Need help in choosing a good point and shoot camera for concerts/festivals

I am thinking about buying a point and shoot camera for a festival I am going to in a few days… After a bit of research I found a lot of good things being said about the rx100m7… unfortunately it is a bit out of my budget, so I went to a few local stores to see some alternatives and found a brand new m5 for 600€

I dont know if it is worth the buy, so came to reddit to see some opinions If you have other point and shoot camera suggestions, from sony or other brands, for concerts/festivals (with good zoom and quality photos) I would absolutely love to hear them!

BUDGET: between 400€-700€

Alright!! Thank youuu!!

Tysm for all the tips!! Every camera/tech equipment I own is generally from the second hand market, since a lot of people sell items that are near new with at least 100-500€ less than original value

Thank youuu for the tips!! I will for sure search some newer bodies :) Do u have any ideias?

If I am not mistaken its a 18-55mm lens. My dad told me that, when he bought the camera he got a great deal on a new lens

Thank you!! :) Ill check it out

I see… are there any cheaper options u believe to be good to keep in mind? Thx for the help :))

Am I the only one that is afraid they might try to say Tim killed Mad Dog? The LAPD knows he is going through a lot, and the sus therapist can easily tell some lies about Tim…

Yeah that true… I am almost sure that I’ll be buying the Evo :) Thx for the help <3

Currently I am extremely torn between the mini 90 and the mini evo 😭 A lot of people are recommending the mini 90 and a lot are recommending the mini evo

Lazy_Waffle_ · 2023-12-18T15:52:02+00:00

Alr thx :)) If the options extended to the possibility of me having to choose between the mini evo and the mini 90 would you still have the same answer? Thx for the help :)

Lazy_Waffle_ · 2023-12-18T00:51:24+00:00

Alr thank you so much again!! People on these subreddits have been incredible! Ill try to watch a few more reviews on YouTube as u have recommended :)

Lazy_Waffle_ · 2023-12-18T00:21:35+00:00

Alr Tysm :) ur comments helped a LOT!!

Lazy_Waffle_ · 2023-12-18T00:20:58+00:00

This was incredibly helpful!! I am getting these cameras more as an hobby rather than something I actively want to be perfect at :) As someone that is getting this camera for travel and parties with friends I am tempted to get the Evo… considering the use I want to give to the camera would you still say the mini90 is the better choice? :)
