🎥 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.

📸 My Camera Journey

2018
First camera: A used Sony RX100 III. Took it to Thailand and realised I needed better low-light performance.
2019
Upgrade to APS-C: Bought a Fujifilm X-T20. Fell in love with film simulations. Took it to Japan and shot over 5,000 frames.
2020
Started vlogging: DJI Osmo Pocket 3 (original) — realised that compact + gimbal is the future of travel video.
2021
First "serious" video kit: Sony ZV-1 + GoPro Hero 9. Started filming travel content for YouTube.
2022
Travel spree: 7 countries in 12 months. Shot with X100V, GR IIIx, and Pocket 2. Realised how important size is for travel.
2023
Launched Holiday Video Camera: A blog to share everything I learned. First posts: "Best Holiday Video Cameras" and "Goa Travel Guide".
2024–2025
Testing everything: Pocket 3, Hero 12/13, X100VI, GR IV, ZV-1 II, ZS99, PowerShot V1. Expanded to 15+ destination guides.
2026
Full site refresh: Updated all guides, added 4 new city guides, and now helping travellers choose the right camera for every trip.

🎒 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.
