1 - Panasonic Lumix LF1
The high end compact for photographers not satisfied with their camera-toting smartphones, the Panasonic Lumix LF1 offers Raw shooting, full HD video and full manual control in a pocket-friendly body. The 12.1-megapixel Live MOS sensor is accompanied by a 7.1x optical zoom with a range of 28-200mm. Panasonic’s Power O.I.S image stabilization system is also on board to keep shots looking sharp and high quality. An ISO range of 80-6400 covers those tricky low-light snaps and a 3-inch LCD screen let's you instantly review pics. (Price: £379)
2 - Samsung NX300
Replacing the NX20, the Samsung NX300 is amongst the top Compact System Cameras to buy. Driving the excellent image-grabbing performance is a 20.3-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor paired with Samsung’s DRIMe IV imaging sensor to reduce noise and improve colour. You can shoot full HD video at up to 50fps and Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity means you can share photos easily. The 3-inch AMOLED touchscreen is hinged letting you shoot from high and low angles for those awkward crowd shots. (Price: £599)
3 - Canon EOS 100D (SL1)
Currently the world’s smallest and lightest DSLRs in the world, the Canon EOS 100D delivers the type of image quality to justify the price tag. Weighing in at 407g, the 100D features an 18-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor. The ISO range is 100-6400 but can be expanded to 25,600 for increased levels of detail. There’s support for full HD video capture with frame rates ranging from 30 to 24fps. There’s a 3-inch, 1040-dot touchscreen display and plenty of creative filters to make your amateur snaps look a lot more impressive. (Price: £650)
4 - Ricoh GR
A £600 compact camera, the Ricoh GR has the high end specs to justify the price tag. The 16-megapixel APS-C sized CMOS image sensor coupled with a f.2.8 fixed focal length lens helps deliver the high quality snaps. Ricoh’s GR ENGINE V imaging processor reduces noise in photos and a 3-inch LCD screen gives you a clear view of the shooting scenery. It also manages full 1080p HD video recording and has Eye-Fi card compatibility to transfer videos and photos in no time. (Price: £600)
5 - Fujifilm HS50EXR
Announced at the beginning of 2013, the Fujifilm HS550 EXR is a bridge cam that should appeal to photographers not ready to upgrade to a DSLR. Amongst the standout features is a 16-megapixel EXR CMOS II sensor, the 3-inch tilting LCD display and the ability to shoot full 1080p video. The sensor has, according to Fuji the 'world’s fastest autofocus speed' at just 0.05 seconds. The manual zoom lens means you can get in nice and close to your targets and if you love photo filters, there are plenty of those to play with too. (Price: £399)
6 - Panasonic Lumix G6
A mid-range camera that sits between the Lumix G5 and the GH3, the Panasonic Lumix G6 is a feature packed snapper. Hosting a 16.05-megapixel Live MOS sensor, the G6 includes Panasonic’s Venus Engine to offer continuous shooting. The 3-inch capacitive touchscreen hasa resolution of 1040k-dots and works with multi-touch gestures letting you get nice and close to your snaps. There's full manual 1080p video capture and with NFC and Wi-Fi connectivity has the ability to transfer and review photos on a tablet or smartphone. (Price: £550)
7 - Canon EOS-1D X
A true pro-grade camera, the Canon EOS 1D-X is the most expensive camera on our list. It costs at least £4,000, and that’s just for the body – no lens. It’s a huge camera with absolutely masses of photo potential. It uses a full-frame 18-megapixel sensor, offers superb low-light performance and super-fast processing thanks to its use of dual DIGIC 5 processors. Aside from the gaping hole it’ll leave in your bank account and the shoulder pain it’ll cause, there’s little not to the like about this camera. (Price: £5,300)
8 - Fujifilm X-E1
The much more practical cousin of the utterly lovely FujiFilm X100, the Fuji X-E1 is a lower-cost interchangeable lens camera with an APS-C sensor. This is the same size of sensor you’ll find in many DSLRs – most DSLRs that normal folk can afford. With a kit lens you’re looking at around £1000 for the bundle, but this is much cheaper than most of the other kit in the Fuji X series. It’s a gorgeous, well-made camera too, with leather-effect sides and exposed metal for the retro look. (Price: £1,149)
9 - Sony RX100 II
The RX100 is one of the best compacts and the Sony RX100 II makes some vast improvements on its predecessor to make snapping even better. A large 1-inch 20.2-megapixel back-illuminated Exmor CMOS sensor delivers higher resolution images and the ability to capture more detail. There’s a 3.6x optical zoom with Carl Zeiss optics covering a focal range of 28-100mm and a 3-inch titling display letting you shoot from different angles. At £649 it’s an expensive compact, but the RX100 II is one of the very best compact cameras you can buy. (Price: £649)
10 - Nikon D600
Although the Nikon D600 looks a lot like a standard DSLR, it’s a bit special. It uses a full-frame sensor, much larger than the APS-C size sensor used in most DSLR cameras. A full-frame jobbie supplies unbeatable low light performance and overall detail. The Nikon D600 manages to pack this sensor in at a very reasonable price too. Available for under £1500 body-only, it’s actually not too terrifying an outlay for those obsessed enough photography to make use of a high-powered camera like this. (Price: £1,849)
