Very useful compact camera with pictures and video...
This camera is very nice. I use it mainly with small lenses. This gives me a small item that is always available for those more-than-phone-camera moments. The in camera photo/video software makes the 16mm, 16-50mm very good. At other times, the 50mm is just a super lens when I bring it along. I also have the Sigma 19&30 lenses for use by my grandchildren. Nothing wrong with those lenses, either.
My major complaint has to do with video time-limits. Unless you are using it in a very cool environment, the default camera will overheat after 2-4 minutes of shooting. I have always pushed the viewfinder away from the camera for use. One easy trick to boost that time is to remove the strong 'sticker' from the camera body, under the viewfinder. If you do that, there are these amazing ventilation holes that more-than-triple the recording durations that you get on video.

The LowePro PhotoSport Outdoor is a camera pack for photographers who also need a well-designed daypack for hiking and other outdoor use. If that sounds like you, the PhotoSport Outdoor may be a great choice, but as with any hybrid product, there are a few tradeoffs.
The Sony a7C II refreshes the compact full-frame with a 33MP sensor, the addition of a front control dial, a dedicated 'AI' processor, 10-bit 4K/60p video and more. It's a definite improvement, but it helps if you value its compact form.
Why is the Peak Design Everyday Backpack so widely used? A snazzy design? Exceptional utility? A combination of both? After testing one, it's clear why this bag deserves every accolade it's received.
The new Wacom One 12 pen display, now in its second generation, offers photographers an affordable option to the mouse or trackpad, making processing images easy and efficient by editing directly on the screen.
For photographers who need advanced photo editing options, Pixelmator Pro for macOS offers layer-based editing, machine learning-powered adjustment and selection tools, and features such as Denoise and Super Resolution. It's also affordable.
If you want a compact camera that produces great quality photos without the hassle of changing lenses, there are plenty of choices available for every budget. Read on to find out which portable enthusiast compacts are our favorites.
