There is a big array of lenses that can be mounted and used on DSLRs, from super wide angle to telephoto, depending on your needs. My husband uses long telephoto lenses such as the Nikon 300mm f/4.0 for his bird photography, while I primarily shoot with portrait lenses such as the Nikon 50mm f/1.4. On point and shoots, you are limited to the "optical zoom" of the camera lens. DSLR lenses are also much better optically compared to lenses in point and shoot cameras. Bottom Line: The Canon PowerShot G9 X Mark II camera is more responsive than its predecessor, and squeezes a big 1-inch sensor into a compact frame. As you might expect, the LX10 connects to your phone via built-in Wi-Fi. The setup process is straightforward. After you download the free Panasonic Image App (ios and Android), pressing the Wi-Fi function button on the camera will bring up a prompt for you to connect your phone to the camera's network. By default, the password requirement is disabled. For security you can enable it in the camera menu, but don't worry, you won't have to manually type it in: You can have the camera display a QR code that the phone app recognizes so that you can make the connection. It's been a little over 2 years, but definitely under 3:). Our favorite 1-inch camera is still the Sony RX100 III, an older model which still delivers excellent image quality. Its 24-70mm f/ zoom lens excels in dim conditions and can be found for as little as $650 (about $100 below its retail price) if you catch it on sale. But it doesn't support 4K or offer a touch screen. Consider the RX100 VA (priced around $1,000) if those are important. Due to the smaller size of the camera sensor, point and shoots are no match to DSLRs when it comes to image quality, even with more Megapixels. *At the time of publishing, the price was $698. Unwilling to haul a heavy SLR or mirrorless camera? If you want a capable compact camera you can slip into your pocket, these are the top models we've tested. In Venezuela, Cryptocurrency Is an Oppressor and a Lifeline. If you like shooting close-ups, you'll appreciate that the LX10 can focus as close as 3 cm (left), offering greater magnification than is possible with the Sony RX100 III (right). Sony's

2 possible with the Sony RX100 III (right). Sony's most expensive RX100, the VI, is a new addition to our top ten. It uses the same image sensor and processor as the VA, but has a very different lens. It's the best pocket-friendly, long-zoom camera we've seen, with a mm f/ zoom which is quite sharp. Bottom Line: The Panasonic Lumix DC-ZS200 marries a long zoom lens to a premium 1-inch image sensor. It's a very good pocket camera, but we wish the screen offered tilt. Read Review. The Sony RX100 III has a clever viewfinder that adds no bulk, and it offers a bit more battery life than our top pick. All point and shoot cameras come with fixed lenses. You don't sweat in trying to change lenses. Bottom Line: The Canon PowerShot SX530 HS is a fairly compact superzoom camera with a 50x zoom lens, but it can be slow to focus when zoomed in all the way. Pros: Wide aperture zoom lens. 1-inch image sensor. Tilting touchscreen display. Quick autofocus. Raw image capture support. Wi-Fi with NFC. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX10 is easy to use and very fast to focus, and it offers touchscreen control and shoots 4K video. Although many of its rivals can match it in one or more of those respects, the LX10 offers the most compelling combination of these features at a lower launch price than the competition. But what if you want picture quality that's better than a smartphone? Or the versatility of a long optical zoom lens? You can still get a cheap compact camera, but we've been underwhelmed by models in the sub-$200 price range. They tend to use CCD image sensors, which don't do well in low light and have limited video capabilities. (If you're set on an inexpensive compact, the Canon PowerShot Elph 190 IS is a good way to go, as long as you understand its limitations.). DSLR cameras are more expensive than point and shoot cameras. Even a used, entry-level DSLR is probably going to cost more than an advanced point and shoot. But the expense does not stop with the camera good lenses typically cost more than the camera itself and you will have to cash out on other accessories (larger camera bags, filters, memory cards, etc). To get started, an entry-level camera with a kit lens will cost you anywhere between $ That's just the initial cost. Overtime, you might spend three times as much on accessories alone. Compared with similarly priced competitors, the Panasonic LX10 is exceptionally fast to focus in both bright and dim lighting. It also has a sharp lens that lets in a lot of light plus a responsive and intuitive touchscreen interface that helps bridge the gap for smartphone photographers, and it can shoot 4K video. While it lacks one standout, killer feature many of its rivals can match one or more of its specifications the LX10 offers the most compelling combination of features at a lower launch price than we've ever seen, making it the best value of any pocket-sized camera under $1,000. However, it doesn't have a viewfinder, a feature that can come in handy for shooting in bright light or if you prefer extra stability. The LX10 is easy and quick to operate, largely because of its touchscreen interface, something conspicuously absent from every RX100 model. The customizable Quick Menu allows you to put a collection of your most commonly used parameters, such as image quality, ISO, and AF mode, in an on-screen

3 quality, ISO, and AF mode, in an on-screen menu for quick adjustment. And a virtual pull-out tab located along the right edge of the screen puts no fewer than eight custom function buttons at your fingertips. Thanks to these features combined with two lens rings, a thumb dial, and several buttons on the rear of the camera you'll rarely need to burrow into the camera's menu to change settings. Forget about using a point and shoot in challenging weather conditions. While point and shoot cameras are only suited for normal use, higher-end DSLRs can withstand dust, moisture, rain and snow and severely cold weather. My husband often shoots landscapes in subzero temperatures with his DSLR and he has never had a problem with it. All of the cameras featured here include Wi-Fi, so you will be able to share photos while on the move. It's not quite as convenient as a smartphone you'll need to wireless transfer any photos you wish to post to Instagram to your phone but you'll still be able to let the world know you're relaxing on a beach without having to offload photos to a computer first. I am not going to ask if you've reached the limit of your point and shoot camera, because most likely, you haven't. Personally, I used to shoot everything in auto mode, trusting the camera to do all the work for me. I didn't think about the settings or functions and to be honest, I don't even remember changing any camera settings, because I didn't care. If a picture didn't come out right, I would always blame the camera, thinking that only a DSLR would produce a better image. Now that I know how to use a DSLR, every once in a while when I get a hold of a point and shoot, I realize that it was me who didn't know how to take pictures, not the camera. But owning a DSLR pushed me to learn photography and get to know the basics such as ISO, aperture and shutter speed. I didn't think about any of those before, because they were all pre-determined for me by my simple and easy to use point and shoot. So, keeping in mind all your needs, ask yourself these simple questions to find out if you really need a DSLR: *At the time of publishing, the price was $700. Cameras and Lenses " DSLR vs Point and Shoot Camera. Camera Labs's Gordon Laing writes that the LX10 delivers "highly detailed images in decent light and a comfortable step-up in low-light quality over a smartphone, pocket super-zoom or budget point-and-shoot." He found the optical image stabilization (OIS) to work as advertised during testing: "With OIS off, I needed a shutter of 1/80 to confidently handhold the shot, but with OIS enabled, I could handhold reliably down to 1/10 and in some cases 1/5, corresponding to three to four stops of compensation.". Bottom Line: The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 III compact camera earns Editors' Choice accolades because of its image quality and excellent EVF, even despite its high price. Cons: Very expensive. Short zoom range. Lacks hot shoe. External charger not included. Pros: Excellent high ISO performance. Big 1-inch image sensor. Sharp, wide aperture lens. 10fps burst shooting. Customizable controls.

Excellent price for 1in sensor camera Tilting LCD No proper grip f/4.9 maximum aperture at 100mm While Sony's original RX100 is still going strong, this mark II update has now fallen in price to similar level at some retailers, making it the better buy. While it sticks to the same general idea of a 1in sensor and bags of technology inside a sturdy body, it adds a tilting screen to make awkward compositions easier, as well as a back-illuminated sensor for more efficient light capture. Other changes over the mark I that make it more appealing include a hotshoe and Wi-Fi with NFC.

5 Canon G7X Mark II above at mm. In addition, Panasonic compacts aren't quite as intuitive or ergonomically pleasing as other top choices on this list.

Point and Shoot Cameras Best Point and Shoot Digital Camera: Buyers Guide & Expert Reviews. 10 Best Point and Shoot Cameras in Why should you buy this: mm zoom, fast performance. For most outdoor activities, we hesitate to recommend "tough" or "rugged" cameras unless you really need the extra protection. You pay a lot for a small image sensor and meager components, with a big chunk of the money going to the waterproof housing that protects it all. Having said that, the new Olympus TG-5 is a fun camera and the best in its class: it's waterproof down to 50 feet, dustproof, freezeproof, and has a respectable maximum aperture of f/2 for low light and underwater photos. We also like the mm zoom range, which goes wider than other tough cameras from brands like Canon and Nikon that are 28mm at the wide end. Why is the SX530 HS not higher on our list? The small image sensor is limiting for those who plan on making prints or shooting in tough conditions. The truth is that you have to a pay a whole lot more for a superzoom with a large sensor (see the Panasonic FZ1000 and Sony RX10 III above).
