Picking the best travel camera for your next holiday is a tough gig – that's why we're here
to help. You want something lightweight and reliable that also takes great pictures,
allowing you to make sure the memories of your trip are capture in pristine detail. This
guide should help you nd the perfect tool to get this job done.
Travel involves lots of di erent kinds of shooting. Sometimes the light is good, sometimes it
isn't. Sometimes the subject is something big and stationary like a mountain, other times it's

something fast and eeting like a bird. You may want to capture a shot of something far away,
or ll your
DSLR frame
and with a dazzling structure that's right in front of you. It's a challenge, and you
mirrorless
need a camera that's well-suited to coping with it.
Compact cameras
So which type do you choose? Let's run through the options...
Compact cameras vs DSLR and mirrorless

First up, let's take a look at DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. Not only do these cameras confer
the obvious advantage of allowing you to change lenses, they also tend to have larger
sensors, which means better quality of images and better dynamic range, improving your
options in low light. While buying a camera and a lens can be an expensive prospect, it
doesn't have to be; DSLRs and mirrorless camera can be picke dup for a bargain price, and
while we've started our list with our picks of the best DSLRs and mirrorless cameras for travel
right now, we've accounted for price when making our selections – sometimes the newest
camera isn't the most cost-e ective. DSLRs and mirrorless cameras are the best travel
cameras if you don't mind taking on a bit of extra weight and bulk in exchange for versatility
and image quality.
Alternatively, if you'd rather have a simple do-it-all package than carry around a load of spare
lenses, then a compact camera might be better. Equipping a camera with a xed lens gives
you a tidy, all-in-one shooting package, and we've picked some of the best compact cameras
around right now for the second part of our list.
Intimidated by all these options and just want something simple? Fret not: some of the best
cameras for beginners also make the best travel cameras, so these are worth a look if you're a
newbie. And whatever camera you pick, for ideas on transporting and carrying them around,
see our guide to the best camera bags and cases for some ideas here.
For the ideal travel camera you need to weigh up lots of pros and cons. Here are the things
you might want to think about:
1) Image quality: You may be going to to places that you might not get the chance to see
again, so you’ll want to take a camera that does them justice – otherwise, you might just as
well snap away with a smartphone. The best camera phones are really pretty good, but you
may want a step up in quality you can only get from a camera with a bigger sensor, typically a
mirrorless camera or a DSLR.
2) Zoom range: Will you need a camera that can shoot a whole range of subjects in a whole
range of conditions, from a sun-baked beach to a dimly-lit market, from distant mountains to
close-ups of exotic cuisine? With a DSLR or mirrorless camera you can do this with extra
lenses, but that adds weight. If you don't want this, the best bridge cameras have a huge

zoom range but they're big and bulky, so we'd recommend looking at some of the long-zoom
travel cameras
DSLR and in our list.
mirrorless
3) SizeCompact
and weight:
camerasA pocket-sized camera sounds ideal, but will you be walking around with a
shoulder bag or backpack anyway? If you're carrying water, food, clothing, maps and other
daily essentials, you might have room for a camera and a couple of lenses too. With the right
bag you might have room for a good travel tripod too.
4) Simplicity: If this a camera for the whole family, you need one that can be used in a simple
full auto mode. A cheap point-and-shoot camera might sound like the simplest solution, but
all the cameras in our list have simple full auto modes that anyone can use, so you can still
take a 'good' camera.
5) Price: The cameras in our list have a range of prices, but if this is your main criterion for
choosing a camera right now, why not take a look at our guide to the the best cheap camera
deals.
Each camera on our list is ideal for a particular type of photographer and a particular style of
travel, and we reckon one of these cameras will prove to be your perfect traveling companion.

DSLR AND MIRRORLESS
DSLR and mirrorless cameras are a little bigger and heavier than regular compact cameras,
but they give you much better image quality and have the extra exibility of interchangeable
lenses. This is especially useful for ultra-wide-angle shots of famous landmarks and amazing
interiors. They also produce much better pictures in low light, both indoors and on evening
excursions when you want to capture bright lights and oodlit buildings. Choosing the best
travel camera may mean compromising on size and weight to make sure you don't miss out
on memorable imagery.

 Very compact body

 Tiny 14-42mm 'pancake' zoom
 Only 16.1 million pixels
Olympus cameras use the Micro Four Thirds format, which uses a sensor a little smaller than
the APS-C format. The key advantage of this format is that both the cameras and the lenses
are smaller – and the OM-D E-M10 III is a little gem and one of the best mirrorless cameras
out there. Despite its small size, it packs in a twin-dial control layout that enthusiast will
admire, 5-axis in-body stabilization, 4K video and a wide selection of Olympus’s rather good.

photos. Make sure you get this camera with the 14-42mm EZ ‘pancake’ lens, though, not the
cheaper but larger ‘regular’ 14-42mm kit lens. The EZ lens o ers a 3x zoom range in a super-
slim barrel and is the perfect complement to the E-M10 III. With its combination of size,

RebelSL3/250D is a little larger than many mirrorless models, but it's still very small for a
DSLR, and if you're carrying your camera gear around in a bag rather than a pocket, you may
not even notice the di erence. Lots of people say DSLRs are old tech and mirrorless is the
future – well, here's one DSLR that can do just what a mirrorless camera can AND comes with

 24MP sensor gives great quality
 Bright and clear optical view nder
 Rear screen is xed not tilting
 Live view autofocus not the fastest
The D3500 is Nikon's latest entry-level DSLR. Compared to the Canon EOS Rebel SLR/250D, it
lacks a few features, notably a vari-angle rear screen and 4K video, but it's a lot cheaper, and
for many users these di erences won't matter. If you choose the D3500, make sure you get it
with Nikon's excellent retracting 18-55mm AF-P VR lens (some dealers may o er cheaper, less
desirable alternatives), and if you're going travelling you might want to consider Nikon's
inexpensive and lightweight 10-20mm AF-P lens too – it's brilliant for narrow streets,
expansive interiors and tall landmarks. The Nikon D3500 is limited to full HD video rather
than 4K, and its live view autofocus is a little less sophisticated than the Canon EOS Rebel
SL3/250D's, but if you're mostly interested in stills and you use the view nder more than the
rear screen, the D3500 is real bargain.

 Satisfying handling and control
 Fantastic value
 Unexceptional autofocus
 Downgraded sensor
The X-T100 from Fuji lm was lauded on release for lling a much-discussed gap in the
mirrorless camera market. It brings a sophisticated handling experience, with all the manual
control you'd expect and a satisfyingly large view nder, down to a much more manageable
price point. And now, with the news that the X-T200 is soon to be with us, that price point is
likely to get even lower. Pairing nicely with Fuji lm's 15-45mm kit lens, the X-T100 is a do-
everything camera that helps the beginner along while providing su cient depth for the
intermediate user. While its sensor isn't the sophisticated X-Trans model you'll nd in costlier
Fuji lm models, it still produces gorgeous images straight out of camera – perfect for travel
when you don't want to (or can't) spend lots of time editing.

Compact cameras
Compact cameras have pros and cons. They are smaller and lighter than mirrorless and DSLR
cameras, but they generally come with smaller sensors too, so the image quality is not usually
as good. Many of them come with much longer zoom ranges than a single mirrorless or DSLR
camera lens, but bear in mind that compact camera lenses aren't interchangeable, so choose
carefully as you can't change the lens later. The xed lenses mean you may be more
restricted in narrow streets and interior shots too because they don't got as 'wide' as ultra-
wide-angle lenses on DSLRs and mirrorless cameras.

 Big zoom for a pocket camera
Compact cameras
 High-quality 1-inch sensor
 Built-in electronic view nder
 Sharpness falls at full zoom
If you’re going travelling, the last thing you want is to be weighed down with kit – but at the
same time you’ll want a camera that can capture any kind of subject and get as close as
possible to the quality of a ‘proper’ camera. That’s what the best long-zoom compact travel
cameras get right, and the TZ200/SZ200 is right at the top of the tree. The TZ200/SZ200 has a
1-inch 20-megapixel sensor like those in many of the best compact cameras but adds in a
long-range 15x zoom lens. This covers a 24mm wide-angle view right up to a long-range
360mm equivalent telephoto setting. The TZ200/SZ200 produces excellent JPEGs images
straight from the camera and has the option of raw shooting and and 4K video. A macro
mode lets you focus on subjects just 3cm away, and Panasonic’s 4K photo mode can generate
8K images from burst sequences shot at 30 frames per second. With the 4K Photo mode you
can even choose your focus point AFTER you’ve taken the picture. This is the best travel
camera for those who want quality and versatility, but without the fuss of interchangeable
lenses.

The trouble with big sensors is that you need big lenses to go with them, so there goes any
kind of pocketability – except that Panasonic has really hit the sweet spot with the LX100 II. It
combines a Micro Four Thirds sensor not much smaller than the ASP-C sensors in most DSLRs
and mirrorless cameras, with a compact body and miniaturised lens assembly that powers
down in to a camera body slim enough to carry around anywhere. The LX100 II has a 16-
megapixel ‘multi-aspect’ sensor, which means that you can use its native 4:3 aspect ratio, the
3:2 ratio used by most DSLRs and mirrorless models or a 16:9 ‘wide’ format without cropping
the image and losing pixels. With a bigger sensor than the TZ200/ZS200, an external shutter
speed dial, lens aperture ring and aspect ratio switch, the LX100 II one of the best travel
cameras for enthusiasts and experts – you sacri ce zoom range, but gain image quality and
features.

Panasonic's TZ95/ZS80 for ne detail capture, and low light performance is also respectable
given the titchy sensor. Extras like 4K video and Sony’s very e ective Eye AF focus mode help
sweeten the deal, as does a built-in EVF. This is very small, however, and you’ll have to pop it
up from inside the camera before use, but at least the camera automatically turns itself on in
the process, saving you some time.

for its sensor size
 Pared-down controls can confuse
 No 4K video or EVF
 Slippery design
Canon makes several compact cameras with a 1-inch-size sensor, the G9 X Mark II being the
smallest. At 98.0 x 57.9 x 31.3mm and 206g, it’s so compact you really need to hold one to
appreciate how small this camera is. This does mean that the rear panel is dominated by the
3-inch screen, so physical buttons are few and they don’t include a typical 4-way navigation
dial. The pared-down dimensions also mean you don’t get an electronic view nder, but then
many EVFs on ultra-compact cameras are very small and uncomfortable to use, so you may
not be missing out too much. Another space-saving compromise is the 3x zoom lens. Its f/2
maximum aperture is respectable, but by the 84mm-equivalent max zoom, this has shrunk to
a meagre f/4.9. But if you don't mind the limited zoom range, the G9 X is the best travel
camera when you want to spend less but still get the image quality of a 1-inch sensor.

 Raw shooting and 4K video
 Excellent tough credentials
 Pocket-sized dimensions
 LCD screen only 460K dots
So we round o our list with something very di erent. For some travellers, the only thing that
matters is a camera that can stand water, ice, dust, rain and even impacts. The Olympus TG-5
might not have the zoom range or the large sensors of other cameras in our list, but if your
travel photography is based around adventure rather than sightseeing, the TG-5 is probably a
better t. With its waterproof, crush-proof, shockproof and freeze-proof design, the TG-5 will
withstand a lot more abuse than the average compact, but it's not only its tough credentials
that impress. Raw shooting and 4K video recording are two rarities on waterproof compacts,
while the 12MP sensor had its pixel count deliberately lowered over the previous model to
make it produce better-quality images with lower noise. It was a brave move by Olympus, but
a refreshing one too. Olympus has since released the Tough TG-6, a successor to this
camera. However it represents a very minor upgrade, with the same sensor/lens combination
and weatherproo ng, the only major additions being new Microscope and Underwater
modes. We reckon the TG-5 still represents better value for money.
