This camera has many features found in larger, more expensive SLRs, but in a smaller package. One feature travelers will use over and over again is Active D-Lighting. In high contrast lighting conditions, such as when your subject is in the shade and bright light is all around, important details in both highlights and shadows can be lost. With the D60 set to Matrix metering and the Active D-Lighting turned on, exposure issues are automatically corrected while shooting.

With a fast startup and a fast shutter response, you can capture those sport-action sequence images at 3 frames per second for up to 100 frames. With its long-lasting lithium-ion battery, you can capture up to 500 images on a battery charge - more than enough for a day-trip away from your battery charger back in the hotel.

As a traveler, you will appreciate the K200D’s weather and dust resistant body. Whether you are shooting in a misty jungle, up on a snowy peak or in the dusty desert, this camera will keep shooting when others would stop. The K200D’s 11-point AF system locks in the exposure and focus even when your subject is off-center. With image stabilization built into the camera body instead of the lenses, you have a wider selection of lenses to choose from to cover all your travel photography situations.

A nice feature found in the E-520 that travelers will enjoy and use frequently is the shadow adjustment feature. With this technology, exposure in shadows is adjusted while maintaining detail in the bright areas. With the E-520, you can shoot under a jungle canopy, on a bright white-sand beach or anywhere where you find extreme contrast between bright and dark areas and be assured your images will be properly exposed.
