I do have a Canon 6D, Olympus OM-D EM-5 Mark II and an Olympus Pen E-pl7. The Canon 6D is usually never with me on vacations any more, i have been using my EM-5 Mark II more and more. Just love it! Its really great, and its lighter that the heavy DSLR with all the heavy optics. :-)

Thank you for such a detailed list. I am really looking forward to getting a mirrorless soon since I am a little bored of the DSLR and cannot decide between the Sony and the other brands. Most people recommend the Sony, so would you also say that? So far I had the Nikon D7000, but its time for a change now.

I have a Sony Cybershot but it is getting pretty old. I am planning to switch to a new one. This list has given me a good view of the best ones in the market.

I would add the Canon G7 X Mark II to this list in the high end compact section. It’s one of the best on the market at the moment and it also takes awesome videos! And Canon M3 in the Mirrorless section. :)

Used a cheap Canon point and shoot cameras before but upgraded to a Nikon DSLR now. With the invention of smartphone cameras as good as most point and shoots, the photography scene has changed a lot.

Fantastic guide Ben – very comprehensive. We started out with point and shoot camera’s, and even after we upgraded to DSLR’s we still use the Canon Powershot SX50 for a lot of photography, mainly because of the zoom. Wildlife photography especially – the quality is by far superior to that kind of zoom on any other camera we’ve used.

Everything else though, highly recommend the Nikon D5300 – I’m a beginner in terms of DSLR’s so I think that’s a great entry level for those just learning :)

In reply to Joseph. It really depends on what your goal is. If you wanna step up your game and take higher quality images, I would recommend you check out the D3300. It works pretty much the same as the D3100 but it has a larger sensor and 24MPs instead of your 14MPs. If however you are satisfied with your shots and you don't need higher quality, stick with your old one. Sorry I couldn't be of more help to you.

I have a Nikon D3100, any thoughts about it? Hesitating to change my camera or stay a little longer with it.

In reply to Ben. Thanks for the suggestion! I have definitely gotten a lot of miles out of my old Nikon, but it's probably time to move on.

In reply to Stephanie. The Nikon D40 was definitely a good DSLR back then but things changed a lot and even cheap Point & Shoot Cameras have larger sensor nowadays. If you wanna up your pic game I would recommend you check out the Nikon D3300. It's the #1 best seller on Amazon with over 750 positive reviews. Plus, it is a fairly cheap DSLR camera for travel. Hope that helps and good luck with your travel plans :D
