Part ultra-portable interchangeable lens camera and part hacker-friendly DIY camera, the Olympus AIR A01 is one unique device.
Again, it's not unique per se compared to its predecessors from past years, but a far-reaching redesign and the fact that it creates images which put you right back in the moment like no other camera from 2015 can saw it take the top prize in this category. In the end, though, Ricoh prevailed with its amazingly fun Ricoh Theta S, a one-click spherical panorama shooter that can now capture high-definition spherical panoramic video. Some of us argued for the interesting Olympus AIR, a camera whose open philosophy makes it well suited to hackers and creators, but whose design philosophy shows some similarities to Sony's QX1 lens-style camera from last year.
Here, there was some debate amongst the team.
What a combination!Īnd that just leaves the niche models: We're also offering an award for the most unique camera of 2015. But while we couldn't bring ourselves to call it "compact" - this is a coat-pocket model rather than a pants-pocket one - perhaps the most exciting for our money was the Sony RX1R II, a full-frame enthusiast fixed-lens model pairing superb image quality and cutting-edge tech. And of course, sensor size is another tool with which the compact camera can continue to offer a compelling advantage over the smartphone, so our Best Premium Compact Camera award returns with the excellent Sony RX100 IV taking top honors.
