Many here do a lot of travel.
Let us hear what you think is the best all around camera for travel.
Perhaps for planes, trains and automobiles which for which.
It should be interesting to see the various reasons justifying the choices.

I love my Fuji X-E2.
APS-C sensor in a pretty small package.
Great lenses, though I personally have only 2, but since it's mirrorless, I can adapt a lot of other lenses to it.
Intuitive controls makes it so easy to use.
Took an X-E1 on my first trip to europe and upgraded to the X-E2 on last 2 trips.
My son used the X-E2 as second shooter for a wedding we did in France in September.
His images are hard to discern from the ones I shot with my D810.

For me the best travel camera is the Fuji X100 series, pocketable with outstanding photo quality.

I like the Swiss Army Knife of Photography -the Sony RX10M4 or the RX100M7 if the 10 is too bulky and heavy.

My idea of travel camera: small, well made, can take ruff handing. not complex to use.

I just got the Sony RX100M7, so I am probably not one that should be responding to this question.

But then again, why not. It is expensive and seems to have a steep learning curve.

Yet, it is so tiny I can fit it in my small purse or wear it around my neck in a small bag. Is is totally forgiving of my many learner's mistakes, and I got some great photos on my recent Hawaii vacation. It is exciting and amazing to watch the YouTube videos and see all it can do.

I have no doubt I made the best choice for me.

I don't own one and only just saw a demonstration of the new Nikon Z50. Its pancake lens and its light weight make it a very attractive travel camera. It has some cool features. I am considering it as a new addition to my gear.

I like to use what I have. Because i am familiar with all the bells and whistles. Happy Shooting.

Traveling doesn't change my habit
of shooting after dark, so a dinky
pocket camera won't serve. Other
than that, most anything with good
hi-ISO ability will do.

I endeavor not to own ANY camera
unsuitable for MY travel, which is by
car. I use a great variety of cameras
and lenses, so no point in singling
one out as best.

Later in the Army shortly before leaving I used the Kodak Disk camera. I fit in my hat while deployed and no one knew I had it for some time but was finally busted and taken away. Oh well.
I travel by plane and car with the same camera and lenses.
Canon 7D and several lenses ranging from a fisheye to a 100-400mm. Sometimes a 10D with a couple of very old lenses for beach play.

I recently got the RX100 VII before we went on a cruise last month. I have to say that I’m pretty stoked about this camera. It’s small, light, and feature packed. I really like the lens, and the focusing system is fast and accurate. Image quality is excellent, as is the color rendering. I’m considering making this my only camera. With the lens that zooms out to 35mm eq. of 200mm and extended digital zoom, it makes for a great travel camera. And you don’t have to switch lenses around. Your whole travel system is in your shirt pocket. I recommend it for consideration for a travel camera.
