My phone has become my second camera, and sometimes my primary camera when I don’t want the hassles of bulk and weight on an outing or a hike.

On a a recent trip to the Caribbean Island of Sint Maarten/St. Martin I shot with my 50mp Sony A1, and 61mp Sony A7RIV alongside my stepson who was shooting with his iPhone 14. I had with my a few lenses which covered me from 17mm to 600mm. The iPhone 14 has lenses that cover 13mm, 24mm, 48mm, 77mm (some of that accomplished with a digital crop) .

The iPhone made some very nice photos, especially in low light, but a lot of that from that tiny Sony sensor and tiny Sony mirrorless camera inside the iPhone is accomplished with a lot of AI. Nothing wrong with that if you are happy with the results.

Once we blew up those heavily AI iPhone shots and compared them to my 50mp and 61mp images from my Sony cameras, it was obvious that the iPhone shots could not hold up in quality to the fullframe Sony shots, and started to break up and you could see the AI artifacts clearly.

If weight is the most important thing, then yes ditch your fullframe cameras and use only your smartphones and be happy with the results. But if you are on a bucket-list trip you might want to think twice about accepting less than the best image quality you have available to you.

Your choice, your decision on what matters most in your photography. Yes as most people do, I do carry a smartphone with me, but mainly for use as a phone and online tool. Only use it as a camera in a pinch.

Here is one iphone 14 shot by my stepson Alex from that trip. It is very good, but does start to break up if you blow it up. And I took this iPhone image and did my best to clean up much of the noise and those AI artifacts in Lightroom, but much of that is still there.

Cheers and best to you all. .

I agree with our friends here. If you want to carry two camera bodies, then a good idea. Most of your shots will be outdoors as Ireland is one big photoshoot. I would personally not carry a tripod as you will be shooting mostly daylight projects. The less weight you can carry, the better. Don't be disappointed if you have some rain or even fog as it can vary from place to place on your travels. Great place to visit!

I went to Ireland in May. I always take a back up camera on that type of trip and my iPhone as a third option. I took a full frame canon 5Div and just two lenses, my canon 24-70 Lf2.8 lens and 70-200mm IS f2.8. The 2nd camera was Sony rx100 model VII with built in Zeiss 24-70mm lens, this is my lightweight travel camera. I took one canon speed light. The Sony was accidentally left in the hotel lobby and when we realized it the next morning, it eventually showed up (another story) but the the flash wold not open. This was the very first time that a camera partially went down on a trip. I always take extra SD cards which I’ve never gone down on me remote trigger, other necessary stuff

Canon G1x mark III with a large APSC sensor , small and light. Five pictures from Ireland with the only camera I brought, a few years ago. It was nice to travel light.

It seems like you would be most comfortable taking the D610 with that 28-300mm lens, and the D7100 with the 11-16mm lens. Both your D610 and D7100 are decent in low light, so skip the f1.4 lenses.

Everyone says you wont need anything longer than a wide lens, but many photographers just walk by and dont even see the excellent and different landscape compositions with a longer focal length in addition to the obvious wide angle compositions. As a longtime Professor of Photography at a state university, I try to help my students train their eyes to see more possible compositions.

Cheers and best to you.

I have to endorse the recommendation to take the D610 with the 28-300 and the D7100 with the 11-16.

Leaving for Ireland in a week and would like recommendation on what lenses to take. I have a Nikon D7100 and Nikon D610. Lenses are:
Nikon 20-200mm f2.8 (FX)
Nikon 28-300mm f3.5-5.6 (FX)
Nikon 35mm f1.4 (DX)
Nikon 50mm f1.4 (FX)
Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 (DX)
Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 (FX)
Any suggestions for combination camera and lenses? Trying to stay minimalistic and not take too much equipment. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!


the law in Ireland requires that all cameras in lenses be green colored.
