Canon PowerShot V1

The V1 is sold to video creators, but its 1.4-type sensor, larger than the 1-inch chips in the Sony RX100 and Canon G7 X, makes it a serious stills camera too. Its zoom starts at 16mm equivalent, wider than any other zoom here, which helps in tight rooms, narrow streets and arm's-length selfies, and it runs to 50mm at f/2.8-4.5. A built-in 3-stop ND filter allows slow shutter speeds or wide apertures in bright light, and a cooling fan lets it record video for longer. It launched at $899 and is often discounted to about $849, one of the better-value ways to get a big sensor and a zoom in one small body.
