Are Compact Cameras Dead?

Rod discusses the viability of high end compact cameras such as the Canon G7x MK III and others. Consumer grade compact cameras died a decade ago when phone cameras started to get good. But Canon, Sony, and Panasonic continue to produce high quality cameras with excellent features and high quality sensors of 1" and MFT.

Thank you. I just bought a used canon g7x mark ii yesterday for my street walking videos. I tried it and it is awesome.

It's a solid little camera :)

I see more people adding lens attachments to smartphones; telephoto, anamorphic and wide. Then added are filters and of course the smartphone is mounted on a grip
More importantly even 1" sensor has more detail when exported to iPhone and pinch-to-zoom to compare

Judging by the prices of compact cameras on ebay they are not dead at all. They are actually hotter than ever. I have a 2 year old Canon compact and people are asking more than I payed for it new for a beat up used model.

Supply has been tight on new products in general and inflation has further pushed the cost of new higher. I am not surprised you can sell a used camera for more than you paid a few years ago for it new.

No
Yes photography is about the tactile experience
The Fujifilm cameras X100Vi and X100v have sold out for years
