compact camera
Small fixed-lens shooter
A compact camera is a small, portable camera designed for casual photography, with the lens and body integrated into a single unit.
Unlike DSLRs or mirrorless cameras, compact cameras don't accept interchangeable lenses.
They prioritize convenience over manual control: She keeps a compact camera in her purse for spontaneous shots.
Also called a point-and-shoot.
