6 Best Digital Cameras to Take on Your Next Trip

If you want the look and feel of shooting on film, without actually having to learn to work with film, what you’re after is a FujiFilm X100. The X100VI (released last year) is the most advanced of the stylish, analog inspired cameras and it’s been a social media stunner. It’s far from the most beginner friendly, but it may just be the most rewarding travel camera to master. Compared to its predecessors, it’s more lightweight and has quicker autofocus.

While this is a digital camera, it is loaded with physical dials and switches to make the shooting experience as tactile as possible. But this isn’t what truly sells the vibe. What makes this camera different is Fuijifilm’s simulations. These film simulations are filters that instantly alter the color, contrast, grain, and highlights to give your photos that retro look the second you take them. Go with the Portra 400 for that classic Kodak look or, if you are so inclined, spend hours browsing the custom community creations to find the exact vibe you’re searching for.

The X100VI does in a pinch as a video camera, with the ability to shoot video 6.2K video at 30 frames per second and 4K video up to 60 fps. That being said, in terms of focus, it’s stuck with a single lens rocking a fixed 35mm focal length. As is the case with the Sony Cybershot, this means there’s no option to attach zoom lenses to adjust your framing on the fly whether you’re doing photography or videography.
