If a bulky and expensive DSLR camera looks a little out of place for your needs, then you’re most likely a casual or amateur photographer looking for a handy camera that you can tuck away into your pocket. Read on! We have a whole list of affordable and convenient cameras that will help you capture your most precious moments.

As sensor sizes and megapixels are increasing by the day, point-and-shoots are getting slimmer, smaller and more attractive than ever. Here is our list of some the best among these small sized dynamites that exploded recently into the camera market and are still alive and kicking.

At 20 megapixels, this is unbeatable in terms of photo quality. The sensor is quite large compared to cameras in the same league.

Does a good job capturing fast-moving objects in dark indoor scenes and natural brightness even in backlit conditions. Easy to sync with the Cloud with the Mobile Device Connection button. Can shoot remotely via a smart device.

A great device for less than $200. Boasts a sharp lens, excellent ISO performance and . integrated Wi-Fi that allows you to connect to cloud easily.

A very good camera in terms of image quality, performance and ergonomics. Can be operated with one hand and you can literally tuck it into your shirt pocket.

A fantastic device with 50X zoom, sharp picture quality and fast auto-focus coupled with a weather- resistant design.

A very interesting device packed with a relatively large sensor and an Optical View Finder, which is a rarity in smaller cameras. Good for street shooting.

Great photo quality along with 30X zoom and Wi-Fi.

  • Samsung EX-GC110 Loaded with a fast F/1.4 aperture lens and a swivelling OLED display. With the built-in Wi-Fi, you can upload your photos directly to Facebook or to send to your smartphone.

  • Nikon Coolpix L29

A decent camera if you’re looking for something under $50. But be ready to compromise on the specifications.

You must be wondering what criterion you should follow in order to select a point-and-shoot camera. For being the occasional shooter that you are, we think these are some of the things that you should look out for and compare.

  • Megapixels (12 MP + is good)

  • Zoom (30X + is good), with Wide Angle Lens

  • Sensor Size (6.4 X 4.6, 1/2.3 mm is a standard is most cameras under $300; the bigger the better, but more expensive)

  • Maximum ISO (6400 is an undeclared standard is many cameras under $300; the more the better, but more expensive)

  • LCD Screen Size (3 inches is considered quite handy and is an undeclared standard)

  • Viewfinder Type (It’s very rare for a point-and-shoot cameras have a practical optical view finder)

  • Video Resolution (1920 x 1080 is a standard) i.e (1080p)

  • Dimensions (anywhere around 2.2 x 3.8 x 0.9 inches to 2.4 x 4.6 x 1.4 inches)

  • Weight (5.1 oz to 10.4 oz)

With the holidays around the corner, you can find plenty of Thanksgiving bargains, Black Friday deals, and Cyber Monday sales that can potentially earn you a handful of savings through discounts on digital cameras.
