The Best Small Cameras

Best Your Smartphone with these Feature-Rich Compact Cameras

Way Beyond Your Smartphone

Your smartphone is great for taking the occasional selfie or

capturing quick Instagrams, but even the best

smartphone lacks the functionality of a good point-and-

shoot or interchangeable lens camera.

The best small cameras run circles around smartphones in

terms of functionality, especially when it comes to optical

zoom and low light performance. Here are some of our

favorites.

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-RX100

The Sony Cyber-Shot is one of the best point-and-shoots

on the market today. With the

ability to switch between Manual,

Aperture Priority and Shutter

Priority modes, shoot RAW files

and open the aperture up to f/1.8,

the Cyper-Shot offers the

functionality of an SLR in the

body of a point-and-shoot.

Fujifilm X100S Digital Camera

Another wildly popular, high-functioning, compact digi-cam,

the Fujifilm X100S offers the ability

to capture dizzyingly high-

resolution images, shoot video

in full HD, and shoot amazingly

clear photos, even in low light.

This is a pro’s point-and-shoot

if there ever was one.

Canon PowerShot G16

A WiFi enabled point and shoot with 12.1 megapixels and

5x optical zoom, the PowerShot G16

practically demands that you slip it

into your bag – no matter where

you’re going.

While it is slightly oversized for a

point-and-shoot, the Canon’s power

and versatility make it a “win.”

Sony Alpha AR7 ILC

Not all of our favorite small cameras are point-and-shoots.

Take the Alpha AR7, for example. Sony’s best-in-class

interchangeable lens camera

has a full-frame sensor, a tiltable

LCD screen and shoots 36.4

megapixel images, all in a very

tiny package.

Compatible with a variety of lenses,

the Alpha AR7 enables pros and novices alike to expand

their creative horizons.
