Photography 101, Part II: The Best Cameras for Travel

If you’re on the road, or in anther country, you probably don’t want to add a huge, expensive camera to your load. Great travel photography opportunities can happen when you're least expecting them, so it's a great idea to bring a camera you can comfortably carry with you most of the time. You'll also want a camera that can take a little bit of a beating, since travel often means being faced with inclement weather and other less-than-ideal circumstances. Flashy cameras might also get you into trouble in certain areas, so simpler-looking is always better. When traveling, it’s best to look for a compact camera that will still take quality photographs, because (of course) you want your vacation pictures to look good!

Always be ready with your camera in case you go somewhere photo-worthy!


Top-rated cameras for this purpose are the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ30, the Nikon Coolpix S9300, the Canon PowerShot SX260, and the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX20V. See a full list of top-rated travel cameras with reviews here and here.
