Collection: Compact/Bridge Cameras

The lens is fixed to the body here, so the lens is what you are really choosing. Four families sit side by side:

• Superzoom bridges: Coolpix P950 and P1100, PowerShot SX70 HS, Sony RX10 IV. Long reach with no lens changes, for wildlife, aviation or the moon.
• One-inch sensor compacts: PowerShot G7 X Mark III and Cyber-shot RX100 VII. Serious quality in a body that fits a coat pocket.
• Fixed-focal APS-C: Fujifilm X100VI and Ricoh GR III. A big sensor and a single framing, the street and documentary pairing.
• Video and rough use: the Sony ZV-1F and ZV-1 II are built for filming yourself; the OM System Tough TG-7 is the one for hostile conditions.

Eighteen models from Canon, Sony, Nikon, Fujifilm, Panasonic, Ricoh and OM System, €264 to €2,389.
