Cherry-picking the “best” point-and-shoot cameras from among the 200-plus point-and-shoots we carry at B&H Photo can be challenging, considering the criteria on which we base our choices. For this year’s best point-and-shoot camera roundup, we took every category of point-and-shoot camera in our vast inventory—from full-frame to 1/5" sensor-size cameras—into consideration. From there, we short-listed them based on user popularity, along with our own personal likes (and dislikes) in a bid to come up with a fair representation of what we consider to be the best easy-to-use fixed-lens cameras on the market today. Hopefully you, our readers, will concur.
Before moving forward, it’s important to define the term “point-and-shoot camera.” At B&H Photo (and most other retailers and camera manufacturers), a point-and-shoot camera is a camera (digital or film) with a fixed, non-interchangeable zoom or fixed focal-length lens. If you can change the lens, it’s not a point-and-shoot. Interchangeable-lens cameras are categorized as “advanced” cameras, which includes most mirrorless and DSLR camera systems.
Point-and-shoot cameras are available in a choice of sensor sizes ranging from relatively tiny 1/5" sensors to full-frame (24 x 36mm) camera sensors. The “Best of” cameras listed below are presented alphabetically according to sensor size, large to small. The order in which these cameras appear does not in any way indicate our personal choices concerning which of these cameras are the best of the bunch, this is a decision only you, dear reader, can decide.
When applicable, we have included earlier-generation models of our “Best of 2019” choices as less expensive (but equally fine) alternatives to our primary candidates.
