You need two cameras for Travel
May 16, 2017 13:41:31 #
I think two dslr's are a good idea on vacation. No lens switching. When I purchased my D800 I kept my D7000. On vacation I keep my Tamron 10-24mm on the D7000. It's my dedicated wide angle camera. On our list trip the 24-70 stayed on the D800. However, I had the 70-200 and 28-300 with me.

IMHO...DSLR's are never a good idea ;-) See my signature.

Might that not be a bit narrow-minded?

I occasionally slap a TV surveillance lens on my D800 for the effect it provides!

If you think a phone will take a better pictures than a D750, then you do not know how to use you camera. Playing photographer with a phone just makes you a picture taker. Get rid of your D750.
Low light is actually where phones are particularly weak.

Well whatever works for an individual, it's up to them. Want to use a "real" camera, go ahead. If you want to you a cell phone camera be my guest. It is an individual choice low light or otherwise.
A recent TV ad for the new Samsung, it was all about the camera feature. I personally do not know of anyone who uses a cell phone to take pictures ever taking them off their phones. Whether to print them or download them to a computer.

I have an iPhone and a D800e. Here's my approach. I don't use my phone to take photos and I don't make calls on my camera. It keeps life simpler that way.

I do--both. I also shoot with a Nikon D800 and a Fuji X-T2.

I have a smartphone that has a good camera. However at my age, I don't use it like teenagers or young adults, endlessly taking selfies. That's an enjoyment I'm certain I would do, if I was a teenager. However, owning a DSLR, a Bridge Camera, and a good 20 megapixels Sony pocket camera. I see no need to ever use a smartphone as a travelling camera. At least for myself. I bought my smartphone to make phone calls, and for social media primarily.

I normally take at least two also. Any combination from Nikon D7000, Fuji X-Pro1 (superb at high ISO), Nikon Coolpix A, Nikon V1. I recently started to leave the D7000 behind and only travel with the Fuji and the Coolpix A. A wonderful combination (for me) that does all I ask of it with great quality.

This is why I shoot m4/3 - large enough to print 30x40, small enough to almost fit in my pocket (depending on lens choice).
With my GM1, there's no "almost"...

You're missing out on some great experiences.

According to some of the commenters I'm not a real photographer because I sometimes use a smart phone to take pictures. Here is an example of a non-real photograph snapshot taken with the iPhone.
