🎥 The Person Behind the Lens
I'm Dawid Millennium, a travel videographer and the founder of Holiday Video Camera. I started this site because I was tired of reading camera reviews written in labs — not on the road.
Over the past 8 years, I've travelled to 15+ countries across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. I've filmed in the crowded markets of Bangkok, the black sand beaches of New Zealand, the narrow alleyways of Kyoto, and the neon streets of Tokyo. Every camera I recommend on this site has been tested on a real holiday — not a controlled studio.
My mission is simple: help travellers choose the right camera for their next trip by sharing honest, real-world experience. No lab charts. No sponsored fluff. Just practical advice from someone who's been there.
🌍 Destinations I've Filmed
Here are some of the places where I've put cameras to the test:
📸 My Camera Journey
🎒 My Current Gear Kit
This is what I actually carry on trips (it changes depending on the destination):
DJI Osmo Pocket 3
My go-to for walking videos. Gimbal stabilisation is unbeatable.
Fujifilm X100VI
For stills that need to look cinematic. Film simulations save editing time.
Ricoh GR IV
For when I don't want to carry a bag. Jeans-pocket APS-C.
GoPro Hero 13
For beaches, snorkelling, and adventure. Indestructible.
Panasonic ZS99
For zoos, concerts, and wildlife. 720mm reach in a pocket.
Rode Wireless Go II
Audio is half the video. This is what I use for interviews.
💡 My Philosophy
"The best camera is the one you have with you — but the second best is the one that makes you want to take photos. I test cameras on real trips so you don't have to make expensive mistakes."
I don't chase specs for the sake of it. I chase real-world usability. A camera that's sharp but heavy is useless for travel. One that has 8K but drains battery in an hour is a liability. I test these cameras the way you'd use them — in the sun, in the rain, in crowded markets, and in low-light bars.
