Whether you're an amateur photographer, a professional photographer, or a beginner, there are plenty of reasons to buy a new camera in 2021.

We have collected the TOP 10 best cameras of 2021 - including the best cameras in the list according to TehnObzor.
What is a digital camera?
A compact digital camera is a small, portable camera that is designed to make photography easy and accessible to everyone.
The idea is that you can point the camera at what you want to do and just press the "shoot" button and the camera will handle all the technical stuff. A digital camera will shoot in "auto" mode by default and try to select the best settings for the conditions.
The compact digital camera is designed to take great photos without having to understand the basic mechanics of the camera or fiddle with manual settings and dials. However, more advanced compact cameras allow those with more photography knowledge to use manual controls and have a number of professional-quality features.

Advantages of digital cameras
Here are the main advantages of digital cameras:
- Specifically designed for photography and easy to use, they can be used effectively by almost anyone.
- Better image quality than most smartphones.
- Portable, light and small. Most models fit easily into pockets, purses and backpacks and do not add weight to your luggage.
- Inexpensive compared to other types of cameras, and there are many good options.
- No expensive additional purchases required to use the camera. Unlike mirrorless and DSLR cameras, where you need to purchase a camera and at least one lens, the only extras you need for a digital camera are a memory card and maybe a few extra batteries.
- Ideal for capturing memories for those who plan to share photos with family and friends, post on social media or print in standard size
- Higher-end compact cameras have a number of advanced features to give you more control and can shoot with quality similar to some mirrorless cameras.
- Great for situations where you're concerned about damage to a more expensive camera, such as while hiking, rock climbing, skiing, boating, hiking, or backpacking.
Learn how to use your camera correctly
I always think you'll get more use out of your equipment if you understand the different functions, modes, and buttons it offers. While the idea is to make your photography easier, every camera has a variety of features that can help you take better photos. We recommend that you review your camera's manual or search for information about your specific camera model online.
It's also important that you understand how to turn camera features on and off if needed. For example, when traveling there are often restrictions on the use of flash photography, especially in museums that house valuable art and objects that may be damaged by light. The flash is often set to auto on compact cameras, so being able to turn those functions off and on can be really important.
Finally, learning your camera's limitations can be the difference between frustration and understanding. For example, digital cameras generally aren't very good in low light conditions, so if you're trying to take photos in a dark room or at night, you probably won't get the most ideal photo. However, you can compensate for limitations such as this by using a tripod or finding a low-light mode that helps.
