What camera is suitable for traveling?

Taking photos is definitely unavoidable when traveling. What kind of camera is the best to buy when traveling to take photos? The editor below will teach you how to choose a camera. If you want to buy a camera, you can Please refer to it. What kind of camera is suitable for traveling?

1. Small + light is the basis

It’s really silly to take a big, black and thick SLR out. D4s + 24-70 is basically like carrying it. Two bricks, let you try carrying bricks when traveling? The 9102 has passed, and this kind of configuration has long been out of fashion.

This is such a painful realization. I have owned D80, D700, D810, D4s... a set of three yuan is all at home.

Mirrorless cameras, rangefinder cameras, and card cameras are quite light and not big.

Take out a palm-sized camera from an inconspicuous bag, use your thumb to turn the crescent wrench on the lens, look at the viewfinder on the camera with your right eye, and open your left eye at the same time. All around, the shutter was pressed, but nothing seemed to happen.

And this is the most correct way to open a travel camera in my opinion.

2. The body is important, but the lens is even more important

It is not appropriate to talk about the body aside from the lens. When you choose this camera brand, does this brand have a rich and high-quality lens group? , this is quite critical.

There is no such thing as too many lenses. Although every time I go out, it is basically a combination of 2 bodies + 2 lenses, but it does not affect the collection of a bunch of lenses.

The disadvantage is that every choice will drive Libra to death. I am not a Libra.

Generally speaking, the lens systems of Leica, Nikon, and Canon are relatively comprehensive, followed by Zeiss, Fuji, Pentax, and Sony. But Sony is very lucky. Their A7 and A9 series of mirrorless cameras are very suitable for connecting lenses from other companies through adapter rings, which gives them a lot of appeal.

So, in terms of selection, if you are likely to upgrade your lenses in the future, it is recommended to choose manufacturers with a rich lens lineup.

3. Photographers want everything, travelers must learn to give up

The worst lens is always 18-200 or 18-300, euphemistically called One shot can rule the world. In fact, any film produced at any focal length is absolutely terrible.

Teach everyone a way to judge a shot. Generally, look at two points.

The first is to divide the longest focal length by the shortest focal length. The higher the value, the worse the lens.

The second is to look at the aperture. The larger the aperture, the better (the size of the aperture is the opposite of the number on the aperture, and the aperture of 1.0 is much larger than the aperture of 2.0). A constant aperture is better than a non-constant aperture.

But lenses with large apertures are often larger and heavier. I have both the 501.0 Yashen and the 502AA. The Yashen is usually used at home, and the 50

2AA is often taken out because it is light and trustworthy enough, so the aperture size is relativistic.

To sum up, a fixed focus lens will be better than a zoom lens (the longest focal length of a fixed focus divided by the shortest focal length is 1). This is certain.

For those who play SLR, the lenses are getting longer and larger, and old mages like to use telephotos to shoot birds. For people who play rangefinder, the lenses are getting shorter and smaller.

4. Appearance is justice

Why is it that Yahica’s Y35 was such a mess, but it was still used by young ladies? It’s so good-looking and cheap that even I fell in love with it.

My personal aesthetics tend to favor rangefinder and retro-style bodies. If you want to have both good looks and good videos, Fujifilm’s X100 series are really pretty good.

5. Buy the most expensive camera and lens you can afford

Slowly upgrading to fight monsters will definitely waste a lot of money. I am a bad case.

I recommend that everyone buy the most expensive camera and lens they can afford. Those who can't get it are always in turmoil, and those who are favored are confident. If you don't buy the best and most expensive one you can afford, you'll keep missing it.

Buy it early and enjoy it early, buy it late and cry for help. You will regret it for 3 days if you buy it, and you will regret it for 3 years if you don’t buy it. If you don’t buy it at the time, you will cry like a dog afterwards. Well, that's really it.

Also, only the best lenses will retain their value.

The first piece of advice Mr. Zhao Zhenguo from i50m gives to photography beginners is to rely on your equipment. Don’t listen to those who say “don’t rely on equipment.” What kind of photography can you do without relying on equipment? You can’t do it with a mobile phone. Is that enough?

Cameras are like this, you get what you pay for 1 cent, you get 2 cents for 1 cent, you get 3 cents for 1 yuan...

You must buy it yourself Buy the most expensive camera and lens you can afford, so you won't regret it.

6. The Contempt Chain can actually help you choose a camera (and accessories)

Medium format is not as good as full-frame, and full-frame is not a broken frame.

Rangefinders look down on DSLRs, DSLRs look down on mirrorless cameras, and mirrorless cameras look down on cards. But since the appearance of Sony A7R, I think mirrorless people are now disdainful of DSLRs.

Those who play with film look down on those who play with digital, and those who play with digital naturally dislike those who play with film. Those who have left the Party look down upon those who have left the Party, and those who have left the Party dislike those who have left the Party.

Brand-wise, Leica doesn’t like Sony, Nikon, or Canon. Nikon and Canon look down on Pentax and Fujifilm.

In terms of lenses, original manufacturers look down on sub-factories, fixed focus looks down on zoom, and constant aperture looks down on non-constant aperture.

On camera bags, ONA and Buckingham look down on Lowepro, and Lowepro looks down on domestic bags.

On a tripod, carbon fiber looks down on aluminum alloy, and aluminum alloy looks down on gold.
