What are the recommendations for a micro-camera suitable for travel?

When traveling, we must consider the size and weight of the camera to save some space for our precarious suitcase space. Next, I recommend some cameras that I am using myself. At the same time, I will evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each camera, hoping to help you.

Choose M4/3 lightweight

Panasonic GX9?

GX9 is equipped with a 2030W pixel M4/3 sensor, as well as a 5-axis +2-axis dual anti-shake and contrast autofocus system, which can increase the success rate of taking photos to some extent. Its weight is only 450g, plus the lens and charger, the travel weight can be controlled within 1kg.

In addition to its light size and weight, the biggest advantage of this camera is its anti-shake function. Thanks to the smaller frame, its anti-shake function is very powerful, even if you can take pictures with 1s at 90MM, it will not shake. People who have some knowledge of photography should know that the shutter speed is proportional to the focal length, for example, a shutter of 90mm corresponding to 1/90, so that the photo will not be blurred because of shaking. In this way, you can travel with less tripod and reduce the weight by about 3kg. Therefore, I personally like to take this camera with me when traveling.

Compromise between APSC image quality and weight

Nikon Z30

Z30 is a digital camera with APS-C format released by Nikon in June 2022. Nikon DX format image sensor, EXPEED? 6 combination of image processor and Nicole Z-type mounting lens. The body is small and light, and has the function of automatic focusing (AF) for eye detection (supporting clear focusing of eyes in videos and photos); The reversible display supports easy selfie and exploring more creative angles, and its startup time is relatively short, so the performance of the fuselage is relatively excellent.

It is recommended because Nikon's camera body has always been excellent in workmanship. I once took this camera out to shoot in the typhoon-ravaged weather. It was raining at that time, and I was worried that it would be damaged by water. The result is that I worry too much. After coming back to dry, the camera is all right. Moreover, Nikon's Z-mount has a large number of excellent lenses, such as the 24200 lens that I personally prefer. One lens covers all focal lengths between 24 mm and 200 mm, and it is also very convenient to travel and carry. At the same time, because the current Z mount is the largest relative to Sony and Canon. So the optical quality of the same type of lens is also the best.

Sony ZV-e 10L

The short board of Sony ZV-e 10L is a color directly issued by Sony, which is not very pleasing. But relatively speaking, the quality of videos and photos is excellent. It is almost a shell-changing version of α6600, which has almost all its advantages and is cheaper. Thanks to the micro-single circuit developed by Sony for so many years, its lens group is also very rich, so you can choose the lens focal length that suits you no matter what scene.

ZV-e 10L is more suitable for people who like travel videos or want to record their travel as vlog. Its 4k image quality is excellent. It is compressed from 6k samples. At the same time, Sony took the lead in launching micro-cameras outside Canon and Nikon. It has the richest lens group of the three. I like to hang a 1650 when traveling. This lens is very small in size. And the price is cheap, you can buy lenses with good colors around 500 yuan. So it is also included in my recommendation.

Fuji XA7

The main selling points of Fuji xa7 are high value and retro. Simple operation and Fuji's unique film filter effect make the straight-out effect very pleasing to the eye.

As a machine with apsc format, this machine is more suitable for shooting in full light, and it is very suitable for recording life during travel. Because the positioning is relatively low and there are not many function buttons, its weight is well controlled and not heavy. The cost performance is also excellent.

Fuji's camera is most famous for its unique film filter. Thanks to Fuji's research on film for many years, its straight-out effect is the most pleasing among all recommended cameras. Many people actually buy cameras as a tool to record their lives and don't want complicated post-processing. Even if they do, they simply modify it with mobile phone software. Xa7 is a good solution to the above pain points.

The final stage of Quan Huafu image quality.

Sony α7C

Alpha 7C is matched with two different colors, namely silver and black. . Compared with other α7 series, the control area is much simplified, there is no focus rocker, and the number of custom buttons is also reduced. Only two thumbwheels can be used on the fuselage. The fuselage screen adopts side folding design. The top design of the fuselage is also very simple, and the recording button is enlarged. The design of the shutter button feels different from the fourth-generation model, and the sound is clearer when taking pictures. In terms of interfaces, all interfaces are designed on the viewfinder side of the fuselage. Because of the limitation of volume, a single slot design is adopted.

As the smallest camera in Quan Huafu, I only recommend this miniature camera for travel. Due to the Quan Huafu design, its image quality and high sense are the best among all recommended cameras. At the same time, Sony's 2860, G45 f2 and other compact lenses also meet my ideal of traveling, that is, small size does not occupy space. In Quan Huafu, its advantages can be said to be unparalleled. At the same time, there is no compromise on the original performance in the compact body. Evf (electronic viewfinder) can also help us shoot better scenery in the big sun. So I think it is also worth recommending.
