All cameras

6 compact cameras with 4K video from DJI, Sony, Yifecial and more. Most cost $798 to $1,498, and half cost less than $1,014.

Compact and point-and-shoot cameras whose listing states 4K video: fixed-lens cameras small enough for a pocket or a bag.

We do not pick by hand: a camera is here because its listed specs pass the checks.
