15 best digital cameras

Convenient and practical camera for daily use. It is presented in several colors: gray, black and red. This is the case when a quality camera can be selected by color. The highlight of the camera is in its automatic mode. It is designed in such a way as to respond to 32 varieties of different factors and adjust the settings for them. This is useful for beginner photographers who have no idea what to adjust and where to click. It does not require any additional effort to use it. An ideal model for those who do not like to suffer with settings and people who are not prone to technology.

A good 21.1 megapixel matrix is ​​built in. And if in the previous small camera the 20x magnification surprises, then in this device the optical zoom is 25x. To compensate for not the highest technical characteristics, a stabilizer is installed in the model. It will help improve the quality and prevent blurring of the photo. Focal length 25 - 623 mm. The camera is suitable for any shooting - landscapes, architectures, people and so on. The practical auto mode makes it easier to use macro photography. It comes out more lively and high-quality than on similar devices. The camera has built-in NFC and WLAN modules. Therefore, it will no longer be necessary to use wires.

The simplest and most successful option for those who like to take a lot of pictures, but at the same time do not find fault with the quality of the pictures. The camera is compact and small: it weighs only 122 grams and has dimensions of 93x52x23 mm. So it's easy to put it in your pocket and forget it until you need it. A 20.5 megapixel matrix allows you to take pictures with a resolution of up to 5152x3864. Aperture F3.3 - F6.3: This is a rather weak result, but given the cost of the camera, this can be forgiven. Focal length: 25 - 200 mm, which is quite enough for a budget segment digital camera.

There is a 4x digital zoom and an 8x optical zoom, which is quite nice considering the cost and compactness of the camera. There is an optical stabilizer that can correct the effects of shaky hands in photos or videos. The camera didn't get a lot of manual tweaks.You can only choose the white balance, and then from the preset options. Therefore, the camera is worth buying for those who do not like to mess with the settings. The pictures are quite clear and of high quality, but only in good (preferably natural) lighting. If you shoot in the dark, then nothing good will come of it.

A versatile model for those who shoot for their own pleasure. It will not be easy for him to compete with more expensive options and SLR cameras. But for its low price, you get everything a beginner photographer needs. Easy operation, high image quality and compact size. The B500 is a true friend that will easily fit into a bag, backpack and some pockets if you have them: the camera measures 11.4x7.8x9.5 cm and weighs only 542 grams. The camera is powered by AA batteries. Therefore, it will become indispensable when traveling - because it does not require an outlet to recharge the battery. Just take the right amount of batteries with you.

In terms of technical capabilities, the model is a confident middling. The 16-megapixel matrix is ​​complemented by a high-quality F3 - F6.5 aperture and a lens with low dispersion lenses and 12 optical elements. The shooting speed is 7.4 photos per second. Even not all more serious cameras can do this. Focus range - 22.50 - 900 mm. Equipped with 40x digital zoom. With a camera, you can safely go on a photo hunt for birds. Or take high-quality pictures from a distance. Pay attention to modes.There are not many of them, but it is better to practice before shooting in order to determine the most profitable and high-quality option. Through a special application, it is easy to synchronize with a smartphone. The camera supports Bluetooth and Wi-Fi technologies.

A modern digital camera that can please with an electronic viewfinder and a 60x zoom. With the latter, the device usually becomes very heavy, but the Panasonic DC-FZ82 is not the case. The Japanese provided their creation with a plastic case, so the camera turned out to be quite light. At the same time, it has very decent optics - at maximum zoom, its aperture opens up to a quite decent value of f / 5.9. And it also has an optical image stabilizer, thanks to which you can not be afraid to make the shutter speed longer than usual.Other features of this model include the presence of a Wi-Fi module and a continuous shooting mode, in which 10 frames are created every second.

If you read the reviews, it becomes clear that this is not a perfect camera. People complain about the display, which is fixed here, which makes it uncomfortable to shoot from non-standard angles. And a 1/2.3-inch sensor is not what you expect from a camera for the money. Its resolution is 18.1 megapixels - the manufacturer deliberately did not go too far so that shooting at high ISO values ​​\u200b\u200bis possible. As for the main feature of the Panasonic DC-FZ82, it is video recording in 4K resolution, albeit with a frequency of no more than 30 frames / s. Importantly, a detailed picture is accompanied by excellent stereo sound - the device received far from the worst microphones.

A camera for those who have already “grown up” from standard soap dishes, but are not yet ready to pay for the quality of premium SLR or digital cameras. The model looks quite solid, but at the same time compact and light. The camera weighs only 206 grams, size - 98x58x31 mm. So it's easy to carry it anywhere. The matrix received 20.9 megapixels, the size is one inch. Allows you to create photos with resolution up to 5472x3648. There is a digital 4x zoom and an optical 3x zoom, which is pretty good. The aperture is not the best - the aperture ratio was only F2-F4.9. The focal length cannot boast of diversity: only 28-84 mm.So this is a narrow focus camera, and they will not be able to shoot both landscapes and portraits at once, it is best suited for portrait photography.

Settings can be either carried out manually or selected from a list or trusted by automation. In this regard, the camera is universal: it is suitable both for those who have never even held a camera in their hands before, and for those who are learning to work with the settings. The lens has built-in optical stabilizer, which works perfectly. The camera is able to take pictures in RAW format, which allows them to be processed later with higher quality. There are Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules.

The camera represents the best ratio of size and functionality. The durable magnesium case immediately captivates with reliability. The digital camera is compact, the lens is almost completely hidden in the body, but at the same time Sony has decent functionality. A practical range of focal lengths from 28 to 100 millimeters is suitable for shooting in a cramped apartment and on a spacious street. At short focal lengths, the lens demonstrates excellent aperture ratio (1.8), it is comfortable to work with it in low light conditions, but at dusk the “glass” is a bit dark for distant objects.

The ISO value remains operational up to 1600, autofocus from 25 points quickly grabs the right objects. People who are used to processing photos will be pleased with the RAW format. A feature of the compact camera is the built-in rotary flash: to avoid overexposure and harsh shadows, aim it at the ceiling.Of the other "chips" it is worth noting a swivel screen, a hot shoe, NFC modules and Wi-Fi. For compact, pocket-sized digital cameras, the Cyber-shot DSC-RX 100 II captures great shots that will take you to the top of the charts

Of course, this camera is a little more than pocket options. You can't pack it that easily. But there are more opportunities for shooting. The camera is designed for more advanced users: this is a model where you can and should configure everything manually, and not every new user can handle it. Although beginners will also be able to find something for themselves in it. Separate elements of the camera protrude noticeably above the body. This is not very convenient when carrying in a bag, but it will help during shooting. Due to the display, which rotates in two axes, it is easy to shoot from any chosen angle.There is a manual flash lift. Considering how flashes themselves like to appear at the wrong moment, this is more of an advantage than a disadvantage.

20.9 megapixel matrix with a size of 1 inch. Focal length - 24 - 100.80 mm. Aperture F1.8-F2.8 For those who want to shoot landscapes and small objects up close, the camera is perfect. The optical zoom is a little disappointing, as the model only has a built-in magnification of 4.2 times. The quality at this approximation is high and increases even more due to the stabilizer. But for working with distant objects, it is better to choose something else. But the camera in its class has the best display and viewfinder. And due to the high aperture of the lens, the pictures come out better than other similar models.

A very small camera, which, however, cannot be called light. If you put the device and its battery on the scales, they will show 310 g. This indicates a durable case and expensive components inside. As for the battery, its capacity does not exceed 680 mAh, and therefore the charge will end after 250-300 shots. However, this is the only significant drawback of this model. If we talk about the merits, then the greatest delight is caused by an inch matrix, thanks to which the photos are very detailed. It is also difficult to complain about a lens whose aperture at its widest angle opens up to f / 1.4. But due to the desire to reduce the size of the device, the manufacturer had to limit itself to a threefold optical zoom.

Reviews of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX15 often mention other features of the digital camera. The first is 4K video. It is a pity that it is carried out at a frequency of no higher than 30 frames / s, but this is the fate of most of these cameras. The optical image stabilizer also works great here, allowing you to make the shutter speed a little longer than usual. In burst mode, the camera takes 10 shots every second. A three-inch touch screen is able to boast of a rotary mechanism. In short, this is a modern camera, the main disadvantage of which is too high a price.

This camera deservedly takes first place in the ranking of advanced digital cameras. Fujifilm's design is subtly reminiscent of old analog cameras, classics of the genre. In the reviews, users note the high convenience of the model: it literally becomes an extension of the hand. As photographers note, this is not a professional working tool, but rather something akin to a brush in the hand of an amateur artist. The camera is really nice to shoot and, most importantly, you can take really high-quality photos, albeit with some features.

The camera received a high-quality matrix with 24 megapixels and a "classic" APS-C size (23.6x15.6 mm). The maximum resolution of pictures is 6000x4000 pixels. F2 aperture, which, coupled with a sensitivity of 100 - 3200 ISO, allows you to take good photos even in the dark. There is bracketing for ISO sensitivity, exposure, dynamic range, white balance, and even film simulation.So the camera can take really "live" photos. At the same time, the device received a large number of settings, which can be understood even without instructions. The peculiarity of the camera is that you cannot change the lens with a fixed focal length of 23 mm on it. This is not suitable for all shooting styles, but does not make the camera worse or better than others. He's just different. Of course, there are Wi-Fi modules, Bluetooth, HDMI and USB connectors, as well as a remote control connector and a microphone output.

The best option for a person who is not going to master all the intricacies of digital photography. The manufacturer endowed his creation with the optimal number of controls.On the top panel, a wheel is found to select the shooting mode, and a certain number of buttons can also be found on the side of the screen. If you need to make some complex settings, the rotating touch screen comes to the rescue. I am glad that the menu here is designed in such a way that even a beginner can figure it out. However, all this does not mean that the device is intended exclusively for shooting at full "automatic". Like other modern cameras - Canon PowerShot SX70 HS offers a lot of manual settings.

The main feature of this model is a 65x optical zoom. It allows you to use the device for shooting wild animals and sports events. However, the aperture at maximum magnification is covered up to f / 6.5, so taking pictures in twilight and complete darkness will not work. Even with the presence of an optical stabilizer here, thanks to which you can experiment with shutter speed. The matrix is ​​also a limitation - its size is the usual 1/2.3 inch. They do not allow the camera to be given the highest rating and 9 focus points. However, not everything is so bad. The device also has a number of advantages, which include 4K video shooting, high-speed burst mode, electronic viewfinder and Wi-Fi module.

This camera is bought because of its cost and the ability to take pictures at 60x optical zoom. Buyers do not care at all that the manufacturer had to save on some design elements.For example, he failed to provide the lens with a wide-opening aperture. It also uses a simple 16-megapixel CMOS-matrix, the size of which is 1/2.3 inches. All this does not play a special role, because Nikon Coolpix B600 is bought in order to receive pictures for home archive and publication on social networks. And the device copes with this task without any problems.

This model even surpasses some of its competitors. For example, it offers 99 focus points, thanks to which sharpening is carried out quickly and accurately. She is also able to please with her body, partially made of metal. At the same time, the camera turned out to be relatively light - the scales under it will show 500 g, and most of this weight probably falls on the lens. Another device received wireless modules Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Framing is proposed to be carried out using the display. It is a pity that it cannot be rotated or folded back - this would make it easier to shoot from unusual angles. Perhaps most of all, this model can upset the one who is going to use it for video shooting. Alas, here this process is limited to Full HD resolution at 30 frames / s.

The camera is rightfully considered the leader in the ranking of the best ultrasonic cameras. Manufacturers have squeezed everything possible out of optics, and today it is difficult to imagine a more powerful zoom system. Nikon has a wide range of focal lengths: at the touch of a button, it turns from super-zoom to wide-angle (focal length from 24 millimeters).For lovers of wildlife and astronomy, special modes "moon" and "bird watching" are provided.

The rate of fire is 7 frames per second. Of course, when shooting at ultra-long distances, you will need a tripod, but when photographing close objects by hand, an innovative vibration reduction system will help. Fans of technical bells and whistles will appreciate the built-in Wi-Fi and GPS modules, as well as a convenient swivel display. However, professionals will be disappointed by the quality of the picture. According to reviews, Nikon will take sharp photos only in sunny weather at ISO 100–200

A few years ago, everyone was waiting for Sony's new action camera. But instead, she created something unusual called RX0 (and now there is a sequel for sale).This device has similar dimensions, but at its core is still a camera, not a video camera. Most of all, it is surprising that under its compact body there was a place for an inch matrix. With it, the detail of the pictures goes to a new level! The only pity is that the manufacturer failed to endow his camera with at least some kind of optical zoom. This is due to the desire to abandon mechanical parts, thanks to which the device received a high level of water protection. But you still can't dive with it.

The camera received an unimaginably huge number of shooting modes. The easiest way to manage it is with a smartphone, for which Bluetooth and Wi-Fi modules are used. Often, reviews also mention a powerful processor. It is ready to digest huge amounts of data. As a result, there was a video mode in Full HD resolution at 1000 fps! But if you switch to 4K, then you are waiting for the more familiar 30 frames / s - otherwise the camera would instantly overheat. Not to mention the presence of a microphone input. Buyers also appreciated the display used here, supplemented by a rotary mechanism. Perhaps this is the only structural element that does not allow the device to be called shockproof.

Five or six years ago, the market was littered with underwater cameras. Alas, the situation has now changed. Only two companies are engaged in their production, and they no longer sell their devices for any little money.If you are counting on a decent photo result, then you will have to pay a very decent amount for the Ricoh WG-6, comparable to the cost of a mid-budget smartphone. As a result, you will get a device with a ring flash that literally saves under water. And the device is endowed with a GPS chip, thanks to which the pictures are supplied with geotags. In the future, you can easily understand from them where your photos were taken. The main feature of this model is the possibility of 4K video shooting.

A 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor is hidden under the shockproof and waterproof housing. Its resolution is 20 megapixels. It is curious that the entire mechanical design of the lens is hidden behind the front glass, but at the same time, a decent five-fold optical zoom awaits the buyer. However, miracles do not happen, and with this design, the aperture opens only to values ​​​​from f / 4.2 to f / 6.6, depending on the selected zoom. This imposes certain restrictions on the camera when shooting in low light conditions. However, in the reviews most often they complain not about this. And not for the lack of a Wi-Fi module, which would greatly simplify the transfer of material to another device. People don't like 9 focus points. By modern standards, this is negligible. But it cannot be said that such a number of them brings serious inconvenience. Otherwise, this camera still would not have made it to our selection, even in the absence of worthy alternatives.

A camera that meets both land and underwater standards.The price does not bite like a shark, but swims up and pleases like a dolphin. The small size is the first thing you should pay attention to this model. On the beach and at sea, such a device will be convenient to use. You can put the strap on your hand or carry it in your beach bag - and the camera will definitely not be lost. Weight - only 231 grams with dimensions of 11.2x6.6x2.9 cm. It's nice that there is no unnecessary sharpness when shooting - portraits come out soft. With the expectation that the camera is designed to work in different conditions, it has built-in fast focusing. The camera also allows you to easily switch between different settings, allowing you to quickly find the right shooting mode. There is an accessible and easy menu in which you can completely customize the device for yourself.

Matrix - 16.76 megapixels at a size of 1 / 2.3. A good focal length is built in - 24 - 120mm. The optical zoom is small - only 5x. But given the operating conditions of the camera, such an increase should be enough. It shoots at 7 frames per second. The lack of a viewfinder can be a little frustrating, but this is more a matter of habit. It has an optical image stabilizer. This helps to improve the photo several times and avoid unnecessary noise. 4K shooting is also provided. Supports Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth.
