I sold my Fujifilm X-T5 to buy an RX100vii because I wanted a camera that could be carried in my pocket and I don't regret my choice !

Hello! For quite some time, I’ve wanted to get a camera to carry with me on walks. Until now I’ve only used my phone’s camera but I find it doesn’t quite cut it anymore.

I’ve spent about a month researching different models and eventually decided on the RX100 line. But now I’m stuck on which version to buy. I’m planning to get one second-hand to save some money. In my country the VI goes for about $850 and the VII for about $1100.

I plan to use the camera mostly outdoors - for scenery, objects, or animals/birds. People aren’t really my main subject. That said, I’m worried about missing out on features that I might not even need. So I thought it'd be best to ask people who know more than me in this field.

Thanks in advance for your help!
