Best Digital Cameras - 17 to 28 mm Image Sensor Size, 215 to 415 Images Battery Life

'great 'carry-everywhere' camera'

'We really don't have many complaints about this latest addition to the OM-D line, which is stuffed with great features.'

'built-in flash'

'If you need better autofocus in a Micro Four Thirds camera, the Olympus OM-D E-M1 is a better choice thanks to its hybrid phase/contrast system.'

'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. '

'built-in electronic viewfinder'

'Both detail and low ISO dynamic range have been improved over the Panasonic Lumix GX7. '

'water-resistant build'

'very capable camera'

'There's no mistaking it; this is definitely a Panasonic hybrid.'

'a broad feature set'

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

'Initial impressions of the new Canon EOS M3 are mostly favourable.'

'The EOS M3 is Canon's most serious mirrorless camera to date.'

'very well-designed mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera'

'Useful live view and great screen. '

'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'

'good-looking, well-made camera'

'Outstanding image quality and performance make this classically designed rangefinder model a must have for anyone looking to upgrade from a point-n-shoot or just someone looking for a compact ILC to travel with.'

'In-body image stabilization.'

'Battery here life is a respectable rather than exceptional 350 images from a full charge – but that is about average for a compact system camera in this suggested £499 price bracket. '

'Top-notch high ISO performance'

'The supplied external flash worked well indoors, with no red-eye and adequate 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. '
