OK so everyone thinks that with cameras the bigger is the better, if you\u2019re seen parading around with a camera that fits in your pocket, you\u2019re considered nothing more than an amateur with no photography skills.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, sorry to disappoint you but its not strictly true. The large SLR cameras of yesteryear taking snaps of Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell are amazing and will always be the photographers dream, but conventionally they\u2019re not as practical as the compact ones of today. Megapixels, annoyingly the things that you can get off an iPhone 12 are actually getting closer to the professional photographers cameras or better.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is where we dispel the myth. If you are a photographer with a means to make a living then you have to buy a larger more generous SLR or dSLR camera. If you\u2019re the average guy like me this means nothing than a headache if inconvenient settings that you\u2019ll never understand.\u00a0 Plus the results are the same. If you\u2019re only using the basic features. So <\/span>now to take a look at the best digital compact cameras on the high street.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Samsung Galaxy Camera 2<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Great nifty camera for Android users. Good combination of decent specs and it has a responsive touchscreen and a 21x optical zoom. Looks good too and is slightly lighter although bigger than the Galaxy 1. Except this bad boy can hold 400 pictures in one outing and its surprisingly easy to use with hardly any additional buttons.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Olympus TG-850 Tiltable compact<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A rugged compact camera featuring a new 21-105mm 5x optical zoom lens, and the new star feature of a tiltable LCD screen.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It wouldn’t be a rugged camera and have \u201ctough\u201d emblazoned down the side without being shockproof to 2.1 metres, waterproof to 10 metros, crushproof to 100kg and can even work in temperatures as low as -10 degrees.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sony RX100 III<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sony has launched the updated RX100 with a pop-up electronic viewfinder while making the camera only about 2.5mm wider and 9 grams heavier than its predecessor.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sony has also improved the tilting bracket that holds the 3-inch LCD so that the screen can be tilted up through 180 degrees, making it useful for shooting selfies. It features the new Bionz X processing engine, which brings Sony’s diffraction reducing technology and area-specific noise reduction for improved image quality<\/span>. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
