Best Cameras for Travelers

Invest in a good camera and your snaps will take on an extra quality that even the best smartphones can’t achieve. Here are some good options for your next trip.

The Panasonic TZ200 boasts a 15x optical zoom in a small package, with a 24-360mm lens and a 20.1-megapixel resolution. It’s an impressive piece of kit, and you can get one for around $500. Given the quality, that’s not a bad price at all.

If you want to really invest in the best, the Sony RX100 VII is pretty much unbeatable. It’s been hailed by reviewers around the world, and it’s so small you can easily fit it in your pocket. At $1,100 it’s not cheap, but you won’t need any other camera.

The Fujifilm X-T30 is a slightly larger package with a separate lens configuration, which gives you more flexibility. It’s built to last, and amazing value for money. It will cost you around $800, but for that you get an incredibly high-quality camera.

Another option is the Canon G5X Mark II, a compact camera that behaves like a mini-DSLR. The pop-up viewfinder is a good touch, and it boasts a 5x zoom. You’re looking at around $800 for this highly regarded piece of kit.
