Our editorial team chose the travel cameras on this list using real customer reviews from Amazon Australia. For each category, we selected parameters based on careful research and then identified the travel cameras with the highest review scores within those parameters.
Our pick for the best overall travel camera is the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III because it has a 4.5 out of 5 star rating on Amazon Australia from approximately 150 online reviewers.
With its lightweight and compact design and many different features, this sleek-looking camera is the ideal travel companion. And while it's small in size, it's certainly powerful and effective, offering outstanding image quality.
This updated model of an old favourite now offers 4K video as well as amazing 5-axis in-body stabilisation, creating eye-catching videos and photos even when on the move. It features a Touch AF shutter that allows 8.6 frames per second continuous shooting. Plus it has a range of great filters to add that something special to your shots.
While this versatile and easy-to-use camera is ideal for those starting out in photography, it has also received glowing online reviews from professionals who have been there and done that.
Our team selected the Sony Alpha A6100 Mirrorless Camera as it has a 4.7 out of 5 star rating on Amazon Australia from approximately 80 online reviews. It is also one of Amazon's top picks based on its price and excellent ratings.
This camera is an updated version of its best-selling predecessor, the A6000, and offers a swag of new and improved features. And being lightweight, compact and powerful, it's also a great option for travel.
This model features a 24.2MP CMOS sensor that produces high-quality detailed images as well as fantastic autofocus and continuous tracking, even when you're on the go. It also offers 4K video, a microphone jack and a 180-degree touchscreen for selfies and vlogging. It also has fantastic super-fast real-time Eye autofocus and continuous tracking to provide sharp and clear focus on a wide range of subjects.
For the best compact travel camera, we selected the Fujifilm X100V Mirrorless Digital Camera because it comes with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating from over 300 online reviews.
This premium mirrorless camera is a new and improved version of previous popular models. Incredibly compact and lightweight, it's easy to carry around. And with its top-shelf 26.1MP sensor and X-Processor 4, it certainly provides superior imagery.
While small in size, it features a useful tilting touchscreen to add a little versatility and more ability for tight angle shooting. It also offers 4K video and a hybrid viewfinder.
Overall, this is the perfect street camera for taking clear and super-detailed photos and videos on the go. And many online customers have commented on how well it performs for its compact pocket size.
Our team selected the Canon DSLR EOS 200D Mark II as it has a 4.4 out of 5 star rating on Amazon Australia from over 160 online reviews.
This is a super light DSLR camera that is easy to use. In fact, it's the smallest DSLR camera that Canon makes. It offers a great guided display and easy-to-understand button layout, making this a great option for those just starting out.
With its 24.1MP CMOS sensor and the speedy DIGIC 8 Processor, the image quality is impressive, while it works fairly quickly with 5 frames per second continuous shooting.
It also offers 4K video recording, complete with built-in time-lapse, plus Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity so you can get on your socials and share your travels with family and friends.
We selected the Sony RX100 VII Premium Compact Camera as the best travel video camera as it has a 4.5 out 5 star rating from over 150 online reviews.
This incredibly compact camera offers a range of fabulous features, including excellent 4K video that can be recorded at either 30 or 24 frames per second, Full HD 1080p up to 120 frames per second, and also super slow-motion. It also has a microphone jack, allowing you to connect to external microphones to achieve better audio quality.
With its 20-megapixel 1-inch sensor plus Bionz X processor, it performs quickly and produces highly detailed images. The 24-200mm, 8X zoom lens is limited, however, the pay-off is having an impressive pocket-sized camera that is perfect for shooting when you're out and about.
Travel cameras can generally cost anywhere from $700 to $2,000, however, it is possible to purchase a good quality product for under $500. For this option, we selected the Panasonic Lumix FZ80 Camera, which has a 4.4 out of 5 star rating on Amazon Australia form over 1,000 online reviews.
This camera has all the features that you need for taking great photos and videos on the move. It offers 4K photo and 4K video performance and an optically stabilised 20-1,200mm zoom lens. It also benefits from an extremely fast and accurate focus system.

When looking for the travel camera with the best zoom, we had to pick the Panasonic Lumix ZS200 Camera, as it has a 4.3 out of 5 star rating on Amazon Australia from over 50 reviewers.
Panasonic is renowned for producing excellent travel cameras, however, this one offers an incredible 15x zoom lens, not to mention a high sensitivity 1-inch sensor producing 20.1 megapixels for brighter and more fabulous photos.
