CITIES, SLICKER

If you're a culture vulture, a foodie, a street photographer or a bit of all three, there's nothing like a city break - so here's what to pack

PANASONIC LUMIX GH6

₹2.76 lakh / panasonic.com/in

As far as shooting video is concerned, we think the Panasonic GH6 may be the best small camera on the planet. This mirrorless marvel uses the Micro Four Thirds system, and its compact sensor means you can bolt on a high-quality lens without the whole setup getting back-breakingly heavy – perfect for accompanying you in exploring an unfamiliar city.

The classic DSLR shape makes it a joy to use, with all the buttons right where they need to be. There’s also powerful in-body image stabilisation to keep things steady when shooting handheld, two card slots to provide plenty of storage, and options for effective face and body detection to help the autofocus system stay locked onto the right things.

Bruise power

Going somewhere rough and dismal? Say, the UK? The GH6 is built for all-day outdoor use, with a rugged magnesium alloy frame and resistance against both water and dust.

Lay down selfie

In case you’re the most important thing in every video you shoot, the tilt-and-twist screen can be faced in almost any direction, making selfies and other awkward shots a cinch.

Well slow old friend
