Small Digital Cameras For Travel

Great for small cameras and travel.

I was looking for a small tripod for travel and use with my small cameras and this one fits what i was looking for.

We bought this camera to travel with, and to take pictures of theatrical performances. For the theatrical performances the silent mode was a big selling point. Very few other cameras of it's type have that. It may be a bit bigger than We wanted for travel, but We were only buying one camera. It is light weight, and not too large. With the 14-42mm lens it is a smaller profile. With a small prime it would be even more so. The camera has a great amount of flexibility and control. I am relatively new to digital SLR photography, having only owned advanced point and shoots before (I owned film SLR cameras, and printed in darkrooms and the like). I have come to the conclusion in modern digital photography the exposure controls are not just f/stop and shutter speed, but iso. This may seem obvious, but with in camera processing and better sensors higher iso's become practical. The standard lenses you can get with this camera without breaking your bank account too much -go down to about f3.5 or f/4. The high iso and image stabilizing technology allow for hand holding down to very slow shutter speeds (medium focal lengths). There are a lot of special modes that I doubt I'll use, there are many I've yet to sufficiently try out. The manual that comes with it is abridged, the actual one is online, and a deep read indeed. Build quality seems fine. One issue I had is that the serial number wore off. I copied it before it was totally gone. The connectivity of the camera to computers and other computery devices is a little flawed. There is some way to save pictures to something called the Lumix Club. I've yet to make that work. However, it can be made to copy pictures to your phone (as well as easily enough your computer -you will need to load drivers).

I have 1 for each of my 4 digital cameras because they are the do everything lens.

This my 4th digital. When we travel, I want a small camera that basically does most of what an SLR would do. This one is a bit heavier in weight than some tiny compacts, however, that can be overlooked with all of it's features. It can take a close up macro shot of a ant; zoom in and take a crystal clear shot of a jet skier at dusk. It takes photos inside without flash, clear, realistic light tones. Great little camera - it's manual, aperature priority, shutter priority - plus a multitude of auto settings, makes this perfect small compact camera. If I could change anything, it would only be to make it smaller or lighter.

Great for digital cameras

I have had several small digital cameras and this is the best.  Excellent clarity and color, easy to use, lots of features (I am still discovering them), small size.  Very happy with this camera.

I have these on my 2 digital cameras so I can switch between a long or short strap. Depending on what I am doing. I have a small video that I ordered these for, so I can use these same straps. Works great! Just clip and unclip.

I use this as my personal tripod for super 8, super 16mm, and for digital dslr cameras. I like the fact that is small enough to fit in a bag and easy to set up but powerful for sure and with a real fluid head movement. I cannot think of anything bad about it other than I am not too crazy about the mid level spreader but other than that is a dream come true.

This tripod is great for both small digital cameras and video cameras It locks up tight and is easy to operate!
