Christmas is approaching and you need to start preparing what you need to go on vacation: here are the best travel cameras
Smartphone cameras are slowly replacing them, but cameras are trying hard to resist. With the market in dire straits, SLR and compact cameras are trying to carve out their own niche in the market by adding new features and ways to use them.
More and more people are leaving their cameras at home, preferring to occupy the camera's space with clothes and food, especially when it comes to going on vacation. Despite the quality achieved by the photographic compartment of smartphones, the images taken with your mobile device can not be compared to the quality of photos taken with a camera, especially if reflex. Also, if you're going to visit an exotic place, cameras provide greater stability and security.
Many companies have produced shock, dust and water resistant cameras that are ideal for safaris and adventure travel. These cameras are very compact in size but ensure that the quality of the images you take is excellent, even in the most extreme situations. If you're packing your suitcase for the Christmas vacations, remember to bring along one of the cameras in our buying guide

Are you leaving for a month of surfing in Hawaii and don't want to miss a single moment of your training? The Fujifilm XP90 is the right camera for you: the Japanese company has created a "rugged" camera that is practically indestructible and suitable for even the most extreme situations. The camera can be used up to a maximum of fifteen meters (fifty feet), resists falls up to a maximum of 1.75 meters, dust and frost to minus ten degrees. From Hawaii to the Arctic Circle, the Fujifilm XP90 adapts to all different situations. Moving on to the technical features: the camera mounts a BSI-CMOS sensor with 16 million pixels that allows you to take sharp photos even late at night or in dark rooms. In addition, the Japanese company has developed a technology (Underwater) that allows you to reproduce images taken underwater with the same colors of the sea. Thanks to the "Burst Mode Button" you can shoot burst images without losing quality (up to a maximum of ten consecutive shots in one second). Logically could not miss the recording of videos: the Fujifilm XP90 makes videos in FullHD with a resolution of 1920 x 1080: the roar of a lion or a meeting with a shark have never been so real. The price is less than 200 euros.
Hasselblad X1D
For the photographer who never has to ask. Let's make things clear right away, Hasselblad X1D is not a camera for everyone: the cost is around thirteen thousand euros just for the camera body without any additional accessories.

Moreover, the Swedish company's camera is the first compact mirrorless model that integrates a 44mm sensor into a camera that weighs just over 700 grams. The Hasselblad X1D is dedicated to a specific market niche, the one formed by photography enthusiasts who are looking for something different in cameras, devices that allow you to take wonderful images in any situation. Il sensore fotografico è da 50 megapixel, unico nel suo genere, come il prezzo della fotocamera.
