Looking for a compact camera with a wide-angle lens (24mm?) for those bathroom pictures. LOL What do you use? Does anyone use the new iPhone?
 
iPhone has a very wide angle. Some of the android phones likewise. I use a DSLR with 18mm lens...not a real problem. P & S are generally no better than 24mm wide angle or you can clip on a after market lens to about any cell phone... even use an old cell phone for pictures only
 
Canon power shot, I use Iphone as a backp, I perfer loading from the memory card of the canon I don't know if it is the best digital but reasonable price works well enough has Wide angle lens
 
Kodak V705 from circa 2006 keeps on working, flash and all. :sneaky:
 
I’ve been using my iPhone 7 Plus and my iPad Pro to take photos for the past three years. The photo quality is very good. But I do miss taking photos with just a regular camera.
 
Gopro. Not the best for appraisals in general but can get two to three open spaces in one shot or a tight shot such as a small bathroom or even a half bath.

There are some newer GoPros and some knock off (much cheaper) that have screens. I saw one that was a mere $30 on Amazon...one-tenth of a GoPro price

Yeah it's about that time I get an upgrade. Was looking for a battery for my Hero4 and couldn't even find one. I saw a sweet knockoff called the "GhostPro". Just in time for the Halloween. Lol. Comes with a handle, LED light, infrared illuminator and night vision. Real Gopros really lack quality in dark houses.

You cannot remove the camera from the case in many of the older ones and the latch on mine is broken so I hold it together with a rubber band... no dunking this puppy.
