Sony DSC-WX300/W 18 MP Digital Camera
Score: 82/100
Banflower 5K Vlogging Camera
Score: 87/100Rankings
The Banflower True 5K is an entry-level point-and-shoot that offers eye-catching 80 MP stills and 5K video, a large 4" touchscreen and Wi-Fi, but suffers from a tiny sensor, lack of stabilization and a non-flip screen.
The Sony WX300 delivers a powerful 20× optical zoom and Wi-Fi in a pocket-sized body, making it a solid travel companion for daylight shooting. Its small sensor, however, hampers low-light capability and the camera is now discontinued.
