>>3082171Not knowing your budget (cheap means $100 or $300?) my advice would be:
- Ignore "superzoom" bridge cameras that resemble small DSLRs in shape
- Look at sensor size instead of megapixels (pic related). Bigger sensor = better picture quality, easier to take clear pictures in low light conditions.
- Compacts AFAIK go as high as APS-C. Try to get at least a 2/3" sensor (don't mistake with 1/2.3"!). Smaller than that is dangerously approaching smartphone cam sensors and a high-end smartphone you might already have in your pocket will most likely take better photos.
Try to narrow your search down with this info + your budget and come back with more details so we can help you better.
