Whether you’re traveling to see the sights in Europe, heading to a picturesque island getaway or camping out in the woods, a digital camera should be an essential inclusion on any trip. A number of factors determine what is just the right camera — price, size and features — but just like your choice of getaway, there is certainly something that is right for you. That trip might not last forever, but fortunately you can snap away and keep those precious memories long after you’re back home. Here are a few choice options.Olympus Tough TG-3
If your ideal getaway is on par with an Indiana Jones-style adventure, you’ll need a camera that is as rugged as the intrepid archaeologist. The Olympus TG-3 has “tough” in the name. It is waterproof to 50 feet, can handle drops from 7 feet and is crush-proof to 220 pounds. This all-weather camera is also dust-proof and freeze-proof to 14 degrees Fahrenheit. Its 16-megapixel sensor will ensure you get crisp, detailed photos, while the built-in GPS will let you geotag your photos so you can prove you really were there. $349.99 at getolympus.comPanasonic Lumix DMC-GM1KSProfessional photographers do get great results from an SLR camera, but they’re paid to carry that bulky hardware. For the rest of us, the Panasonic Lumix might be a better option. This Micro Four Thirds camera features an iconic design that seems fittingly retro and will be stylish on that stroll down exotic streets. It also offers modern digital camera technology inside. Its large camera sensor is nearly unmatched in photographic quality, while interchangeable lenses add to its versatility. With its built-in wireless connectivity and “Light Speed” auto focus, it proves big things come in small packages. $749.99 at panasonic.comCanon PowerShot ELPH 140 ISVacations should be stress-free, and Canon’s PowerShot is designed to make photography easy for just about anyone. This small point-and-shoot camera features a 16-megapixel sensor, while the DIGIC 4+ image processor will provide solid performance in low light. It offers an optical zoom that gets up close to your subject, and the “Smart Auto” feature selects the right settings for 32 shooting situations. Given this one’s price, the most upsetting part about losing it might be that you didn’t download your photos first. $129.99 at canon.comSamsung Galaxy Camera 2 Wi-FiWhy wait until you’re home to show the photos?

It runs on Android 4.3 and offers 2GB of RAM. The built-in Wi-Fi lets you transfer and share photos and video while you’re still taking in the sights. $449.99 at samsung.com
