Compact cameras

Compact System Cameras, or hybrid cameras, are designed for buyers seeking a camera that offers lots of creative control, high image quality and the option to attach different lenses, but who don't usually want the bulk of a DSLR

The best compact cameras in 2020: cameras big on quality, small on size

What makes a compact camera? Put simply it's a camera with a fixed lens attached, sometimes a prime, sometimes a zoom. However there is a little more to it than that – sensor sizes can vary greatly on compact cameras, but tend to be smaller than those you'd find on a DSLR camera or a mirrorless camera
Camera phones have annihilated the conventional compact camera market, so for a standalone compact to really stand out these days, it needs to deliver clearly superior image quality.

Advanced Photo System type-C (APS-C) is an image sensor format approximately equivalent in size to the Advanced Photo System film negative in its C ("Classic") format, of 25.1×16.7 mm, an aspect ratio of 3:2.

As is with all art, photography is subjective. It’s important to remember that there is a huge range of gear between what is considered beginner and advanced. There is no way to draw the line between what is considered beginner and professional gear.

So knowing what constitutes a "good" image is important.

Learn the rules and only then decide to throw them away.
