Design
The type of camera.
The type of viewfinder that the camera has.
The device is protected with extra seals to prevent failures caused by dust, raindrops, and water splashes.
A higher screen resolution provides a sharper image, making it easier to review your photos.
An electronic viewfinder (EVF) with a higher resolution provides a sharper image, producing a view comparable in quality with the one displayed on an optical viewfinder.
The focus motor moves the lens in order to autofocus. For system cameras, having a focus motor in the camera's body allows you to use a wide range of lenses, including lenses which do not have their own focus motor. For compact cameras, a focus motor is usually built-in.
Flip-out screens can be useful for tricky shots.
With 100% coverage, you can compose the image correctly when you capture the photo. With less than full coverage, you may have to crop your photos afterward to get them looking perfect.
The size of the screen (measured diagonally).
Optics
One of the most important aspects of a camera is the size of its sensor. A larger sensor will capture more light, which results in improved low-light performance, dynamic range, and general image quality.
focus points

The more focus points the more flexibility in picking which part of the scene to focus on. They also give the image sensor a better probability in identifying the right area of the scene to focus on in more automatic modes.
The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the main camera. A higher megapixel count means that the camera is capable of capturing more details. However, the megapixel count is not the only important element determining the quality of an image.
With a higher light sensitivity (ISO level), the sensor absorbs more light. This can be used to capture moving objects using a fast shutter speed, or to take images in low light without using a flash.
Expanded ISO allows you to go beyond the native ISO. It does this by digitally enhancing the image output. The resulting image will have less quality than when staying within the native ISO range, but it can be useful in certain situations.
With sensor shift, the image sensor (rather than the lens) moves to counterbalance any vibration of the camera. This means the image will be stabilised regardless of what lens is being used.
The number of frames per second that can be captured in continuous drive mode when using the mechanical shutter.
With AF tracking, once you choose the subject and press the shutter release part way down, as the subject moves, the autofocus will follow it. No more out of focus shots.
Phase-detection autofocus is much faster than a contrast detection autofocus, allowing for sharper images.
Videography
The maximum resolution available for videos shot with the main camera. Although it may be possible to choose among other frame rates, those recordings usually have lower resolutions.
A phase-detection autofocus system is faster than a contrast detection autofocus system. Even when recording scenes with a lot of fast movements, the videos are sharp and clear.
When recording movies they stay focussed and sharp.
A microphone port allows connecting external high-end or specialized microphones.
With a standard mini jack socket, you can use the device with most headphones.
A stereo microphone allows to record audio files or movies in stereo without an external microphone.
A timelapse shows a long passage of time sped up. A series of photographs taken from the same position over a long period is joined together to create a short video. It is great way to capture things like the setting sun, or clouds moving across the sky.
movie bitrate

The higher the movie recording bitrate the better the movie quality with more and crispier details and less compression artifacts.
More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.
Battery
CIPA is an independent, standard measurement that determines how many shots a camera can take before the battery dies.
The battery is removable and can be replaced by the user if broken.
The battery can be recharged and used over again.
An indicator shows you when the device has low battery.
Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store. More battery power can be an indication of longer battery life.
Features
The device can connect to Wi-Fi.
Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows you to easily transfer data between different devices, such as smartphones, tablets and computers.
It has two memory card slots, allowing you to store more photos without switching cards. This is particularly useful on long shoots when you need more space.
The camera can take a series of shots, shifting the sensor slightly with each one. These can then be combined to create an extremely high-resolution image. It’s particularly useful for things like photographing artwork.
A raw image file contains minimally processed data from the image sensor. Raw files are so named because they are not yet processed and therefore are not ready to be printed or edited with a bitmap graphics editor.
It is capable of shooting stills in a lossless compressed raw format. This has all the advantages of shooting raw, while taking up much less storage space. The smaller file size also allows quicker read/write speeds.
The Wi-Fi versions supported by the device.
This technology allows the users to use their smartphone as a remote control for the device.
Devices with a HDMI or mini HDMI port can transfer high definition video and audio to a display.

Perhaps the best Bridge with a 2/3" sensor.

After countless comparisons and over 2 years of both casual and professional use, I can assert that this little Bridge camera is spectacular. Listing all its useful features would take too long, so I'll highlight the most relevant ones and their pros and cons. The handling is superb, and the build quality is really good. However, the grip's rubber tends to peel off, as does the aluminum frame around the lens. When turned on, the slightest jolt can throw off the focusing system, so it has to be turned off and on again. After all, these are sophisticated objects that require careful handling. Its main photographic limitation is the physically small lens, which results in lower sensitivity, and photos in backlit, dusk, or low light conditions may appear grainy, and even the 'superfast' focusing is affected. On the plus side, everything else it does extraordinarily well. There are numerous setting options, but even just using it in Auto mode is really fun. The 180° panorama is exceptional, although it sometimes acts up vertically, while the 360° is too difficult to use. The zoom is noteworthy at '1440mm' and despite the aperture, with good lighting, you can snap and make stunning videos even from a considerable distance. The adjustable display makes it very versatile, and the output matches what the lens sees. However, the colors sometimes deviate from what the human eye perceives, but this is a problem common to all non-professional cameras. There are specific programs available for post-production. The HDR and RAW functions are a bit incomprehensible since specialized software is required to use them, thus rendering them essentially useless. When used with additional 'Super Macro' adapters like the 'Reinox 250', one can capture 'MICROSCOPIC' insect details in the order of tenths of millimeters with astounding resolution and quality. The Snap Bridge function allows full remote control of the camera for photo and video shooting via a smartphone, which is quite cool. The videos, even in pure 4K, are of high quality, largely thanks to the audio zoom feature that perhaps only this camera possesses. Even slow-motion shots do not disappoint. The battery lasts a long time and recharges quite slowly through the camera via a USB cable + power supply.
