With the latest smartphones featuring pro-level sensors and AI-driven bokeh, many travelers are leaving their heavy DSLRs at home. On the other hand, mirrorless tech (like the Sony ZV series or Fujifilm’s X-series) has never been more compact or powerful.

I’m curious about your 'Creative Carry' this year:

  1. The Daily Driver: What is your primary tool for capturing travel? (A mirrorless hybrid? A GoPro Hero 13? Or a top-tier smartphone?)

  2. The 2026 Trend: Are you leaning into the "Authentic/Candid" look (raw, unedited, spontaneous) or the "Cinematic" look (color-graded, drone shots, 4K/60fps)?

  3. The Edit: What’s your go-to app right now? (Are you an Adobe Lightroom loyalist, or are you using mobile AI editors like CapCut or PicsArt to speed up your workflow?)

Drop a photo of your current setup (or your favorite shot from your last trip) below! Let’s see what everyone is using to document their adventures. 🎥✨
