In best pocket camera 2016 I will shortly review 3 of the top new pocket cameras of 2016. The best selling Canon Powershot, it's closest competitor the Nikon Coolpix and the cheap but functional Polaroid CIA-1237RC.

In terms of brand you can't do much better than Canon. They have been making high quality cameras for decades.

The stylish Nikon Coolpix Ultra-slim 4x wide-angle zoom is a pleasure to carry and fun to use with its 27 mm wide angle coverage.

Comparing the Nikon and Canon I would say the Canon takes better pictures, but the Nikon is easier to use, especially for novices.

The Scene Auto Selector leaves you to focus on your picture composition by choosing the best scene setting mode.

Dedicated buttons at the rear are easy to switch between shooting and playback. The contours of the body provide a large thumb rest for a firm grip. The Coolpix L22 is a combines style with functionality.

Many people buy the Coolpix L22 as their first digital camera due to its simplicity and functionality. In general they have not been disappointed.

According to Polaroid this gives you all the bells and whistles of a professional camera with the ease of use of a point and click. The 3x optical and 4x digital zoom, puts you right in the action. The standard 2.7 inch preview finder provides excellent photo framing before clicking.

When the shutter is pressed 3 pictures will be taken in one shot. This will make sure any quick movement is not lost and the ‘burst’ can be printed and made into a flip book.
