If you’re just getting into photography and are interested in traveling then you’ll need to make sure an have the right camera!

There’s no lag between what you’re seeing and what picture you take. Another great aspect of DSLR cameras is the interchangeable lenses! This is especially important for travel photography because having back-up and different lenses can be very useful. The Canon EOS Rebel T7 makes a great choice for beginner photographers with its easy use and many great functions! It has a very high, 24.1 megapixel CMOS sensor to give you very high-quality photos and videos with vibrant colors and details! The ISO range (the camera’s sensitivity to light) is slightly lower on this camera than other affordable cameras as it maxes out at around 6400. Overall though it’s a solid DSLR camera great for beginner photographers and thus in your photographer travel bag.
