In a hurry? Here are the best products at a glance.
You never know what’s going to happen when you’re out hiking on the trail. That’s why the best cameras for hiking are an important part of the experience. You can capture once in a lifetime memories without having to stop to get out your big, heavy camera. That’s why we researched some of the best products to put together these cameras for hiking reviews for you. Before we get started, let’s take a look at some of the important features you need to know.
WiFi: Some of our picks are equipped with WiFi. You don’t really need WiFi in order to get awesome photos and video, but it does make it really easy to transfer the files to your phone or computer for editing.
Resolution: Resolution measures how clear the picture is. 1080p is considered high definition while 4K is considered ultra-high definition. 720p is also considered full HD as well. The resolution of our top picks ranges from 720 to 4K.
Waterproof: It’s a good idea to have a waterproof camera if you’re going to use for hiking. You never know what the weather will be. Some of these cameras can also go underwater if you go swimming during your adventure.
Night Vision: Some cameras in this sporty style do have night vision features, but we didn’t include any in our reviews. We think hiking is more of a daytime activity so we looked for awesome daylight cameras.
Shooting Mode: All of our picks are capable of shooting video and taking pictures. This makes things really convenient because you won’t have to worry about having multiple devices with you. See something worth recording? You’re already ready.
Warranty: Warranties are always important, but especially with an electronic item like this. These cameras are going to be exposed to the elements: cold water, rain, heat, snow, wind. Make sure you understand your warranty, what’s covered and what isn’t.
Now that you know more about the key features, let’s take a look at our reviews. If you’re looking for the best mirrorless camera for hiking or something a little simpler, you’re in the right place. Here’s the deal: we put our top pick and budget pick first. That’s a great place to start but stick around if you can because the rest of the items rounding out our list are pretty awesome, too. All right, let’s get right to it!
