An expert photographer would make sure that they always have an SLR camera on hand, even if they are taking a few casual shots. There’s no disputing that SLRs and even DSLRs are really great cameras for taking shots in almost every situation. They perform extremely well in low light conditions, have very low shutter times between shots and take great high magnification pictures. But for everyday use, nothing beats a good point and shoot camera. They slip into our pockets easily, do not have to be babied as they are more durable and are relatively inexpensive. So here’s our roundup of the top ten point and shoot cameras out on the market.
Canon Power Shot S100
This $370 camera is a really power packed device with a host of features that will please both novices and more advanced photographers. Though released close to year ago, this camera comes with GPS and a 12 megapixel CMOS sensor. It also shoots videos in 1080p HD
Canon Power Shot S95
This is another $350 camera from Canon that really has the features that makes these cameras perfect for casual use. Its mix of manual and automatic functions is perfect for beginners and advanced photographers.
Nikon CoolPix S9100
This fully automatic camera allows you to shoot great looking pictures and impressive zoom pictures with an 18x optical zoom lens. The 12 MP Backlit CMOS sensor is optimised to shoot in low light conditions.
Nikon CoolPix P300
The defining feature of this $300 camera is its F1.8 lens that offers great hardware at a competitive price. On the plus side this camera offers better battery life than its competitors and a pretty fast burst mode. Unfortunately it does not support RAW shooting. The pop up flash is also a nice addition.
Canon PowerShot SD4000 IS
The wide aperture F2.0 lens that comes with this camera creates interesting depth-of-field shots. The attractive orange color of this camera makes it not just a good camera, but also a style statement. This is one of the best compact cameras in the point and shoots class.
Sony Cybershot DSC-WX10
Priced in the extremely nominal $200 range, this camera allows you to shoot 1080i HD videos at 60 frames per second. The display screen is large and well lit, though the pictures that this camera takes aren’t of the highest quality.
Canon Powershot Elph HS
This camera has a lovely full touch LCD screen control interface for choosing settings and viewing pictures. The ultra wide angle lens and the 12 MP CMOS high sensitivity sensor combine to let you capture interesting images.
Fujifilm FinePix Z800EXR
Currently available on the market for prices as low as $90, this camera is a real steal. While the touch screen interface is really good, the poor video quality is a drawback. Still this camera has a very fast autofocus and captures decent, though not sharp images.
Casio Tryx Digital Camera
This camera has a unique twistable frame that allows you to use the camera in a number of ways. The frame can be used as a tripod, can be hung from a hook on the wall and even in a camcorder grip. This makes the camera versatile to use. A major drawback of this camera is the unresponsive touch screen.
Canon PowerShot A3300 IS Digital Camera
This is your typical run of the mill camera with a few surprises, mainly because of the below $200 price tag. Features like image stabilisation, wide-angle 5x optical zoom lens and a 16 megapixel CCD sensor make this camera unique given its price.
