Panasonic Lumix G7 . . .

Or you can buy my 'Carp Cult' Canon G6 from me if you like!

I bought a Sony HX90 last year for this reason and so far I have been very happy with it

Canon M50. I use one when I am not session fishing and using my 6DmkII. Great little camera - I have the Canon 32mm M series prime on it. Image quality is stunning. Also, it has Bluetooth, so perfect for self takes and no need to use an ancient intervalometer As back -up, I got a manfroto smart phone clamp - my iPhone 12 Pro has three very decent lenses on it and whilst I still prefer a proper camera, blimey, this latest iPhone is damn good in that department.

I would second the sony alpha series, I use a a6100, pretty compact, reasonably priced lenses (for a prime 50mm atleast) and great photos.

Added bonus is that you can bluetooth/wifi activate the shutter and use your phone as an intervalometer via the app.

I use a Canon M50. Small, light and has lots of great features to help with self takes, like bluetooth to connect with the remote. I did use the standard kit lens, but have now got the 32mm prime they do for it. I can't believe how good the images are!

Looking for a new self take camera the Canon powershot a650 gets good reviews, also very cheap second hand ones about. Are they still good or are more recent versions in the powershot range better ?

Yes sure but the total price on that package must be £800 +

I have had all of that range, 620, 630, 640 and 650.
They all do whats needed. I now only have a 630. There was no appreciable difference in pic quality but the 650 was a bit more bulky and also a bit heavier on the rechargeable batteries.
I mostly use my phone but will bother to get the camera out for something decent.
I still an air bulb release (camera bracket and bankstick adaptor) for the level of control, and without the need to be firing off automated shots and waking up the lake with flashes.

Ah didn't read the 'reasonable' bit, apologies.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
