Adventure Cameras

The adventure cameras here blend the ruggedness and waterproofness of action cams like GoPros with the image quality and features of standard compact cameras. They're designed as go-anywhere cameras ideally suited to travel, vacation, and adventure.

To qualify for this category, they must be waterproof or at least robustly water resistant (without external housings), highly portable, and have the kind of features and image quality one expects from compact cameras or mirrorless cameras. The latter criteria, in particular, is what sets them apart from action cameras such as GoPros.
