List of large sensor fixed-lens cameras

This is a list of large sensor fixed-lens cameras, also known as premium compact cameras or high-end point-and-shoot cameras. These are digital cameras with a non-interchangeable lens and a 1.0‑type (“1‑inch”) image sensor or larger, excluding smartphones and camcorders.

Without a lens mount, a substantial portion of the lens assembly can be fitted inside of the camera body right up to the sensor. This makes it possible to fit a larger sensor or a lens with a larger aperture compared to a camera and interchangeable lens combination of similar size.

The Leica Q series, Fujifilm X100 series, and Ricoh GR series are popular cameras in this category. This list excludes cameras with removable sensors, such as the Phase One XC.

Almost all zoom models with larger sensors have been discontinued in favor of their interchangeable lens counterparts that offer more flexibility.

Current compact models market themselves as vlogging cameras (e.g. Sony ZV-1 series and Canon G7 X series) or travel zoom cameras (e.g. Sony RX100 series and Panasonic ZS series), emphasizing functionality that smartphone cameras still lack.

Current large models are bridge cameras (e.g. Sony RX10 series and Panasonic FZ series) that include all-in-one superzoom lenses for maximum versatility.
