameras again?
Our take
In an era dominated by smartphones, young people are rediscovering the charm of compact cameras, drawn by their unique aesthetic and hands-on experience. The excitement of using a sturdy model like the Panasonic TS5 reflects a desire for authenticity and tactile engagement in photography. While modern phones often deliver superior convenience and quality, there's a longing for the distinct character that compact cameras offer, from vibrant flash shots to the thrill of manual settings.
I gave my university kid my old tough Panasonic TS5 and she is ecstatic. I should have kept my RX100-4, the younger one wants one too. The off looking P&S hard flash shots I see is what they’re after?
Edit: For those asking why not talk to my kids? I did ask them, a strong flash they said. I also explained as one who shot weddings, portraits etc with complete gear, their modern phones are more convenient and yield better results. I’m interested in other answers.
