Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000
What reviews say:

'The Panasonic FZ1000 is an extremely interesting camera, and one built with a very clear rival in mind. '

'excellent bridge camera'

'So if you're looking for a DSLR alternative with a long lens then, all things considered, the FZ1000 is an affordable and viable solution. '

'The RX10's denser build is indicative of its internal magnesium alloy chassis and weather-sealed design.'

'The Canon PowerShot SX60 HS is a very impressive camera that’s sure to please novice and enthusiast photographers alike.'

Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II
What reviews say:

Canon seems to have returned to top premium compact form with the updated version of its G1 X camera.

Canon has made significant changes to the body of the G1X, but are they for the better?

The Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II’s photo quality is excellent and videos are improved. We have no problems recommending it.

Is Canon’s flagship compact digital camera the answer to photographers’ prayers
