Point-and-shoots and starter cameras we track against pricier rivals. Most casual shooters do not need a [$1,500] mirrorless body, and this page is about the camera itself, not the memory cards or bags it usually ships bundled with.

Buying guide
What actually matters when you buy a compact camera
Zoom range beats megapixels
Past [16MP] more pixels rarely means a sharper photo on a phone-sized screen. Optical zoom range is what actually changes what you can shoot.
Batteries run out faster than phones
Compact cameras average [200 to 300] shots per charge, well under a phone's day. A spare battery is not optional gear, it is part of the real price.
Waterproof models trade off low-light quality
Rugged, waterproof bodies seal out water but usually ship with a smaller sensor. Decide which trade-off matches how you will actually use it.
A DSLR kit lens is rarely the one you keep
Budget for at least one more lens before deciding a DSLR kit is actually cheaper than a compact once you add it up.
