The following cameras are “statement makers” that are guaranteed to turn heads and, better yet, elicit wonderful smiles.

The original Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100, introduced in June 2012, featured a fresh, inviting design, a fast 28-100mm (equivalent) Zeiss Vario-Sonnar zoom lens, and something unheard of for such a compact camera: a 20.2MP 1"-format backlight-illuminated CMOS sensor.

For many, it proved to be the "sweet spot" in terms

If you can spare the room and want to experiment on your next vacation, I would recommend adding a portable printer to your bag. Nowadays you can find compact, battery-powered options that will let you pop out physical prints from your camera and smartphone quickly and easily. It is almost as easy as posting a photo to Instagram, though the feeling of holding a photo far surpasses that of uploading an image to social media. If you make some friends during

Because this was a title before it was an article, let me just start by saying the only thing you need to know about Fujifilm instax cameras is that they are a fun and easy way to enjoy instant photo prints. Instax pushes out a print that self-develops within a few minutes of its emergence from the camera. In the digital era, there is little in the way of practical uses for this system, but since when does photography have to be practical? Use it to experiment, use it to enjoy good times with friends, at weddings or parties, and use it to show

When you search “Cameras for Kids” on the B&H website, you get a small selection of cute cameras with princesses or cartoon characters on them.
