3 Small Digital Cameras that gives you the most bang for your buck!

When It comes to small digital cameras, there are a few that sticks out.
Today, small doesn’t mean cheap or poor quality.

Here is a list of my favorite small, mirrorless, lightweight compact & DSLR cameras:

#1 The incredible Fujifilm X100f

Best Small Digital Camera
Fujifilm x100f Small & Best Image Quality

I’ve talked a lot about my love for the Fujifilm x100f.

This little camera is not the cheapest on the list – but it sure is the best in terms of image quality – hands down.

With a weight of only469 gram, this small camera gives you an incredible photo quality and it’s always why I put it my list of best travel cameras of 2018. See the photographs I’ve taken with the Fujifilm x100f. To me, this is a perfect camera.

Get the Fujifilm x100f!

#2 The pocketable Ricoh GR II

Ricoh GR Digital (black): Small, but great.

If we talk size and money for value, we have to talk about the Ricoh GR II. I use this small camera for travel and street photography. If you don’t want to spend that much on the Fujifilm, this is my recommendation for you. The small Ricoh GR II Digital comes with image stabilization, 16.2 megapixels Optical Sensor Resolution and a Video Capture Resolution of 1080p.

See the photos I’ve taken with the Ricoh GR II.

3. Small DSLR Camera

If DSLR with interchangeable lens is what you want, I’d go for the Canon EOS Rebel T6i Digital SLR with EF-S 18-55mm IS STM Lens. Read the crazy positive reviews on Amazon. This camera is a beast too

  • EOS Full High Definition Movie mode that can capture brilliant results in an MP4 format.
  • High-speed continuous shooting up to 5.0 frames per second, which allows you to capture fast action, without it being blurry.
