Compact and fixed-lens cameras, including some full-frame fixed-lens models, compared on official manufacturer specification tables. We score official effective megapixels, official maximum continuous shooting, official native stills ISO maximum and official in-camera stabilization (in-body, lens-shift or optical when the table states it). Missing official fields are shown as Not listed and score at the category minimum.

"Not listed" means the official manufacturer specification table we used does not publish that figure. Prices show "Check price" until a retailer feed provides a current price.
Lithium-ion camera batteries can overheat or catch fire if they are damaged, charged with an unapproved charger, or packed incorrectly for air travel. Use the official battery and charger, follow airline and TSA lithium-battery rules, and never point a camera or lens at the sun through an optical viewfinder. Keep straps and bodies secured so a camera cannot fall and injure someone. Confirm the current official specification with the maker and the retailer before you buy.

Buying guide: how to choose the right compact camera
Fixed-lens full-frame compacts sit with other compacts
Cameras such as the Leica Q series or Sony RX1R are ranked here as compact or fixed-lens cameras, not with interchangeable-lens full-frame bodies, so official lens interchangeability does not mix the tables. Official effective megapixels, official burst rate, official native stills ISO maximum and official in-camera stabilization are still the scored fields.
In-camera stabilization can be optical or in-body
On compact cameras we record official stills stabilization as yes when the official table states in-body, lens-shift or optical compensation. Official CIPA stop ratings, when published, are extra details and are not scored. If the table is silent, the field is Not listed.
What “Not listed” means
If continuous shooting or a native stills ISO maximum is missing from the official table we fetched, the field is Not listed and scores at the category minimum. We do not fill gaps from retailer listings or reviews.
Safety
Lithium-ion camera batteries can overheat or catch fire if they are damaged, charged with an unapproved charger, or packed incorrectly for air travel. Use the official battery and charger, follow airline and TSA lithium-battery rules, and never point a camera or lens at the sun through an optical viewfinder. Keep straps and bodies secured so a camera cannot fall and injure someone. Confirm the current official specification with the maker and the retailer before you buy.
How this ranking is calculated
Score = weighted average of normalised specs, out of 10. Full method
Official effective megapixelsThe official effective stills pixel count, expressed in megapixels. When a Japanese official table publishes the figure in 万画素 (units of 10,000 pixels), we convert it to megapixels and label that unit conversion computed. Scale: 12 → 68 MP.
30%
Official maximum continuous shootingThe official maximum continuous-shooting rate in frames per second, including official high-speed electronic or custom modes when the table lists them. Official rates above 120 fps are clamped at the reference best so one limited custom mode does not dominate the ranking. Restrictions printed on the official table appear as extra wording. Scale: 3 → 120 fps.
25%
Official native stills ISO maximumThe official standard or native stills ISO range maximum, not extended or video-only figures when the table separates them. Official maxima above ISO 102,400 are clamped at the reference best. This is a published sensitivity ceiling, not a noise test. Scale: 3200 → 102400.
25%
Official in-camera stabilizationOfficial in-camera stills stabilization (in-body, lens-shift or optical), recorded as yes or no when the official table states it. Official CIPA stop ratings, when published, are shown as extra details and are not scored. If the official table we used does not state whether stabilization is included, the field is Not listed and scores at the category minimum.
Do you test these compact and fixed-lens cameras in a lab?
No. Rankings use only figures published on official manufacturer specification tables, each linked on the product page. We do not publish prices, customer ratings or hands-on test scores.
What does official maximum continuous shooting include?
We record the highest official stills continuous-shooting rate on the specification table we used, including official high-speed electronic or custom modes when the table lists them. The official wording, including any restrictions, is shown as an extra specification. The rate is not a burst we measured. Official rates above 120 fps — currently the Canon EOS R3 official custom electronic 195 fps mode — are clamped at the 120 fps reference best so that one limited custom mode does not dominate the ranking.
Which ISO figure do you score?
The official standard or native stills ISO range maximum, not an extended or video-only ceiling when the table separates them. Official maxima above ISO 102,400 — for example the Ricoh GR IV Monochrome official standard-output range of ISO 160 to ISO 409,600, or Leica tables that list ISO 200,000 — are clamped at the ISO 102,400 reference best. This is a published sensitivity ceiling, not a noise test.
Why is in-body or in-camera stabilization Not listed on some cameras?
The official specification table we used did not state whether stills stabilization is included. We do not fill that gap from a review or a retailer listing, and we do not assume the feature is present or absent. Not listed scores at the lowest published value in the category, so a missing figure never outranks a published one. Official CIPA stop ratings, when a table publishes them, are extra details and are not scored.
How do you handle kits, colorways or special finishes?
When official scored specifications are identical, we keep one page and note the other official listings under “Also listed by the maker as.” Medium-format bodies are not in this catalog.
