Christmas is a time when families and friends get together and share some great moments together. Capturing those moments such as Uncle Ted’s face as he opens his pressie that Gran has given him – a rather festive woolly jumper, or Dad showing off his not so great dance moves as the old Christmas songs play, can be priceless. So to ensure that you are well equipped it is important to have the cameras at the ready. If you’re hunting for a good one then we have compiled our top 3 list of compact cameras to ensure that you are ready to snap away photos to add to your albums.
Panasonic Lumix TZ8
The TZ8 touts a 12x optical zoom and excellent 12 megapixel camera to ensure that you get some great show stopping shots.
Although the camera looks a little on the chunkier side compared to most compact cameras on the market, it makes up in the features department with a speedy autofocus, image stabilisation and a sharp bright screen. Also, what makes it even great is it’s value for money at just under £200 it is the cheapest out of the bunch.
Sony Cybershot WX5
When you think Sony you would think sleek and stylish and this camera certainly looks the part. As well as including a 12.2 megapixel camera and 5x optical zoom, it comes packed with an array of useful automodes, including the option to take 3D panoramic photos.
As we would expect most Sony products to hold a healthy price tag, this compact snapper is certainly part of that crowd, because if you’re thinking of buying then this will set you back a cool £300!
Canon Powershot S90
Last on our list is the S90. Compared to the TZ8 and WX5 the camera offers a 10 megapixel camera with only a 3.8x optical zoom. However, it does take exquisitely detailed shots, with manual modes for ISO, white balance and zoom, as well as DSLR style flash and Raw mode.
However with a price tag of around £300, it does seem pretty dear for a compact digital camera which specs could be better on the price.
