Point and Shoot

Back in the heyday of analog point-and-shoot cameras, the better-quality models used 35mm film. Ilford's Sprite 35 was one of the classics, and it's now being reintroduced – sort of – in the form of the Sprite 35-II.

The third and latest G series compact camera from Canon is clearly designed to impress. The flagship PowerShot G1 X Mark III is the first of the company's point-and-shoot cameras to be treated to a 24 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor and Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus.​

Swedish-led Q Lifestyle has released a colorful 5 megapixel, 3G-packing pocket camera called theQ that's both easy on the budget and simple to use.

The Leica C is the latest luxury reworking of a mainstream camera. This time the famously red dotted firm has collaborated with Audi Design to turn the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LF1 into a camera for design-conscious snappers. At least with Wi-Fi, NFC and an EVF, it boasts some solid tech credentials.

Nikon has announced two new updates to its line-up of Coolpix cameras. The P7800, which introduces an electronic viewfinder to the enthusiast-focused P7000 series, and the S02, which brings an improved resolution and Full HD video recording to Nikon's line of itty-bitty point-and-shoots.

Wireless connectivity and the ability to instantly share images is fast becoming a must-have when it comes to digital cameras. So it should come as no surprise that when Canon recently revealed updates to several of its most popular Powershot models, many of the new versions were Wi-Fi enabled.

The XZ-10 is the latest high-end compact camera from Olympus which is targeted at photography enthusiasts.

Sony has revealed the Cyber-shot RX100, a compact camera with a larger than usual 1.0-inch sensor which measures 13.2 x 8.8mm.
