Cameras Perfect for Summer Adventures

Instant film cameras make great gifts, are easy to fit in your pocket and perfect for creating instant summer memories! The FujiFilm Instax Mini 9, which comes in 5 awesome colors, is affordable at just $69.95 and includes a selfie mirror, close-up lens, and a flash.  Or if you're looking for a portable photo printer, the Instax SP-2, check out our review.

 

If you’re looking for a tough camera that’s built for adventure, then the new Olympus Tough TG-5 12MP digital camera could be right for you.  With legendary durability and imaging quality from the 12MP CMOS sensor, a TruePic VIII image processor and an updated Pro feature list that includes 4K 30p video, 20fps continuous shooting in RAW and sensor-shift image stabilization. You can take this camera anywhere! Seriously, the camera body is waterproof, freezeproof, shockproof, crushproof and dustproof. Why not take it on your next adventure? It’s available now for pre-order at $449 and includes free shipping.

Check out our review of the Family Friendly Olympus TG-4.

If the Olympus Tough TG-5 digital camera is more than you need, but you still want a great point and shoot for everything from indoor moments to underwater explorations considers taking the FujiFilm FinePix XP120 16.4MP camera on your family’s next adventure. The FinePix comes in 4 bright colors for $229.95 and has all the bells and whistles plus full HD 1080p video mode. It’s even waterproof up to 65 ft!

If you prefer taking beautiful pictures and videos with your smartphone, why not invest in a handy tool to help stabilize your shots? The Zhiyun Tech Smooth-C 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal for $169.00 is a handheld gimbal stabilizer for most smartphones within 6.4”. It comes with batteries and has a follow-mode and locking options, offers 320° rotation along the pan, tilt and roll axes. There is a 5-way joystick that lets you regulate speed and angle controls.

If you have a camera that you would recommend for adventures or family vacations that I haven’t mentioned here, let me know. I’d love to hear what camera’s you are using this summer.
