Compact cameras are back in fashion, as people want to capture reality rather than AI edited hyper-realities, or perhaps people just want to take photos and capture moments without hundreds of notifications popping up on the screen. Either way, there are some amazing compact cameras available, and the Sony RX100 VII/A is one of them, capable of taking amazing photos, in a surprisingly small camera body, and right now you can find it with an extra 10% off at certain retailers.

There aren’t many compact cameras left anymore, and those that are left are often expensive, with the old saying being true now more than ever: you get what you pay for, and the other classic: buy cheap, buy twice. Budget compact cameras, under $4/500 often use smaller sensors, and don’t offer the quality on offer from the Sony RX100 VII. So buying one when there is a sale, or offer, like this is a great time to buy. If you’re looking for more deals, head over to the deals page, or if you want to save even more money, have a look at the best second-hand compacts.
