For example, smart phones usually have a very small sensor size,
and thus tend to not take awesome low-light pictures. Sensor
sizes tend to increase as the size of the camera does, and in the
DSLR realm, the sensitivity is measured as ISO.
Aperture
The aperture controls the brightness of an image, and the number
that correlates to it refers to the size of the hole that lets light into
the sensor. Apertures are shows as f-numbers (for example, f/2.8,
f/4, etc.), and the larger the number, the smaller the hole.

Megapixels
The megapixel number on your camera refers to the size of image
the camera can produce. One megapixel means one million pixels,
and as the number goes higher you’ll get clearer resolution in your
photos. This is especially important if you plan on making prints.

Focal Length
When picking out a lens for your DSLR, focal length refers to
optical zoom, and is the distance between the sensor and the lens
when the subject is in focus. Measured in millimeters, a lower
focal length means the lens can be used for wider shots.
EIS/OIS
EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization) and OIS (Optical Image
Stabilization) are image stabilizers that correct small movements
when taking a photo and eliminate blur. OIS is great for improving
low light photography, while EIS is primarily a video stabilizer.
WiFi
What about your WiFi needs? If you’re someone who likes to

Lens Selection
Also consider the lens selection that your camera can support, as
you won’t be able to swap out di erent brand’s lenses due to the
unique mounts. Most of the main lines will have many of the same
lens options, but it’s something to look into if you have speci c
requirements.
Video
Almost all cameras on the market today shoot video, but there are
certain aspects to pay attention to depending on what quality
you’d like to achieve. Frame rate is the most important, with 24 –
30 frames per second being in a normal range, while up to 60fps
will give you smoother playback.

If image quality, size, and weight is the most important factor, you
will want to look at purchasing a mirrorless camera.

DSLR cameras are better suited for sports, wildlife, and other
types of action photography. If these types of photography don’t
interest you, then you will probably be ne with a mirrorless. I
often travel to photograph wildlife and I need a capable zoom
lens, which is why I hesitated about switching completely to
mirrorless.
However, there are a few zoom lens options out there for
mirrorless cameras, just not as many. I currently use the Sony 70-
200mm (http://amzn.to/2jMsG0r) with my Sony a7ii

20&linkId=635ULAP3APH6MV34) and it gets the job done in most
cases. I opted for the F4 instead of the Sony 70-200mm F2.8
(http://amzn.to/2jOVrqX) in order to keep my kit light.
Choosing a DSLR means you will have more lens options, faster
focus (although mirrorless is following close behind), and a slightly
longer battery life. Eventually, I’m sure DSLR cameras will become
obsolete, but we are still a little way o from mirrorless replacing
traditional DSLR cameras entirely.

This is such an informative post, Christy and Scott! I am in the market for a new camera
as my old one broke. Well, it really is not as modern and we have used it for years;
guess it just really is time to let it go and buy a new one. Thanks for sharing, we’d
de nitely be looking into these cameras.

So happy to hear the post was helpful! Congrats on your new camera purchase. 🙂
It’s so fun getting new equipment!

Hello,
Thank you very much for this post; I found it helpful. Can you recommend a camera for
me? I was thinking of nally upgrading my cell phone so that I would have a better
camera on hand but I am not pleased with the clarity once I zoom in on many cell
phone pics. I am looking for a travel camera that takes great nature photos (I love to
photograph owers, trees, nature walks, insects, kayaking, etc) but will also need to
take pictures of active children and animals (limited lag) in all light settings. I do not
plan to purchase a camera in which I would interchange lenses. Preferably a
https://ordinarytraveler.com/best-travel-camera 30/36
2/6/2020 BEST Travel Camera 2020 (Compact, Mirrorless & DSLR)
lightweight camera that I can carry in my purse. Preferably no more than the
$400-$500 range but I am open to something that works best for my needs listed
above. I greatly appreciate your input.

Absolutely love this post! Thank you. I’ve spent the last few weeks drowning in
information and agonising over which camera will be the best for me. As a complete
beginner who wants to capture great images but wouldn’t have the slightest idea
where to start with changeable lens this guide is ideal. I think I’ve decided on a bridge
camera – the Canon PowerShot SX60 which I think is similar to the SX720 you’ve
mentioned in this article!

That’s so great to hear! What made you choose the SX60 over the 720?

Mainly recommendation, I know quite a few people who have (or have had) the
SX60 and they basically said that for the extra £70-100 it was worth it. I want it
mainly for a safari I have planned later this year too so I think the better zoom
on the SX60 may come in handy!
