By Nilofer Khan

September 15, 2025

Canon has launched some exceptional compact cameras over the years. However, it appears that the company is gaining new momentum, thanks to this one device, which they announced recently. While companies like Fujifilm, Kodak, and Ricoh are trying to win over the market, Canon does not want to be left behind, since they were once a giant ruling the small sensor sales.

By Chris Gampat

For several years, photographers have wanted to know why a Peter Lik image is worth so much money when someone can go photograph the same exact thing. And in today's world, that's even more important. On eBay, there's currently an image of Antelope Canyon going for $1,200,000. These days, I strongly believe that authenticity is something that must be talked about when talking about photography sales. Afterall, this could've been made with AI imaging software at this point.

Compact cameras are back in fashion. Many casual users and Gen Z are opting for them, with many people choosing them for their ability to make distinct images. However, some people also choose one to have distinct aesthetics. For instance, people looking at older models such as the Powershot S95 or the Fujifilm Finepix 10. These devices are small, pocketable, and also offer distinct images. While there are many options from big manufacturers, Camp Snap, a company run by two individuals, offers some truly exciting compacts. To add to their growing portfolio, they have announced a new model, which is perfect for millennials, too!

Nikon Could Turn the Z30 Into the Coolpix A. So Why Don’t They?

This site reviewed the Nikon Coolpix A camera in 2013. It boasted great image quality and a reassuring build. And Nikon hasn't really returned to the world of compact cameras in years. Honestly, it also doesn't even seem like they want to do it either. And if they really choose to not step into this space, I think that they'd be hurting themselves so much. They could even just make a smaller Nikon Zf C of some sort and give it a pancake fixed lens!
