Cell-phone cameras are fine for snapping everyday things, like avocado toast or the occasional goofy selfie. But for momentous occasions (and, for most people, there are many coming up, from bridal showers and ball games to fur-flung trips and long-awaited weddings), only real cameras will do. Fortunately, for those of us who don't care to pack a separate bag for photo equipment, or use up brain space learning how to use it, there are plenty of compact, intuitive models that will suit even thrifty types. Here are a few worth considering, depending on how you plan on spending the coming months. Stash one in your bag and let the summer memories begin.
