Choosing a Camera
Everyday and entry-level: Small digital cameras with automatic modes, simple controls and built-in flash are convenient for everyday photography and first-time users. Kodak PIXPRO and Canon PowerShot ranges include affordable point and shoot options.
Travel and pocket cameras: Look for a balance of portability, sensor size and optical zoom. Sony offers pocket-sized enthusiast models, while Panasonic Lumix travel zoom cameras provide more reach for distant subjects without moving to a larger camera.
Premium: Larger APS-C and full-frame sensors, high-quality fixed lenses and more direct controls provide greater image quality and creative control. Premium ranges include Fujifilm X100, Ricoh GR and Leica compacts.
Long zoom: Some compact models combine a small body with a versatile optical zoom. For significantly longer focal lengths and larger zoom ranges, browse our Bridge Cameras range.
A used camera is also worth considering as a higher-spec used model often beats a new entry-level one on value.
