5 Great Cameras to Take on Vacation by Mike Zeiler Here are five sleek, compact digital cameras with features that make them an ideal travel companion Article rating: 7.83

Regardless of the time of year, it's always a perfect time to take a vacation. Whether you go to the beach in the summer, the slopes in the winter or catch the brilliant hues of the leaves in fall, you should always take a camera with you in order to capture your vacation memories. Here are five sleek, compact digital cameras with features that make them an ideal travel companion:

- Pentax Optio W60 ($329.95)

The Optio W60 is waterproof up to 13 feet, meaning it can handle rain and spills while also letting you take underwater photos and video. The W60 is also JIS Class 5 dustproof against sand and dust and can operate in temperatures as cold as 14 degrees. All of these features make the W60 ideal for outdoor winter activities like skiing and summer water sports like boating, fishing, snorkeling, kayaking, etc.

- Panasonic Lumix TZ5 ($349.95)

The TZ5 makes taking clear images on the go as easy as possible. The Advanced Intelligent Auto Mode consists of seven intuitive technologies, automatically selecting the correct scene mode, exposure and ISO settings while removing red-eye, auto-focusing, compensating for any hand-shake and identifying faces to properly expose portraits.

- Nikon Coolpix S600 ($299.95)

For capturing kids having fun on vacation, nothing beats the Nikon S600 and its new Active Child mode. This allows you to select and frame your subject prior to shooting, then if the subject moves, the camera will track and focus on the moving subject as you shoot for faster, more reassuring operation and sharper results.

- Samsung NV24HD ($349.95)

The NV24HD has a number of great features that make it perfect for travel. Its ultra-wide 24mm lens allows you to get more into the frame, resulting in great group shots (like the whole family and Epcot Center in the background) or great landscapes. It also has both optical and digital stabilization, giving you twice the protection against blurry images. In addition to taking HD video, it also has a bright OLED screen so you can see and review your images in bright sunlight and use less of your battery.

- The Fujifilm Finepix F100fd ($379.95)

The F100fd is feature-rich, showcasing high-speed playback of your images, digital and optical image stabilization, faster face-detection, and more. Fujifilm's "fd" cameras are engineered at the cutting edge of face detection technology. The Portrait Enhancer Mode also minimizes fine lines and small skin blemishes for smooth, natural portraits - perfect for taking more flattering shots in the bright summer sun.
