Sometimes, the Best camera for the job is something thatās compact and easy to use. Plus, many of us arenāt skilled enough to use bulkier cameras with tons of controls. A simpler tool that you could, say, point-and-shoot, is often a much better choice. Thatās why we decided to find the best point-and-shoot cameras in 2021 and bring them to you!
When you’re having an outdoor adventure or playing a sport, regular cameras don’t cut it. Photos or videos captured will be blurry and won’t highlight you or your friend in all the glory possible. Plus, normal cameras aren’t all that durable and are rarely waterproof.
Thatās why we took it upon ourselves to find the best action cameras in 2021. Action cameras are usually waterproof and have special sensor suites to help them stabilize images and eliminate blurriness as they capture photos and videos of moving targets. Let’s take a look at the cameras we tested and loved.
Recently, Polaroid Originals gave us the OneStep+, a dual-lens camera with Bluetooth connectivity in a classic Polaroid instant camera body. Now, with a rebrand that sees Polaroid Originals return to simply Polaroid, the company has released the Polaroid Now, an even simpler camera that aims to get back to the basics of fun, instant shots.
The Polaroid Now drops some of the features of the OneStep+ while simplifying others.
Gone is the physical toggle for choosing between portrait and landscape ā the Polaroid Now does this for you. You also donāt need to worry much about focusing, as the lens in the Polaroid Now is autofocus, sliding in a 35 mm or 40 mm lens depending on how far away your subject is.
Dropping the Bluetooth features and swapping to autofocus sees the Polaroid Now positioned as a point-and-click instant camera for those who prefer to keep things simple.
The X-T4 is the latest flagship APS-C mirrorless camera from Fujifilm. Itās a 26-megapixel camera capable of shooting up to 20 frames per second.
The Fujifilm X-T4 uses the same processor and sensor as the X-T3, which will continue to be for sale. However, impressive leaps forwards have been made elsewhere. The banner changes are in-body stabilization, faster shooting, a larger battery, and improved autofocus features. Other design changes may tempt you to upgrade from the superb X-T3.
Fujifilmās X100 series of fixed-lens cameras has been many photographersā favorite for almost a decade. We like the performance, portability, and physical design of this prime-lens compact camera. Now the X100V hits the market and weāre keen to see what the latest model might improve upon. It turns out, itās a lot.
The X100V promises more capability, a redesigned lens, improved autofocus, and a laundry list of video features. So letās dive in to see why we think this is a top choice if youāve never owned an X100 series before and whether to upgrade if you have an earlier model of X100.
The entry-level Canon EOS M50 is designed for those who are looking to make their first upgrade from a basic compact camera or a smartphone. This doesnāt mean it lacks pro features ā it has a 24.1-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, a 10-fps burst shooting capacity, and can record 4K video. It has everything a budding photographer could want.
The compact size and light weight make it a companion you can bring anywhere. Reliable metering and auto white balance make it a camera thatās easy to get great shots with, and the autofocus is so fast and accurate you can capture all the action.
If you like to gather crisp video in the thick of things, you need the best of the best. Thatās why we put together this GoPro Hero 7 review. GoPro has long been the frontrunner when it comes to video games. Letās find out if this offering is up to their high standard.
Some moments are best caught in the thick of the action. For these, you need a durable, sensitive digital camera that can capture lifeās motion in as good a quality as your own eyes. Letās examine one upper-tier action camera in our Garmin Virb Ultra 30 review and see if itās worth your time.
The Canon EOS 200D (also known as the EOS Rebel SL2) is an ultra-compact DSLR at a fantastic price. It features a 24.2-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, 9-point autofocus, 5 fps burst speed shooting (3.5 fps with AF), and a 3-inch articulating touchscreen.
Itās designed for those who want an unintimidating compact camera that can still offer outstanding photos. It may not have all of the bells-and-whistles of much more expensive kit, but it includes all of the most important abilities and features you need to take great shots.
The Sony A6400 is a new addition to the APS-C range, slotting in below the A6500 and replacing the A6300. Like both of these models, the A6400 has a 24.2-megapixel sensor, but with a new BIONZ X image processor and a front-end LSI, the processing speed is almost two times as fast as the A6300 was.
The improvements stretch the ISO ceiling to 102,400 from the 32,000 of the A6500 and color reproduction has been improved.
