Nothing happens when pushing power button.  Yes I’ve tried another battery.  This is a documentation camera I carry in my pack.

Recommend a new pocket camera?

Big camera is a d7200.

I've got a D5300 and am about to go to a FF D610 probably, if not a D7200. My thing is, if I need a pocket camera, it damn near impossible to beat my Galaxy s9. What phone you got?

Phone is a 5s and I do not take it on search missions.

I was attempting to document a coastguard hoist in a remote mountainous area.

6800 had some optical zoom which has been nice.

Thank you

My wife has a Sony RX100-IV. Works well and captures raw files, too.

I thought about getting one of those compact Sony RX100-4, but they cost $1,200, which I consider a bit steep. I would love to get a compact camera to use when I don't feel like lugging around my Nikon D7500.

OT/BTW: No more of those compact cameras  with the self-retracting/extending lens for me. I had a Canon S110 and a Panasonic ZS50, both died because the lens would no longer extend/retract.  Both companies claim that I abused the cameras, but I didn't abused them, I just used a LOT, and they wanted 2/3-3/4 the price of a new camera to repair, so now I have ~$1,200 worth of paper weights. I am down on this type of cameras.

I have a Sony RX10-3 which also has a self-retracting/extending lens, but so far so good, I've had zero problems so far, I probably have ~30K clicks on the shutter.

BuyDig has a whole bunch of the Nikon 1 cameras and some coolpix on refurb sale currently.

I just spoke with my brother.  He’s sending up a s9500 for me to use.

I was looking at a canon sx620 and likely will get one of those if the s9500 has issues.
