If you search on AliExpress compact cameras, the site will offer dozens of pages with the desired products.

We sifted out endless "twins" and selected from the resulting list all compact cameras that deserve attention. When creating a rating ofNot only the technical characteristics were read, but also the reviews of the buyers who attached to their reports pictures taken from the purchased cameras.

Best cheap compact cameras with AliExpress: budget up to 4000 rubles

Low prices for goods are the first and main reason why people decide to order digital cameras on Aliexpress, and not to buy them in a regular store. In this category are the most affordable options, the purchase of which will cost less than 4000 rubles. Special attention should be paid to waterproof and impact resistant devices with AliExpress. They are suitable for shooting in any conditions: in the forest, in the mountains, in the pool or in an open pond. These cameras are a little more expensive, but they will become indispensable during a trip to the sea or hiking.

5 Cewaal XJ03

Cewaal XJ03 is one of the best budget cameras on AliExpress. This model is very compact (9.5 * 5.5 * 2.5 cm), weighs less than 100 grams. Its body is made of plastic with the addition of metal. To operate the device, you will need three finger batteries, they will have to be purchased separately. Pictures are stored on a standard microSD memory card (not included). The focal length is 16-50 mm, there is a good built-in zoom (7x – 16x).

This digital camera received mostly positive user reviews, although it was not without flaws. It does not have a battery and a protective lens glass, the quality of assembly and materials leaves much to be desired. Some buyers believe that the Cewaal XJ03 is only suitable for children's games, it will not cope with serious tasks. The maximum resolution of photos is 640 * 480, then the image will simply increase without quality improvement.

4 Centechia HD268

Centechia HD268 distinguished by the presence of a second display on the "front" side of the camera, right next to the lens.In combination with water resistance, this feature allows you to make unusual underwater selfie, so this model is ideal for those who are preparing for a trip to the sea. The camera is really compact, its dimensions are only 11.3 * 6.5 * 3.2 centimeters. Its displays are of different sizes: the main one is 2.7 inches, and the front one is 1.8. Centechia HD268 has several flash modes, the ability to change the white balance, the function of continuous shooting, as well as several modes, such as "Night Portrait", "Landscape", etc. The kit includes a remote control.

The characteristics of the camera is 24 megapixel resolution, however, judging by the reviews, the seller has somewhat embellished the reality. Nevertheless, in the quality of the images, Centechia is quite pulling in the first place among all AliEx compacts. Also, the manufacturer declared a sixteen-fold zoom, but in fact the image quality at this magnification leaves much to be desired.

3 Amkov AMK-CDC3

This product of the company Amkov more than other cameras with Aliexpress worthy of the title of "compact", because its dimensions are only 9.5 * 6 * 2 cm, and weight - about 200 grams. The characteristics of the AMK-CDC3 and Ouhaobin Winait are very similar: the same simple telescopic retractable lens, the same resolution of 18 megapixels, the same focal length and size of the sensor. In fact, the difference is only in size and weight.

Amkov is powered by a lithium battery, no need to buy additional batteries. Photos are stored on an SD card, the maximum memory capacity of which can be 32 GB - this is a standard indicator for budget aliexpress cameras. The camera does not have a viewfinder, so you have to completely rely on the screen image.

2 Ouhaobin winait

Ouhaobin - a budget representative of the class of compact digital cameras. Less than 2500 rubles, you can get a resolution of 18 megapixel, seven-time zoom, three-inch LCD screen. The camera is convenient to carry, because its weight is slightly more than 200 grams. The camera, of course, is quite unpretentious, but for such a price it is impossible even to find anything on Aliexpress.

There are many familiar, but not all compact functions in the camera: software stabilization, red-eye removal, face detection and smile capture. In reviews, people often complain that the photos are too dark, even in daylight. Perhaps the problem will be solved if you set the correct settings.

1 Amkov CD-R2

The Amkov CD-R2 package is not quite typical for compact cameras: it comes with a replaceable wide-angle lens with a UV filter. The presence of such a lens allows you to make more contrast and sharp photos without sun glare in clear weather, because the filter protects the camera matrix from UV waves. Another advantage of Amkov is the presence of an optical and software stabilization system that allows for clearer images. The camera has many additional functions: face recognition system, effects overlay, etc. Rotating camera screen allows you to take a selfie or a photo from the height of the outstretched arms.

The main drawback, perhaps, is the weight of the model - 600 grams, which is quite a lot for a digital compact, especially when compared to other cameras from the rating. Also, sometimes there are problems with autofocus: for some buyers it simply does not work.

The best compact cameras with Aliexpress for kids

Almost all compact cameras with AliExpress can be called childish: they have simple controls, low price and average image quality. Manufacturers pay special attention to safety: they equip the device with a waterproof and impact-resistant casing, embed a protection function against accidental deletion of images. In this category are presented digital models with a colorful design, which will be an excellent gift for girls and boys of 8-15 years.

5 Rondaful Kids Camera

Rondaful stands out from other children's cameras with its stylish design. Instead of bright colors and colorful drawings, manufacturers preferred delicate pastel shades. You can choose blue, pink or lime body. It is waterproof and shockproof, so that even the smallest children will not break a new toy. Another distinctive feature of the model are fun frames with images of flowers, animals and cartoon characters.

The technical characteristics of the device are quite decent, considering the price: an increase of 2x – 7x, a focal length of 12–50 mm, and a face recognition function. The seller claims that the resolution of the matrix in a compact camera is 20 Mp. The digital camera is powered by a 600 mAh lithium battery. It takes 3 hours to fully charge, then Rondaful should shoot continuously for up to 6 hours. In the responses, it is reported that in fact it is discharged much earlier.

4 ACEHE D10

ACEHE D10 is available in two colors - pink and blue. The device weighs about 300 grams, its dimensions are 85 * 90 * 70 mm. The image is displayed on a 2-inch LCD screen. It has a protective film, so it will be difficult for children to scratch the screen. This compact camera standard resolution matrix - about 5 megapixels. There are built-in frames and effects, as well as the function of protecting images from accidental deletion.

In the reviews note intuitive menu and the best build quality. Plastic durable, colors in reality are as bright as in the photo. With good lighting, the pictures are clear and of high quality, the flash is not here. One of the drawbacks of the ACEHE D10 is a weak battery, compared with other models in the rating. 500 mAh capacity lasts only a couple of hours, then you have to put the camera on charge. Buyers AliExpress consider another poor packaging of goods.

3 ALLOYSEED Cartoon Kid Digital Camera

Unlike other children's cameras, ALLOYSEED has a built-in microphone and flash. Because of this, you can record video resolution of 720-1080 pixels with sound. There is a timer (2 or 10 seconds), manual or continuous shooting mode. The digital camera is powered by a 600 mAh lithium battery. The case is made of thin plastic, so it is better to keep the device away from water.

In the reviews, they note that children like the camera, it fully corresponds to the description of the seller. There is a Russian language in the menu, so even the little ones will easily understand the controls. Another advantage ALLOYSEED users consider the best equipment. The kit includes not only a camera with a charging cable, but also a cord around the neck, an instruction and a screwdriver. There are no memory cards in the kit, like other compact cameras with AliExpress. The model has one significant drawback - delivery is often delayed for several weeks.

2 Centechia Waterproof Digital Kid Camera

Centechia was created specifically for underwater photography, it is noticeable even by its design. The resolution of the camera is only 5 MP, but at least there is no doubt about the manufacturer’s honesty, because such a description looks more plausible than the clearly overestimated features of other cameras. The remaining characteristics are also quite typical for superbudgetary amateur models: maximum ISO 400, fourfold zoom, focusing at a distance of one and a half meters. Of course, this camera is not suitable for any serious photography, but you can indulge in underwater photography with it.

Centechia does not work from a battery, but from two AA batteries, which, by the way, are not included in the kit, so you need to buy them separately. There is no internal memory, like most other compact cameras, the photo and video is recorded on a microSD card with a capacity of up to 32 GB.

1 Centechia Children Kids Digital Camera

When looking at this camera it is hard to believe that he is capable of taking good pictures and even recording video, albeit without sound. The size of the device is 65 * 40 * 16 mm, outwardly it looks more like an ordinary toy than a digital camera. Nevertheless, the Centechia has a small display with a diagonal of 1.5 inches and a slot for a memory card (supports media up to 32 GB). You can charge the battery or copy the pictures to your computer using the included USB cable. It takes 2-3 hours to fully restore the battery.

The seller indicated in the description of the goods the resolution of the matrix 5 MP, but in reality this figure is unlikely to exceed 2 MP. On a small screen, photos look crisp, but when viewed from a computer, they blur. Centechia is hardly suitable for capturing memorable moments, but it will be just right for children's games. The main drawback of the device is that it does not work without a memory card, so you have to buy it in advance.
