Here’s a side-by-side comparison of my favorite hiking cameras.
The specs are all factory listings. The list is ordered with full frame cameras first, followed by semi-pro, compact, waterproof, and then DSLRs. You can adjust it by clicking on the top column to have it arranged by weight, price, etc.
Prices are as listed on Amazon in December of 2021, but several models were unavailable due to supply chain shortages.
On a mobile phone you’ll have to swipe from right to left to see the whole chart.
