Small decent camera for travel and selfies (lemmy.world)

Hi guys! I'd like to consider a small portable camera to carry around whenever traveling, that takes about as little space and weight as possible. The idea is replacing the mobile phone on a stick, as a lot can go wrong when attempting a silly picture near a lake or waterfall (you get the idea).

So I guess no additional lenses or similar, just a portable camera that takes good pictures. As it might be also for my gf's use, one of the features I'd like it to have probably would be a reversible screen so it can be used to take selfies. And perhaps another one might be an optical zoom, but this might not be mandatory. I am lucky to be in a country where a lot of the models might be available, and even second hand, but I'd need some direction about what would be recommended.

Thanks!

Such sweet cameras 🤌

They should start making them again, just with an updated sensor and AF tracking.
