"Canon s90/s95 always gets my vote."
"If you have the money, canon g7x mark 2 or 3."
"Or g5x mark ii."
"Mad fun"
"Image Quality that Impresses"
"Compact and Portable"
"Enjoyed"
"Highly recommend that brand"

"Sony RX100 Mark VII."
"I would check out the Sony RX100 series; I think they’re up to the Mark VII now."
"I loooove my sony tx10. Powers on fast and is waterproof!"
"For low light/night, I'd go for Sony RX100 VII."
"Or don't rx100 mark v or higher."
"I would jump on a Sony RX100 Vii."
"I would jump on a Sony RX100 Vii if you have the $$."
"Previous compacts"
"Pretty compact (the lens retracts) and gives them room to grow if they want to learn more about camera settings and nicer lenses. Set it to full auto and you've got a compact point-and-shoot."
"Best value 4k30p option"

Minolta

"Superior image quality"
"Great fan"
"High quality optics - lens has a shocking 6 elements in 6 groups diagram. Simple and efficient operation. Manual ISO and advance means it has a degree of manual control while being much quieter than later P&S of the 1990s. One of the top picks IMO."

"Cheap, fairly sharp. Nice zoom range."

"Great little shooter, very compact. looks cool. The red Tomato version sells for more because they're a bit rare and a collectable. If you look for a Pop 10 you will have better luck. Looks really cool in black"

"It is fool proof (perfect for handing it to others at parties). The lens quality is very nice, on both zoom lengths. I have been impressed by its low light performance. Sometimes when I set the flash to auto, I expected it to flash but it did not, which resulted in beautiful moody pictures."
