7 Best Point and Shoot Camera Under 100 in 2024
Most smartphone cameras have inadequate shooting features. 
But any point and shoot camera have optical zoom (changing the perspective of shots), larger in-built sensor, and a powerful flash (great for backlit/ low light environments).
I’ve reviewed the best point and shoot camera under 100. Summary: I recommend Sony DSC-HX9V or Sony DSCW800/B 20.1 MP as the best point and shoot camera under 100.
Reviews: 7 Best Point and Shoot Camera Under 100 in 2024
1. Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX9V 16.2 MP Exmor R CMOS Camera – #1 Pick
They allow multi-shot image processing, high-speed burst filming, and slow-motion video. Forget the ‘okay’ smartphone images (noisy, blurry & soft) that’ll look bad on large screens.

2. Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W800 Digital Camera (360 sweep panorama)- #2 Pick
Next up is the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W800. It’s an amazing kit that’ll help you capture those treasurable memories.
With 5 times zoom, this camera will take great detailed 20 megapixel photos with its CCD sensor. It’s easy to use and you can easily pick up the settings you’ll require to use.

This point and shoot camera can also comfortably sit on your tripod. It’s so small that you can just fit into your pocket as you move out or travel. But it doesn’t have WIFI or dynamic range.
Further, if you deem that photo won’t serve the required purpose, you can shoot a high-definition video with sound, and using the panoramic shots, you can capture your 360 degrees in a single sweep at a touch of a single button.

3. Nikon COOLPIX A10 with 5x optical zoom (720p HD videos) – #3 Pick
This Nikon COOLPIX A10 comes with the 16.1MP CCD sensor and 5 times optical zoom lens and has an ergonomic build.
It works on 3 AA batteries (luckily the conventional AA batteries that can take about 700 shots), has, a 230k-dot LCD monitor, Smart Portrait mode and shoots 720p HD video.
Ergonomically, this camera is relatively light (about 160g), ultra-compact, has the textured thumb rest and its video record button is raised. It has a native ISO range that ranges from 80 – 1600 sensitivity (for low-light environments) with a 4608 x 3456-pixel resolution.
With the 16.1MP CCD sensor, you can easily record HD 720p video and still high-resolution images. In addition, it has a 5 times Optical Zoom Lens that you can extend using a 4 times digital zoom.

4. Kodak PIXPRO Friendly Zoom FZ53-RD 16MP with 5X Optical Zoom
This Pixpro FZ53 is a budget-friendly point-and-shoot camera that comes with a 5x zoom lens for any casual photo shooter. However, this camera has no wireless connectivity and could disappoint relatively on video and image quality.
Through the EV compensation, it’s possible to darken or brighten your scenes. On digital stabilization, Kodak Pixpro FZ53 has the all-important anti-shake. In addition, it has Panorama, Movie, and Portrait among other modes.
With the auto mode activated, it’s possible to toggle macro focusing after switching off the camera’s flash. However, this camera only comes with a 2.7-inch LCD – which is relatively small, compared to other point and shoot cameras reviewed above.
Sadly, for continuous image shooting (particularly at 16 megapixels) you’ll have a 3.3 seconds wait time between the shots. Further, the camera’s autofocus is slow. Read Also: Soundproof Earmuffs For Sleeping.
5. Nikon L35AF Camera – Point and Shoot
Nikon L35AF Camera (popularly as Pikaichi – like great quality) is also a budget-friendly, portable, & durable point and shoot camera.
It comes with a 35mm F/2.8 lens that’s multi-functional, sharp and fast. 
I found it simple to use the L35AF camera – including using flash, focusing, or aperture setting. It has the AF spot at the model of its viewfinder – that also has the analog lever & diagram in showing the focus distance.
You can set its ASA/ISO through turning the ring around the camera’s lens. It’s interestingly powered by 2 economical AA batteries – not the specialized types of batteries.

It comes with a large LCD screen, image stabilization in-built flash and the red-eye reduction that’ll allow you to take high-quality snapshots.
