Best camera for travel photography

I’ve been thinking about upgrading my gear for upcoming trips, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on the best cameras for travel photography. Specifically, I’m looking for something lightweight but with great image quality. If you’ve got any recommendations or experiences to share, I’d really appreciate it. You’ve got this.

I found the Fujifilm X-T30 great for travel; it’s compact but packs a punch with image quality — just make sure to get a good lens, like the 18-55mm — it’s like adding a bit of spice to a simple dish! What types of photography are you planning to focus on during your trips?

@beaver27 The Sony A6400 is a solid choice too; it’s lightweight and has impressive autofocus — i took it on a recent trip and felt like I had a DSLR without the backache.
