Compact Cameras have always been a popular Travel companion, but now larger sensors than most bridge cameras and reasonable zooms make them an even better choice.
- HSC stands for High Sensitivity Camera
- DSC stands for Digital Still Camera
- Most come with an Electronic Viewfinder (EVF), Tripod Thread, Built-in Flash.
Whilst 1-inch type sensors are the newest and best versions, this then comes at a higher price.
