If you've taken the last year to get to know your neighborhood, local parks, or even made road trips to experience all that your region has to offer, there's no doubt you've taken quite a few photos on your smartphone along the way. And while phones these days have cameras that rival the professional models, there are some things that a good digital camera can achieve that our phones may not be able to.

What's more, there's something to be said about the feeling of bringing along a camera solely for the sake of capturing your environment. A quality camera is able to get you closer to your surroundings by forcing you to pay closer attention to color, distance, and detail. Who knows? You may have a better eye than your phone camera could have ever shown that you had.

Whether you're a seasoned photographer ready to upgrade your current tools or get started shooting your adventures with something better and more dedicated than a phone camera, the Sony a7 Full-frame Mirrorless Camera is a great option — and it's currently $300 off as an early Amazon Prime Day deal.

Looking to get into vlogging? The OIEXI 4k Digital Vlogging Camera, currently 20% off, is the perfect entry-level flip-screen video camera for the task. Interested in a portable model that combines high-quality resolution with both photo and video capabilities? Try the Panasonic LUMIX G95 Mirrorless DSLR, which is currently on sale for 30% off.

When it comes to choosing a camera to carry around while traveling, something lightweight that offers the greatest range (unless you have a precise idea of what you'd like to capture and how) of possibility when taking photographs is ideal — and this camera gives you just that.
