The Fujifilm X100F features a hybrid viewfinder, giving you the ability to turn on or off the EVF, a built-in 23mm f/2 lens, and a noteworthy ISO range of up to 51200.

The X-T30’s easily accessible control wheels and quick autofocus ensure that you can capture impressive photos on the go, and you won’t have to miss a second of your dream vacation to do so.

This camera’s unbeatable price, along with Sony’s unique and easy to work with color profile and overall ease of use makes the a6000 tough to beat within the travel camera market. Praised for its exceptional image quality, quick autofocus, and noteworthy dynamic range, the a6000 is a tried and true crowd pleaser.

  5. Continuous shooting of 5 fps

One of the most budget friendly and compact full-frame cameras around, the mirrorless Alpha a7ii is very worthy of a spot on this list. With its quick autofocus capabilities, excellent low-light performance, and a crystal clear electronic viewfinder, this camera is an absolute workhorse, especially when considering its attractive price. Though marginally larger and a bit heavier than the other contenders on this list, the A7ii’s full frame sensor offers fantastic image quality with less noise, and increased dynamic range.
