Best Holiday and Travel Cameras

With summer in full swing, the sun shining, and more people going away again, now is the time to get out your camera and snap some memories.

If you’re going abroad or just off on a staycation, you may be doing activities that require a few extra camera qualities e.g. waterproof or a long battery life. To help you choose the best travel camera for your adventure, Harrison Cameras has provided a guide to the best holiday cameras of 2021.

Nikon D7500 Camera (Discontinued)

The Nikon D7500 Digital SLR Camera is travel-ready, perfect for holiday makers who want to shoot exceptional quality videos and photos! The D7500 is ideal for photographers who are out on the move, searching for the best possible photos. The clean and crisp photos that this camera produces are certainly one for the holiday photo books.

Video shooters can record in 4K/UHD movies, with Nikon’s in-camera Electronic Vibration Reduction countering the effects of unwanted camera movement. This is perfect when you’re out and about discovering new places, wanting to record some videos. The anti vibration will make your viewing experience nicer when you come to look at them back.

As well as this, the Nikon D7500 can transform holiday views into dramatic high-speed sequences with the built-in interval timer and 4K/UHD-quality time-lapse function. You can achieve the highest of quality videos of you and your family / friends without a videographer to take them!

Panasonic Lumix TZ70 Camera (Discontinued)

The Panasonic Lumix TZ70 is packed with features, helping you to capture every detail of your break. This camera is perfect for packing away in your suitcase, with a clear viewfinder to make sure your photos are in focus, a control ring for raw shooting when out and about, and a high sensitivity MOS sensor when you want to capture some low light night pictures, plus many more features.

This is a great travelling camera with a 30x zoom Leica lens, which is perfect for getting scenery shots and capturing the local nature scene wherever you are. If you find yourself having a lot of evenings out to celebrate being on holiday, this camera is perfect as it captures low light scenes excellently with its high sensitivity MOS sensor.

Fujifilm X-T200 Camera (Discontinued)

This Fujifilm camera is a great one for carrying around, whether that be on the way to the beach or discovering a new city, due to its lightweight design.

The FUJIFILM X-T200 provides photographers of all levels with a light-weight and compact mirrorless camera body, featuring a quick face detection ability and the option of recording in 4K/UHD video.

As well as this, Fujifilm’s history in color science has given it world renowned status among image-makers across the world. The colour quality is superb on this camera, meaning that the beautiful scenes you want to capture whilst away will show up in excellent quality. Wherever you are in the world, the Fujifilm X-T200 will do it justice.

Sony Cyber-Shot RX100 VA Camera

The Sony Cyber-Shot RX100 VA Camera has a high performance eye, with accuracy and excellent tracking. As well as this, it has the ability for continuous shooting in high quality, meaning you can get tonnes of great shots at the beach or up a mountain. The reduction of display time lag during shooting also means a speedy photo shoot whilst in the sun.

The lens allows for wide-angle shooting, and reduces camera shake and subject motion blur. Its fast f1.8-2.8 aperture also allows you to capture photos, such as portraits with a beautiful background bokeh (a background without any hard edges or sharpness). This means you can snap atmospheric pictures of your friends and family enjoying themselves.

Disposable Cameras

You may think that disposable cameras are a thing of the past, but they are still widely used whilst travelling, for parties and other events. Disposable cameras are potentially the best camera for travel, because they are robust, cheaper, and less susceptible to breaking. If you are going on an adventure holiday they are particularly useful, as you can shove them in your bag or pocket without worrying about scratches or marks.

If you are not too bothered about camera quality, but still want to get loads of photos to remember your time away, a disposable camera could be the best travelling camera. We have a range of options at Harrison Cameras, for example our white disposable camera with built-in flash, an ISO of 400, and the ability to take 27 photos. Not only does it offer all the benefits of a disposable camera, but it actually has the ability to take good quality photos at great price.

If you want a camera that children can use, our Lebox waterproof disposable camera is a great option. It is waterproof, sandproof, easy to use, has a fast ISO of 400, compact body, automatic recharge and takes photos with a choice of 27 exposures.
