There are several different types of cameras, each suitable for a different user. Here’s a quick rundown.

Digital Single-Lens Reflex (Digital SLR or DSLR cameras)

These classic digital cameras look like old film SLRs. DSLRs use a mirror system for an optical viewfinder. They are usually larger and tougher than other cameras. DSLRs also have interchangeable lenses. Examples include the Canon EOS range.

Mirrorless cameras

Mirrorless cameras are smaller and lighter than DSLRs. They do not have a mirror system or optical viewfinder. These cameras often have advanced autofocus and high-quality video features. Many professional photographers prefer them. Like DSLRs, they have interchangeable lenses. Examples include the Panasonic Lumix range.

Compact cameras

Compact cameras have a fixed lens that cannot be changed. Some look like DSLRs and have big zoom lenses; these are called bridge cameras. There are also smaller compacts, known as point-and-shoot cameras, which focus on being portable and affordable.

Action cameras

Action cameras are built to withstand tough conditions. They are often waterproof, freezeproof, and shockproof. Despite their small size, they are advanced devices. They can shoot 4K or Full HD video, making them great for vlogging. A well-known example is the DJI Osmo Action.

Instant cameras

At Wex, we have classic Film cameras. This includes the newest Instant cameras from Fujifilm Instant cameras and Polaroid.

What is a good inexpensive digital camera?

If you're looking for an affordable digital camera, compact models from the Canon PowerShot V1, Nikon COOLPIX and Sony Cyber-shot ranges are worth considering. These cameras offer straightforward controls, convenient portability and optical zoom capabilities, making them suitable for everyday photography. Alternatively, buying a second-hand mirrorless camera can provide excellent image quality and greater creative flexibility without the cost of buying new.

What should I look for when buying a digital camera?

The best digital camera depends on what you want to photograph and your budget. Important features to consider include sensor size, autofocus performance, image stabilisation, lens compatibility and video capabilities. For most photographers, a resolution of around 20–24 megapixels is more than sufficient for everyday photography and high-quality prints. If you're interested in wildlife, sports or travel photography, features such as continuous shooting speed, zoom range and portability may be particularly important.

Why choose a mirrorless digital camera?

Mirrorless cameras combine advanced technology with versatile features, making them an excellent choice for beginners and experienced photographers alike. They offer fast, accurate autofocus, electronic viewfinders, impressive image quality and excellent video capabilities. With interchangeable lenses and a wide range of models available from brands including Canon, Nikon, Sony and Fujifilm, mirrorless cameras provide the flexibility to explore everything from everyday photography to wildlife, sports and professional content creation.

Are digital cameras a thing of the past?

Not at all. While smartphones have become the preferred choice for everyday snapshots, dedicated digital cameras continue to offer significant advantages, including larger sensors, optical zoom, interchangeable lenses and greater control over your images. Compact digital cameras have also experienced renewed popularity, particularly older models from the early 2000s. Their distinctive colours, built-in flash and nostalgic image quality appeal to photographers looking to recreate the retro aesthetic associated with Y2K photography.

What's the best digital camera for beginners?

Entry-level mirrorless cameras are an excellent choice for beginners, combining user-friendly controls with the flexibility to develop your photography skills. Models such as the Canon EOS R50, Nikon Z50 II and Sony A6700 offer reliable autofocus, automatic shooting modes and interchangeable lenses. When choosing your first camera, consider your budget, the types of photography you're interested in and whether you need features such as a vari-angle screen or 4K video. Starting with a versatile kit lens is often a practical and affordable option.

What digital camera gives a vintage look?

Compact digital cameras from the early 2000s are particularly popular for creating a nostalgic, vintage-inspired look. Older Canon PowerShot, Nikon COOLPIX and Sony Cyber-shot models can produce distinctive images with softer detail, characteristic colours and the direct-flash appearance associated with Y2K photography. Alternatively, modern cameras such as those in the Fujifilm X Series offer film simulations and creative colour settings, allowing you to achieve a retro-inspired aesthetic while benefiting from modern autofocus and image quality.
