3. Nikon COOLPIX P900 (King of Zoom)

Insane 83X optical zoom camera. This is more than perfect for a traveler camera. It is little bit heavier than other cameras but camera features justifies an added weight and still makes it best compact camera 2017 has in “store” for you. High resolution viewfinder shows electronically processed feed. Nikon P900 has very fast auto focus which is remarkable and you will like it specially if you are into wild life photography. Color reproduction is at level best, and the image quality is very fine. Specially the macro shots are very impressive unlike other superzoom cameras. If you have shaky hands then this is the camera you must go for, it has tremendously super image stabilization. Highlight for this camera is the Versatility and zoom range it offers over any DSLR camera in the market.

4. Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX400V

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX400V Wi-Fi Digital Camera

There are many positive things about this camera but the fact that new cameras by other manufacturers have outclassed this camera which doesn’t leave any reason for me to recommend this camera. It was the best compact camera once but today in 2017 you got other options to consider. I have used Sony Cyber-Shot DSC HX300 before and I am still a great fan of Sony. Value of this camera must have been competitive as compared to other similar products in the market. So my call will be to Wait for Panasonic DC-FZ80K Lumix which is priced at the same price and has lot more better features. Anyways this camera has 20.4MP Exmor R CMOS Sensor , Wi-fi connectivity and some cool features like GPS tagging , 4K quality still image output via HDMI2. Is this the best compact camera 2017 suggest for you, may be not.

Zoom  = 50x        |        Aperture (wide angle)  =  f/2.8      |     Weight  =    660 g        |       Video  = 1080p @ 50Fps          |        Max ISO  =   12800       |          MegaPixel  = 20.4 MP        |

5. Nikon COOLPIX B700

Nikon COOLPIX B700 Digital Camera

This is another compact zoom camera by Nikon with some decent features. Great picture quality is the Highlight of this camera. It has a flip out LCD screen which is great for video recording. It also has a digital viewfinder and max shutter speed for this camera is 1/4000 of a second. It is Much lighter than Nikon P900 which also reduces it size comparatively. Nikon B700 Shoots very high resolution UHD (3840×2160) video but at a lower frame rate, Nikon P900 has 40% faster continuous shooting as compared to Nikon B700. UHD 4K Video Recording at 30p and Built-In Wi-Fi with NFC & Bluetooth BLE are the key features of this camera.  When it comes to making a decision to buy this camera, Canon SX60 is worth comparing.

Zoom  = 60x        |        Aperture (wide angle)  =  f/3.3      |     Weight  =    565 g        |       Video  = UHD @ 30fps          |        Max ISO  =   3200       |          MegaPixel  = 20.2 MP        |

6. Nikon Coolpix L340

Nikon Coolpix L340 20.2 MP Digital Camera with 28x Optical Zoom and 3.0-Inch LCD (Black)

This is an excellent 20.2 mega pixel camera within $200 range. 28X optical zoom along with 20.2 MP CD sensor really good picture with very little color distortion. The sensor takes good quality low light photos and videos. Still the photos above ISO 400 captures some noise. This camera has very basic controls and it is very user friendly to work with. It is obviously not the professional camera but it a handy and compact camera for beginners in 2017 , travelers, office use or simply if you has to buy any camera to have it with you then this is the one you should buy. HD 720p videos doesnt offer much value since these days mobiles can also capture 1080P videos.I would recommend it to anyone who wants to begin photography and doesn’t want to spend $300+ on a DSLR this is the best compact camera 2017 offers for you.

Zoom  = 28x        |        Aperture (wide angle)  =  f/3.1      |     Weight  =    430 g        |       Video  = 720p @ 30fps          |        Max ISO  =   1600       |          MegaPixel  = 20.2 MP        |
