Best Digital Cameras in India 2020 Reviews & Buying Guide

Are you a casual photographer who likes to take a few quick snaps while enjoying a vacation or trip with your family?

Then the point and shoot digital camera is the best option for you that takes decent photographs without the complexity of DSLR camera.

Although, DSLR cameras are much more precise compared to digital cameras but digital cameras are simple to operate, lightweight and portable.

But there are a few specifications that must be considered before you buy a digital camera:

• Sensor size – Most digital point and shoot cameras have smaller image sensors compared to DSLRs which affects the smoothness of the color gradations but it gains the ability to put lenses with longer zoom factor into compact packages.
• Focal length – Focal length determines how far a camera’s leans can zoom in. Most digital cameras have 35 to 28mm focal length for nice wide angle photography in tight spaces.
• Low light performance – Good low light performance of a digital camera cuts out the need for flash. A camera that performs well at higher ISO settings takes blur-free photos even in low light.
• Image Stabilization – Optical image stabilization compensates for the shakiness of the hands of the photographer and it is an essential feature in a point and shoot camera.

In this post, we have put together a list of the best digital camera in India. Fujifilm X100S digital camera is our top pick from the list because of its excellent image quality even in high ISO and wealth of useful features.
