For example

Flip-out screens can be useful for tricky shots.

An optical viewfinder (or OVF) allows the photographer to compose a shot while seeing exactly what the lens will capture. OVFs have no time lag and require no power - as opposed to electronic viewfinders, which can drain battery life. OVFs are also better in low light situations.

A hot shoe can be used to attach an external flash, as well as light meters, viewfinders, rangefinders and other attachments.

The more focus points the more flexibility in picking which part of the scene to focus on. They also give the image sensor a better probability in identifying the right area of the scene to focus on in more automatic modes.

With AF tracking, once you choose the subject and press the shutter release part way down, as the subject moves, the autofocus will follow it. No more out of focus shots.

Phase-detection autofocus is much faster than a contrast detection autofocus, allowing for sharper images. Show more

With a higher light sensitivity (ISO level), the sensor absorbs more light. This can be used to capture moving objects using a fast shutter speed, or to take images in low light without using a flash. Show more

AVCHD (Advanced Video Coding High Definition) is a file-based format for the digital recording and playback of high-definition video. It's a standard popular among professional cameras and camcorders.

A stereo microphone allows to record audio files or movies in stereo without an external microphone.

A microphone port allows connecting external high-end or specialized microphones.

More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.

Best

With a standard mini jack socket, you can use the device with most headphones. Show more

CIPA is an independent, standard measurement that determines how many shots a camera can take before the battery dies.

Best

The battery is removable and can be replaced by the user if broken. Show more

The battery can be recharged and used over again.

An indicator shows you when the device has low battery.

The device has a standard memory slot (such as an SD or micro SD card slot) so that you can either extend the internal storage with affordable memory modules or you can retrieve data, such as photographs, easily from a memory card. Show more

The device can connect to Wi-Fi.

A remote control allows you to control the device remotely. The remote control can be included or optional.

Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) is a wireless standard released in 2009. It has faster transfer rates and improved security compared to its predecessors – a, b, and g.

An accelerometer is a sensor used to measure the linear acceleration of a device. A common application is detecting when a device changes between vertical and horizontal positions.

Devices with a HDMI or mini HDMI port can transfer high definition video and audio to a display.
