Compact cameras


explained


Whether you want a quality pocket-sized compact that’ll produce better pictures than your smartphone when you’re out and about, or a more advanced model that’ll deliver similar features and control to a digital SLR, there’s a compact camera out there for you.


Shape


and size Compact cameras vary in size and shape, from pocket-sized models to larger cameras with more digital SLR-like handling and control


Connectivity Many compacts now feature Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing you to quickly and easily share your images while on the move


Image Optical


zoom lens Most compacts offer a zoom lens which allows the focal length to be changed to suit a range of subjects, from landscapes to wildlife. This varies from camera to camera, and can affect the overall size of the camera


Stabilisation Optical and sensor- based stabilisation are best for compensating for camera shake, as an ISO-based mode can affect image quality


Display Touchscreen functionality similar to smartphones is becoming more widespread, providing quicker and easier controls
