Holiday cameras - our highlights of 2017

A holiday camera needs to be compact and have a good zoom. Of course, image quality and price also have to be right. We've made our choice, now it's up to you to find the model that's right for you.

An incredible zoom, little luggage: travel zoom cameras

Want to be able to photograph distant motifs, without having three lenses in your suitcase? Then a travel zoom camera is perfect. You'll get 30 to 40 times zoom. Compared to compact cameras, you may have to spend more money, but you've got a very compact camera with a much greater zoom range.

Smaller and cheaper: premium 1-inch compact cameras

Premium compact cameras have a high-end finish and perform very well. They have a fixed lens, meaning there's only one - there's no need to wonder which one to use. What you have here is an incredibly compact and versatile camera with a 1-inch sensor for excellent image quality.

Power with a wide choice of lenses

Compared to travel zoom and compact cameras, interchangeable lens cameras give you better image quality and more equipment, which is noticeable in the price. Larger sensors ensure better brightness, less noise and more depth.

Compact cameras with interchangeable lenses

At present, cameras with interchangeable lenses, i.e. without mirrors, offer almost the same quality as SLRs, but are considerably more compact than the famous SLR models. The lack of choice of lenses that interchangeable lens cameras were criticised for a few years ago is no longer the order of the day.
