Having a fixed lens may feel restrictive but it’s remarkably liberating to just have one field of view allowing you to focus on composition. This medium-wide lens is perfect for documentary photography from landscapes through to group or wide portraits. The Fujifilm X100 series offers a 35mm field of view at f/2. Now in its fifth generation the X100V brings some powerful features to an exceptionally portable Camera making it a definite contender for the Ultimate Travel Camera title. Weight, value and fear of damage can mean a camera is too much of a burden to bother packing.

You want to travel light but at the same time want to have your best camera on the journey. That said, the higher prices of those lenses will somewhat negate the affordability of the Z50 itself.Travel photography can often be a challenge. It does use the same Z-mount for its lenses as Nikon's FX-format cameras like the Z7 II, however, so you can always use those professional-standard lenses on this camera. Nikon currently offers only three lenses designed for its APS-C DX-format camera which isn't a wide selection - although the wide zoom ranges available will likely suit beginners well. It shoots 4K video at up to 30 frames per second and its tilting rear LCD will help get shots in more awkward angles.

There's no in-body image stabilization (you'll need to splash more cash for that) but its 11 frames per second burst shooting rate should help you score a sharp image. Its 20.9-megapixel sensor takes good-looking images, with excellent detail and enough dynamic range in the raw files to pull back highlights or lift shadows.

Nikon's Z50 packs a smaller APS-C sized image sensor into a small and lightweight body, which makes it excellent for chucking into a little backpack and heading out on your travels.
