+++++£1349 / stuff.tv/Mavic2Pro

Superbly responsive in the air, this is the gold

standard in portable flyers.

Panasonic Lumix LX100

+++++£449 / stuff.tv/LX100

One of the most capable compacts on the

market, with superb stills and HD video.

bits from the old Spark and the Mavic Pro.

Stuff says +++++

Then most stable action cam we’ve ever used

Stuff says +++++

Small, neat and not dramatically overpriced

Stuff says +++++

Despite a few quirks, this is a stellar cam

Stuff says +++++

A dinky yet luxurious point-and-shoot

GoPro Hero8 Black

£379 / stuff.tv/Hero8Black

GoPro fends off the DJI challenge by giving

its latest flagship action cam even better

stabilisation skills plus 4K 60fps video, a

range of wide angles, waterproofing and

fast/slow timelapse capture.

Panasonic Lumix TZ200

£569 / stuff.tv/TZ200

This Panasonic compact is a significant

upgrade from the TZ100, offering extra

reach with the zoom lens, better colour

reproduction, and an improved experience

when using the electronic viewfinder.

DJI Osmo Action

£329 / stuff.tv/OsmoAction

The image stabilisation is sensational and the

face-optimised metering makes DJI’s action

cam an ideal choice for vloggers. It has some

idiosyncrasies, but this is a smart shooter that

captures great footage without faff.

Sony DSC-RX100 VI

£899 / stuff.tv/RX100VI

A true all-rounder that shoots 24fps

at full resolution and has stunningly fast

autofocus, topped off with a whopping

8x zoom lens that’s quite spectacular

for such a tiny camera.

Sony DSC-RX100 V

£679 / stuff.tv/RX100V

We wouldn’t recommend buying this camera if you already own

the old IV model, but a few improvements have ensured Sony

remains the top dog in our compacts list – and we’re keeping this

model above the newer RX100 VI simply because of the huge price

difference. It remains one of the finest point-and-shoots we’ve

ever seen, with a flexibility that few pocket cameras can muster.

While it’s still not exactly cheap, we reckon this is the cam to buy

if you want fantastic-looking snaps from your holidays.

DJI Mavic Mini

£369 / stuff.tv/MavicMini

The Mavic Mini definitely won’t be for everyone. If you want

maximum control over your footage, have no qualms about

registering your drone, need 4K capture at 60fps, are OK with

spending the best part of a grand and consider object-tracking

a must-have, you’ll want to look elsewhere. If, however, you

just want to get a fantastic balance of user experience, features,

convenience and quality at a stomachable price, the Mavic Mini

is the most accessible premium drone we’ve used to date.

Stuff says +++++

Dinky drones don’t come more feature-packed, and

bigger drones than this need to be registered. Win!

Stuff says +++++

Only a small improvement over the RX100 IV, but this

Sony is close to premium point-and-shoot perfection
