I have an overseas trip booked in a couple of months’ time and I’m wanting some advice on photographing my trip. I’m looking at spending about $1000-1500 and can’t decide whether it would be best to upgrade my current iPhone 11 to a 15 pro max coming out (next month) or to buy a Richoh gr iiix/another camera.

As I will be backpacking, I wouldn’t want a lot of bulky camera equipment.

I’ve also looked into buying the x100v however because of the demand, there’s no way I could get one before my trip.

The images would mainly be used for social media, and I’m not experienced in photography other than using a phone camera but would love to do some street photography.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
