For all their benefits, there are plenty of criticisms to be had, especially on the creative front. Smartphone cameras are, for some, everything one could want from a camera. For others, they lack the control and creative freedom that makes photography so interesting.

Twelve years after Panasonic’s princely fixed-lens LX100 camera first hit shelves and eight long years after the release of its follow-up, the company has finally delivered unto its compact-hungry hordes a suitable heir: the LUMIX L10 Digital Camera, sporting the same Leica 24-75mm f/1.7-2.8 full-frame equivalent zoom lens as the LX100 II.

All the world’s a soundstage for today’s content creators. And yes, while you carry an effective production multitool in your pocket already (your smartphone), its shortcomings will eventually outweigh its convenience. The contemporary class of point-and-shoot cameras offers significant upgrades in sensor size, lens quality, video performance, and audio inputs, all within a (relatively) pocketable form factor.

Sony revives its compact, fixed-lens, full-frame camera line with the announcement of the RX1R III Digital Camera. Coming nearly a decade after the RX1R II, the new camera stuffs the Sony a7CR's high-resolution 61MP sensor and BIONZ XR processor into the same incredibly small form factor as its predecessor. It also boasts the same fixed Zeiss Sonnar T* 35mm f/2 lens, now strengthened by Sony's AI-powered autofocus, along with a redesigned top
