  • This Isn't the Compact Camera Revival We Asked For

    This Isn't the Compact Camera Revival We Asked For

    With smartphone cameras coming to a plateau on quality -- especially on zoom lenses -- there is a distinct spot for point-and-shoots. Compact cameras certainly have value and the team thinks there is definitely a place for them in the market today, but also thinks there is a "right" and "wrong" way for manufacturers to jump in on this popular trend. Sure, these kinds of cameras need to be affordable but it's often not quite enough to just slap a USB-C charging port on a compact camera design from 8 years ago and call it good.

    That said, there are a few compact cameras that the team thinks would be okay to just re-release with minor upgrades to start serving the market right away.
