'very capable camera'

'highly capable camera'

'The improved image stabilisation system works excellently for both stills and video, even when hand-holding the camera at very slow shutter speeds. '

'The Canon PowerShot G3 X is a very competent fixed-lens compact, which will get you much better results than your average superzoom bridge camera. '

'impressive camera'

'The built-in flash worked well indoors, with no red-eye and good overall exposure, although there's noticeable vignetting at 24mm. '

'High-quality 24-600mm lens'

'excellent compact system camera'

'But just because it's affordable doesn't mean it feels cheap per se; the GF7 isn't the very best built Lumix camera in the range, as price dictates, but this small-scale model is well crafted all things considered. '

'180° tiltable touchscreen'

'The RX100 is plenty capable, but its greatest strength is its size.'

'Customizable controls'

'The built-in flash worked well indoors, with no red-eye and good overall exposure. '

'Secondly, there's a handy sensor which automatically detects when the D-Lux (Typ 109) is held up to eye-level and even starts auto-focusing, with just the slightest delay until the display is ready. '
