The Sony RX1 is an attempt to achieve the impossible: the image quality and flexibility of a 35mm DSLR in the palm of your hand. With a remarkable fixed 35mm f/2 Carl Zeiss lens, 24.3-megapixel full frame sensor, and a jaw-dropping $2800 price tag, the RX1 has certainly settled all doubts about who makes the best compact digital camera on the market.

In photojournalism, good hardware can go a long way in helping you capture high-quality images, but someone who can properly use a cellphone camera is just as likely to take great photos as a novice equipped with a top-of-the-line DSLR. Knowing whether you're trying to capture spot news or shooting a photo essay is only half the battle: You also need to know how to use different cameras and which tool is appropriate for which situation.
