Camera With WiFi?! Our Top Choices To Buy In 2019

Social media is a dominant force in our society. Everyone wants the instant gratification of sharing their favorite photos easily and quickly to their favorite social app! If you want beautiful photos, even more so than the gorgeous photos a Pixel 3 XL can take, and instant upload to your social apps, make sure to invest in a camera with WiFi!

Best Budget: Nikon COOLPIX B500

The Nikon COOLPIX B500 is the best option if a cheap camera with Wi-Fi is what you’re after. The camera is 3.74 x 3.08 x 4.47 inches in measurement and 1.19 pounds in weight, and that is quite good for a camera its price.

Perhaps one of the striking characteristics of the B500 is its 40x optical zoom and 80x dynamic fine zoom that allows you to have a clear shot from wherever you are. There is also a 16-megapixel low-light sensor, a three-inch LCD screen that can be adjusted to different angles, 1080p HD video recording at 30 frames per second, and also the ability to transfer photos to smartphones and tablets using Wi-Fi, NFC and Bluetooth.

Considering its relatively small price, it is amazing what this camera can do and reviewers on Amazon share this feeling of surprise too. However, they point out that the video quality leaves much to be desired, so it is better used for photos than videos. Although, when we consider the low price of the camera, this is not all that surprising. If you want a cheap camera with Wi-Fi, then this should be your top pick too.

Best Overall: Nikon COOLPIX B700

There are not many good reviews for point-and-shoot cameras, with most of this bad rep caused by increasingly competitive cameras installed in smartphones. This is where the Nikon COOLPIX B700 comes in, to show the power, performance and versatility of cameras in the point-and-shoot space.

Amongst its features is a 20.2 MP CMOS sensor ideal for low-light conditions, Full 4K video recording, target-finding autofocus (AF), and full manual exposure. You should care about the full manual exposure if you are a photography expert and if you are interested in taking your photography game to the next level by setting the ISO, shutter and aperture settings yourself—something smartphone cameras don’t allow you to do. Also, there is a stunning 60x zoom through the solid NIKKOR lens. For its price, it is a solid all-round impressive shooter for a point-and-shoot camera, and it offers more than one thing when it is in your possession especially if you want a camera with Wi-Fi.

Best Auto Sensor: Canon PowerShot SX620 HS

Crossover point-and shoot devices offer more versatility than the compact camera you are used to, and they are designed for this class of people. The Canon PowerShot SX620 HS is just like how top pick, the COOLPIX B700, as it provides for people who want the best of both worlds. It has a 20.2-megapixel high-sensitivity CMOS sensor that allows you take stunning, high-resolution images that would beat those taken by smartphone cameras any day.

There is also a 25x optical zoom, Full HD (1080p) video recording, intelligent image stabilization, and, yes, Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity. The fact that you can also engage the remote shooting function to use a smartphone as a control makes it one of the best cameras with Wi-Fi to buy in 2019.

We would have loved to have a touch screen along with it, but we wouldn’t want to get too greedy now, would we?

Best Design: Canon PowerShot ELPH 360

Design is always based on personal feelings, but for us we love the PowerShot ELPH 360 for its reliable compact form factor in terms of quality. The PowerShot ELPH comes in blue, red and black and it is just under five ounces in weight, making it the perfect portable camera to slip into your pocket. It also has a 20.2-megapixel, 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor, plus a DIGIC 4+ Image Processor, which work together to produce a top-notch image quality. It can also capture videos in HD (1080p HD) and it has a 12x optical zoom and an optical image stabilizer.

It contains within it a limited ISO setting limit of 3200, meaning it lacks quality in low-light settings, however it has a beautiful three-inch, 461,000-pixel LCD screen that will make you forget this in a heartbeat. If you are in the market for design, it is one of the best cameras with Wi-Fi to try out.
