How to decide in three steps
01
Set your budget
The three models span roughly $249 to $519. Decide your ceiling first — it narrows the field instantly.
02
Name your priority
Image quality points to the Pocket 3. Zoom and light weight favour the Pocket 2. Pure value favours the original.
03
Factor in accessories
A microphone, handle and card can add $100+. Leave room in the budget for the kit that unlocks the camera.
