Most people prefer to pack light when vacationing. If a camera is your number one travel companion, packing light prevents you from going from airport to airport with 30-50 pound gear. The best cameras and equipment can produce high-quality images and videos, regardless of whether you’re hiking in the mountains or at Disney World. Plus, they’re compact enough to fit in your suitcase. So, before you start booking flights and making hotel reservations, grab these digital cameras, Polaroids and vlogging essentials, starting at $15.
