The Sony RX100 VII is the best all-round pocket camera, with a 1-inch sensor, an 8x optical zoom, 20 fps burst shooting and an electronic viewfinder. The Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III is the best for vlogging, and the Fujifilm X100VI is the best for image quality and street photography.

Yes, if you want better quality than a smartphone in a small body. Point and shoot cameras have larger sensors and real optical zoom, so they give sharper photos, better low-light results and natural background blur. They are great for travel, family events and vlogging, and they are easy to use without any lens changing.

The Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III is the best point and shoot for vlogging. It records 4K video without a crop and has built-in YouTube livestreaming, and it has a flip-up screen so you can see yourself while filming. The Sony RX100 VII is also a strong choice if you want a longer zoom.

Both cameras have a 1-inch sensor and 20-megapixel resolution. The Sony RX100 VII has a longer 24-200mm zoom and optical stabilization, while the Canon G7 X Mark III has a brighter 24-100mm f/1.8-2.8 lens and is better for vlogging. Choose the Sony for zoom and tracking, and the Canon for low light and video.

The Fujifilm X100VI is a fixed-lens camera with a large APS-C sensor, which is much bigger than the 1-inch sensors in most compact cameras. This gives it excellent image quality, great low-light performance and Fujifilm’s popular film-style colours. It is a favorite for street, travel and everyday photography because of its classic design.

The Canon IXY 650 (Dhs. 1,199) and Canon IXUS 285 HS (Dhs. 1,349) are the best budget point and shoot cameras at PixelMax. They are small, light and easy to use, so they slip into a pocket and are great for holidays, family photos and beginners who want more zoom and quality than a phone.

A point and shoot camera has a fixed lens and a smaller body, so it is easy to carry and use. A mirrorless camera has a larger sensor and interchangeable lenses, which gives you more creative control and better quality but costs more and is bigger. Choose point and shoot for convenience and mirrorless for serious photography.
