LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY

POINT AND SHOOT

For landscape photographers who want a simple setup for all circumstances, without specialised lenses and bags of equipment. 

Solutions > Landscape > Point and Shoot

If you fancy getting some lovely landscape shots, but would rather carry something around in your pocket rather than committing to a camera with detachable lenses and multiple bells and whistles, you can achieve some wonderful results with a compact fixed-lens camera. Landscape shots are often rather wide, so for the enthusiastic amateur, you don't need to pick something with proper zoom, lightning fast autofocus or features like subject tracking etc. A compact camera tends to be a huge step up from your smartphone, and once you've seen what you can achieve, perhaps you'll be interested in something a little more specialised next time!

Option 1 - Sony ZV-E10, Sony E 16-70mm F4 Lens
Weekend from £60 - hire now!

Widely known as a vlogging camera, it’s easy to dismiss the Sony ZV-E10 for other purposes but the fact is, this is a powerful camera with a lovely 24-megapixel sensor. Crucially, unlike most compact offerings, the ZV-E10 supports interchangeable lenses, making it a viable option for all sorts of disciplines, landscape included. Featuring Sony’s always capable autofocus along with fabulous remote connectivity, this is a great choice for the landscape shooter looking to avoid all the fuss. 

Partnering the ZV-E10 is a fantastic offering from Zeiss, the T* E 16-70mm offers a nice wide angle for those sprawling vistas but also provides generous reach for when you do want to pick out a detail or two. Also included, 2 batteries and a charger, plus a 32GB memory card. Be sure to head over to Landscape Photography Accessories if you’re looking for more power or memory too.

Option 2 - Canon EOS R & Canon RF 24-105mm F4 Lens
Weekend from £98 - hire now!

The Canon EOS R may be a little older than the other models on this list, but it still has a great deal to offer. Featuring the same sensor as the Canon 5D mk iv, widely regarded as one of the best landscape photography DSLRs ever created, the EOS R is strong in low light and offers fantastic visibility via its OLED electronic viewfinder. Throw in excellent compatibility with EF lenses via the included adapter, and this becomes an excellent entry point for DSLR shooters making the jump.

A lack of image stabilisation won't be of relevance to many landscape photographers, plus we’ve paired this camera with a lens that has stabilisation of its own. The RF 24-105 F4L is an extremely versatile option, offering width as well as reach, and as an L-series lens it features robust weather-sealing for peace of mind in all conditions. Speedy, smooth and accurate, this lens is the perfect compromise between fidelity and portability.

This package also comes with 2 batteries and a charger, as well as a 64GB memory card. Head over to Landscape Photography Accessories if you’re looking for more power or memory, and to check out filters and tripods.
