Compact cameras are back in a big way – but with the resurgence in trends comes limited stock and higher prices. Case in point? Canon’s mirrorless camera for beginners actually costs hundreds less than its trendiest point-and-shoot.

Canon is upping the production of some of its most popular point-and-shoot cameras. That means those cameras that the trends have made impossible to find in stock, like the Canon PowerShot G7X Mark III, should be more readily available in the coming months.
