the last year or so i have made it my mission to minimize camera gear with the mission being to simplify my life as a videographer and photo hobbyist, as well as make things easier on the wallet. The camera I ended up with is the Fuji XS10, and one of my favorite things about it is that it works beautifully as a pocket wonder. Sure, when I’m using it for client video work it’s kitted out with a cage, top handle, mic, and 16-55 2.8, but when I get home and remove the body from the rig, slap on the 18mm f/2, and toss it in a jacket pocket (or more likely, my Hex Ranger Mini, which is no bigger than a fanny pack), it becomes a “bring everywhere” camera that I get great photo and video results from.

Fun video! I've found pockets to be quite useful for carrying a camera. Preferably for fairly short periods. In the film area I had a Ricoh GR 1 (first version). I used a Olympus TG4 for a while and now I have a Sony RX100 VII. Never found pants that would work well, my solution has always been outdoorsy jackets. Thicker fabrics makes the camera less obvious in the pocket and give slight protection against bumps. I often carry it in a ziplock (or similar) bag as my pockets often accumulate dust. The plastic bag also give some protection from moisture, useful even if the jacket (supposedly) is waterproof.

This vid is a must see for those of us who have wondered where to place a "real camera" which is sort of tiny when compared to a mirrorless and of course DSLR... Using the case hanging from our shoulder is out of question and placing it inside a large bag doesn't feel right either, so we need to find the right pocket and now we have the best options!

I also love pocketable cameras. Even my first one, back in the seventies, was pocketable: A Minox 35. Maybe the best camera in terms of pocketable ever built. It had a flap that allowed you to lower the lens into the camera, which also protected the camera from dust. For 35 mm film! Smaller than every digital "full frame" camera up to now. My most favourite photos of the last years I shot with a little Panasonic DC-TZ200 which I smuggled i a Scorpions concert. This camera is similar to a Sony RX100, it has an 1" sensor and a superzoom lens.

Out here in Oregon the lightweight raincoat is the goto, but I don't put a camera in a pocket, I just sling my OM-4 or Leica M240 underneath cross-ways, then just unzip, take a picture and zip back up. Having a sliding strap with the camera on the tripod socket helps in this regard. On the subject of pocket cameras, I still do take the old Sony DSC-TX30 with me a lot, it's scratched up, but it's waterproof and shock proof and just goes into whatever pocket I got and is pretty dang flat.

My pocket wonder (jacket pocket or when jackets are required cargo) is the Fujifilm XE+27, really works well for an always carry. A small fanny pack or sling is always an option too, but pocket carry is preferred. I have used X100V and did enjoy it but I prefer the flexibility of a lens swap as I do love the new 18mm 1.4, 33mm 1.4 or 90mm f2 sometimes to change my perspective up. :D

I enjoyed the concept of this video. When I got my gx85 I had the foolish assumption it would be pocketable just for its smaller sensor. Enter, frustration. I could only fit it in my overkill winter coat pockets. I could shoe horn it into a peacoat but struggled with the very real threat of watching it crash to the pavement, never to record an image again, every single time I took it out. Fashionable? I relegated myself to a hip bag for a lengthy period of time until I decided to just wear it. The temptation to succumb to gear acquisition syndrome and buy a GR has been strong ever since. Cheers, Mr. Brownstone.

Though it makes the set-up a bit more bulky, I prefer using my RX-100 VII with a Peak Design Capture Clip attached to my person. The downside is the base plate inhibits the battery door. I camera-fied my iphone with Moment lenses, a cold shoe for Rode Wireless Go, and custom camera apps, BUT the RX-100 VII is way more fun to use - for the same reasons I loved my Minox.

I've obsessed over 'pocketable' cameras for years. Bought and sold almost all options in the market, including GoPros and the RX0II. Now settled on the Ricoh GR series. The image quality, compactness, and lightweight trumps the 'flimsy' build quality (comparatively speaking, with the robustness standard being the Leica M with a 28mm summaron). It's the only one which has both strap attachment points on the short side. Attach a cool strap to these two points and you have a fashionable 'necklace' too. :-P

A very droll presentation that's been waiting for someone to dare take on! My Pocket wonder is a Panasonic/Lumix GX880 with the Lumix 14-42mm power zoom. Turn on the power and it's ready to go. Oh, and the canera is one of the smallest mincro 4/3 cameras ever made! Put it on a lanyard around my neck and tuck it into my jacket for hiking. Easy to turn on with gloves on when it's freezing cold. For a little extra reach, my tiny Lumix 45-175mm power zoom fits in my other pocket. The 2 lenses give a focal lenght equivalent of 28-350mm and weigh about a pound with the camera. And the photos are every bit as good as my G9 that sits at home!

Thanks for the video Hugh. Canon efm 22 f2 + canon M200 or M100 (m50 or m5 if you want evf) is fantastic quality. A shame that canon forgets about M system, if you combine size weight and price ef-m is unbeatable I had rx100v and broke twice, because no so important drop (no external marks) I love the concept and usually find myself considering a mark vi but I feel that they are not robust. Now I use a lot a fuji xf10: tiny, great sensor and horrible AF. When you know how to focus is great. It is like a tank it has marks of drops and works perfectly. I miss my rx100v lighting AF though ... I'm a fan of compact system. My ff a7c is always with one of the samyang tiny series, it's surprising how small and good quality samyang provides in a apc like size lens. For my the only con is that samyang colors are warmer than what ilike for sooc shooting

Hello Hugh, Being a pocket guy myself, first let me say thank you for the fashion tips! But on a much more serious note, my sister just bought a Sony - Cyber-Shot rx10 iv 20.1 photograph and video her grandchildren. And I thought to myself would a better choice have been a used Sony Alpha A7RIII and a Tameron 28-200 Lens for very close to the same price. Certainly the sensor is bigger and presumably better. But the Cyber-Shot has a 24-600 Zoom lens, so maybe for videos it is much more practical. And probably better for pocket carry. But despite the hundreds of KZfaq photography related videos I've watched I don't really know what may be the better choice? Do you have any thoughts? Thank you.

I know this particular episode is about pockets, and tangentially includes a few cameras, but this grouping coincides with where I decided I'm aiming for. Many years ago I dumped all my digital cams, flash gear, lenses, etc. in favour of a Sony RX10 (first model, that was what there was). Now I realise what the criteria is - I will not entertain cameras that have interchangeable lenses (yes ok, I kept my C330 and ETRSi and F801, but if I shoot film it'll probably be on my ZLR). This is liberating. I can push most of the offerings proffered at me off the table - if it has a lens mount, it doesn't count. The end result is basically similar to looking for pocket cameras, but, my RX10 is hardly pocketable, yet very compact and snug and light, so I group it similarly. Incidentally there aren't any new prime-lens cams that fit my requirement - I tend to strongly favour 50mm field of view equiv, most are too wide, my iPhone certainly is, so the only solution is to accept the soft and easy life of having a jolly superb Vario-Sonnar f2.8 zoom on my battered old RX10.

I have a very large and bulky winter jacket that I bought at Eddie Bauer. Nice and warm to about zero degrees. The outside pockets can accommodate a Leica M body (M9, M10) and a Noctilux 50mm .95. Put a water bottle in the opposite side for balance. However, this is not very practical in spring and summer months (and early fall). You can use a backpack as an alternate to pants pockets. An excellent backpack is the backpack the wife is using. This way you eliminate any bulk that you might have been thinking of carrying.

This cracked me up-it's like you're speaking an internal monologue out of my own head! My current solutions are: Q2 on a strap or for a big jacket pocket (like in your Barbour); Digital CL + 18mm pancake for my medium-sized jacket pockets; GR III for my trouser or shorts pockets, or for really small jacket pockets, like in a blazer. If I'm taking out the CL, I might put an adapted Voigtlander 35mm f/2.5 in a second pocket. I have a vague idea about getting a TL 18-56 to carry as the second lens with the CL, instead of the Voigtlander. Or of picking up a TL 23 to replace the 18mm. Yadda yada yada. It's not an easy problem to solve, but it's a fun one to think about!

A coat is nice in bad English weather, but what if the temperature outside warrants, demands a coatless situation? I wound up with a small man-purse, a Bellroy sling bag. Everything goes always in the same spot, I never forget it because my phone is in there too, and I bought a camera that fits that bag perfectly, a Fujifilm X100V, which goes in the main pocket area. And it's fashionable. I trust my very outspoken Dutch wife on that 😊. Oscar from The Netherlands, but in Spain as much as I can.

Hi Hugh, I sincerely believe that most people travelling with a DSLR or Mirrorless will soon tire of the lens swapping, camera bag being lugged around and guarded with one’s life. The Sony RX line delivered good to close to identical image quality compared to entry and even mid level Mirrorless cameras whilst being unobtrusive, light and easy to lug about. In fact given that smartphone photography covers most of general photography needs, the zoom of the RX complements a smartphone by being able to reach out via optical zoom to get this finer details in architecture or animals. As Smartphones launch with great emphasis on camera systems, small and portable is a market driver for photography, only a high end point and shoot can truly deliver on image quality and zoom, I believe SONY and others are leaving the market unserviced and money on the table.

My daypack elastic waterbottle pouches -- still within reach -- hold the Olympus 75 f1.8 and 75-300 f4.8-6.7. No camera bag, both hands free: 18-600mm equivalent range on me. But I'm still thinking of swapping it all for the RX1RII.

Interesting and useful video, because you go beyond the usual analysis of 'what pocket camera should I buy' to looking at how people should actually carry them. Your logic behind why people should buy a pocket camera instead of just using their smartphones is pretty sound, too - bigger sensors, more capable lenses, intuitive, easy-to-use controls, better image quality, and so on. In my case, all these points helped inform my decision to buy a Sony ZV-1. I personally find smartphones are just too fiddly for anything but the most casual kind of photography, and with video on even moderately bright days, you pretty much need an ND filter just to be able to keep the shutter speed constant. Another reason why I bought a ZV-1 was so that I could have a camera I could carry with me all the time on the odd occasions when I do go out, without the bulk, weight and complexity of my Sony a6600, which I will use for planned shoots or landscape photography, or serious videography work where I need a bit more resolution, a wider range of focal lengths, and more dynamic range. I plan to use the ZV-1 for some videography work (not vlogging) next year where the camera's range of focal lengths will work well, and I can run and gun with a lightweight tripod or a gimbal and a lightweight, easy to carry camera. I'm getting old, and my inclination to carry a lot of gear is diminishing each and every year.

Good luck at finding a new X100V in the next year. Love the look of it and I would have traded my Sony FF gear, especially at my age, to get down to one camera/lens. I wanted the a7c but Sony has discontinued production and the KEH price, extremely fair, is out of my range, at least right now.

When I want to travel light but still want a reasonable FL range and more than adequate IQ (and it's too hot to wear a parka of any description), I often stuff a Lumix GX85 with 12-32 mounted in one front cargo/hiking/climbing pant (long/zip-off/shorts) pocket and a 45-150 in the other. That gives me an EFL range of 24-64 and 90-300 (MFT), which is more than sufficient for most situations. When I really need to keep things minimal (such as when mountain biking, climbing, or skiing), I grab the Olympus TG-5. It only covers 25-100 EFL (1/2.3"), but it's submersible to 15m/50 ft (with underwater modes) and produces outstanding macros up to 7x optical with focus stacking. My one-handed-operation "dog-walking" camera is the Lumix FZ1000 (1" sensor EFL of 25-400). I use a Lumix G9 most of the time (including travel) and carry lenses covering 16-800 EFL (including macro) plus batteries, filters, flash/softbox, etc., all in a tiny 5kg/11-lb sling pack. I've produced gallery-worthy prints with all of these rigs. No need to burden oneself to make great images...

This was funny! I loved the black jacket...Barbours are great but they weigh a lot...my suggestion is to carry certain gear, like keys or a small(ish) camera around my neck, on something like an eyeglass chain. Why? So that it will always be close to hand, tucked under the flap of a jacket.

Unless you’re taking about a smartphone, there really is no good pocket camera situation. For me, the most compact carry is a Leica Q2 in a Billingham 72 bag. Very comfortable and both the bag and camera are weather proof.

Hugh... Another truly awesome video... ROFL... From an apparel standpoint one might consider Scottevest which has both jackets & vest with an insane amounts of pockets (e.g. 42 pocketed vest) and while not cheap one can easily manage camera, lens, iPad (or even Macbook Air) and a couple of cans of Arizonas to boot without drawing to much attention... A little reminiscent of seeing the circus as a child at Madison Square Garden with 20 clowns exiting the VW Bug... Thank you for the great content and outstanding presentation!!

In many places it's often too hot for any kind of jacket. So, tiny Crumpler bag across the shoulder or on the pants belt. Rangefinder-style mirrorless with any small lens. Then any other bag/rucsac/nothing is independent, as is your clothing or lack thereof.

Pockets IMO and interchangeable lens cameras are mutually exclusive. Reason: pocket lint. I carry my 11 year old Lumix ZS8 inside a sandwich zip lock bag, inside a belt mounted zippered case. Damn thing seems to like to get dirt on the sensor. Cleaning it is tedious; lots of small screws. Hence, the zip lock bag.

I find that I can get a whole A7RIII into my Carhartt jacket pocket, so that's probably not a useful metric. The original RX100 was a perfect fit with my phone in my front pocket. But the best pants camera I've found is an old Ricoh GRDIII. Is it old? Yes. Does it only shoot 10MP? Sure. Does it produce outstanding B&W jpegs at any iso and I only ever print up to A3? Yup.

For my private stuff I always carry a G5X MKII or RX100VII around. I wouldn’t call any camera pocketable above the size of the G5X MKII. The Sony is the little wonder, it is unbelievable what quality the little thing delivers. It’s like an OM-1 with a 12-100mm attached as the base ISO images match the base ISOs of mFT. It’s kinda crazy, when you think about how small this thing is.
