As we wind down 2014, many photographers are thinking about year-end purchases and gifts. For those who appreciate quality and nimbleosity, I've published my recommendations for mirrorless and premium compact cameras in the post, The Gift-Giver's Guide to Premium Compact and Mirrorless Cameras on the lynda.com Article Center.
The guide is organized by four categories. Here are those categories and an overview of the cameras that I think have the right stuff.
The Well-Heeled Traveler
- Panasonic LUMIX DMC-LX100 ($899)
- Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 III ($798)
- Canon PowerShot G7 X ($699)
