Top 5 Travel Cameras

Summertime is travel time! At least most people go on vacation during the summer months and achieve photographic feats, because they always have their camera ready to shoot. For good reason, because you get so many motifs in front of the lens in a short time as never before. Which travel camera to take with you is usually a very difficult and always individual question. The main arguments are the image quality, the size and the possibilities. We have selected five recommendations for travel cameras and would like to present them briefly here.

Extra tip: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ 2000

The flexible "all-rounder" camera from Panasonic is our conclusion to the topic of travel cameras, because this all-rounder offers a large 1 inch sensor and a Leica zoom lens thanks to which it is also possible to comfortably capture distant motifs closer on vacation. The camera also has a video function in 4k resolution. At 966g, it is a bit heavier than a Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX80, but much more flexible to use.

The best accessories for travel photography

When it comes to travel photography, there are several additions to your camera that can enhance your travel shots.

Joby GorillaPod Tripod - Thanks to the GorillaPod's flexible legs, this tripod can be used almost anywhere and allows for great shots from new perspectives.

Pocket mount for the camera like the Capture Clip from Peak Design or the Clip from Ulanzi.

Peak Design's system of universal anchor loops offers a lot of flexibility and allows the user to choose whether he or she wants to go with a hand strap (Peak Design) or a camera strap (Peak Design) today.

What often remains hidden on the ground

Most people know the city they live in like the back of their hand. At least that's what they would say if they were asked. But how well do we really know our immediate surroundings?
