Deacon: Have you thought about carrying your old cell phone? Or buying a used phone? Even without a SIM card, the cameras on phones still work. You can transfer the photos via Bluetooth or WiFi, or by plugging the phone into your computer.
You can pick up a very nice used phone (especially Android phones) for very little money. Do that, and you’ll get the benefits of computational photography (using the power of the phone’s processor to create better photos) at a low cost and in a very slim package. Other pluses: -Huge screen to compose shots -Long battery life (with no SIM, you’re not running the phone’s cellular radio, after all) -Will still run apps to edit the photos on the phone if you like Just a thought.
