Which compact camera should I buy?

If you want something that fits in a jacket pocket, I'd look at a 1-inch sensor compact with a zoom. The long-running Sony RX100 series is the one I'd point you to first. It's the smallest step up from a phone that still feels like a proper camera.

Before you buy, think about how much you'll carry and what you'll photograph. A pocket camera you always bring beats a bigger kit that stays at home. If you want to see why a compact makes sense as a first camera, Your first camera walks through the choice. For a quick check on the three questions that matter, go to cst1 likes cameras.
