![]() The Canon PowerShot SX740 HS is a really impressive superzoom camera – even though it’s slim and compact, it offers a whopping zoom range of 24-960mm equivalent. Read more details in our full Fujifilm X100V review. In our view, this camera's premium design and superb engineering make it more than worth the price tag, if you can afford it. So really, the only major strike against the X100V is its price, which is considerable, costing more than any other camera on this list. The trade-off of sharpness of the prime lens is well worth it in our view. True, it doesn't have a zoom lens, but this is something you know going in – if you want a zoom lens, don't buy this camera. If you aren't someone who likes spending a lot of time editing images in software, then the vivid, crisp JPEGs of a Fujifilm X-Trans sensor may well appeal to you. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is a fantastic camera for street photography and everyday shooting.Īnother strength of Fujifilm X cameras, as we mentioned in our review, is how great the images look straight out of camera. The combination of an APS-C sensor and a fixed 35mm equivalent lens has gone through five iterations essentially unchanged since the original X100 debuted in 2010, and it has remained enduringly popular. The Fujifilm X100V, as we said plainly in our review, is arguably a perfect camera in the sense that it achieves precisely what it's setting out to do. This is the premium choice for point-and-shoot cameras, and what a choice it is. See our in-depth Olympus Tough TG-6 review where we get into more detail. Its 1/2.3-inch type sensor is about the same size as you get in most smartphones, so you're not going to see a huge upgrade in image quality and dynamic range compared to your phone. The thing to be aware of – and this is a consistent issue across tough compacts and action cameras – is that the TG-6 uses a relatively small sensor. Great if you plan to keep shooting well into the evening. We also appreciated the fact that it goes to a generous maximum aperture of f/2, which opens up options in low light. Its optical zoom lens puts it ahead of many other similarly specced cameras – and is also something GoPros don't have – with a 25-100mm equivalent range that is excellent for a wide range of subjects and perspectives. In our full review, we found that the TG-6 is still pretty much the best tough compact you can buy. It's designed to keep on kicking in pretty much any shooting scenario, much like a GoPro, but with more of a traditionally camera-shaped design. It's a type of camera known as a "tough compact", meaning it's waterproof, shockproof, freezeproof – and more. There’s no 4K video recording, but the camera can automatically scale your still photos for 4K displays, and will record all the 1080p60 footage you like.The Olympus Tough TG-6 is more than just a point-and-shoot. Other nifty features include a tilt screen, built-in GPS for geotagging, Wi-Fi, and NFC. The body itself is pretty plasticky, but in actual use it just melts into your hand. Perhaps our favorite thing about the HX400V is the comfortable, DSLR-style design, with a chunky front grip and a surprisingly grippy and silky smooth focusing ring around the massive lens barrel. Oddly, though, the price hasn’t dropped much over time-there may be better values out there. It’s been in stores for a while (we first checked it out in early 2014), but it holds up to some of the newest superzooms on the market in terms of image quality and features. Sure, the H400 has a longer reach, but this camera has all the coolest tech and can still bring all but the most distant subjects up close. Offering a 50x zoom and 20.4 megapixels, the Cyber-Shot HX400V is one of Sony’s strongest superzooms.
