Are the photos on your mobile phone not enough for you? Do you want a camera that's compact and easy to handle, and that you can use to take great photos? Whether you're a beginner, have been passionate about photography for years or are looking for a camera for a family holiday, we've got everything you need! Discover our star models for the 2016 holidays here.

They're all compact and easy to handle. Their image quality is also very good. So is their zoom. Now all you have to do is choose: a particularly compact model with a fixed lens or more flexibility thanks to interchangeable lenses? We'll give you more information on this page. Find the best special holiday camera of your life!

Quality fixed lens cameras

These cameras feature a fixed lens. Also known as "Point and Shoot" cameras, they are suitable for universal use and their compactness is unbeatable. This means: less stuff to carry around (no lenses to lug around and the camera fits in a small pocket), fewer decisions to make and fewer missed moments (you don't have to change the lens when the sun goes down). Our fixed-lens cameras still offer excellent image quality and sufficient zoom to capture distant subjects. Separated into compact cameras and travel cameras, we present our highlights with fixed lens. For great holiday photos wherever you go.

Universal compact cameras from 1" with fixed lens

Particularly compact and lightweight. Great prices.

The lightweight and compact Fujifilm X70 won us over, despite not having - like other travel cameras - a zoom lens, but a fixed focal length of 28mm. Thanks to its APS-C sensor, your holiday photos will have superb colours and all have the same style. Also suitable for city tours.

Quality cameras with interchangeable lenses

Cameras with interchangeable lenses give you infinite flexibility, because you -theoretically- have to change lenses depending on the motif. That's also why these cameras aren't as compact as those shown above. On the other hand, they have much larger sensors, higher brightness, less noise and a deeper field of view. Compared to the compact and zoom travel cameras shown, our interchangeable lens cameras generally offer better image quality, which is also apparent when you look at the price. Mirrorless cameras are just as good quality as SLRs, which is why we haven't separated them and present our favourites.
