This summer I'm going on a 2-week tour of Ireland and Scotland. Space and weight are at a premium and I'm reluctant to take my D5600 and three lenses. Any suggestions on what small bridge camera I could rent and from whom ? Thanks for the help - I'm an experienced beginner !

Cell Phone. It is always with you, and the newer ones take great photos, with some having advanced settings such as zoom and aperture.
Thanks for the advice. I'll check it out.

For our tour of Ireland I took my trusty Canon 70D with the omnipresent 18-135mm lens and that served me so well for the whole trip. I know you ae a Nikon person so something like that would serve you well.

Either the Olympus E-M5mkII or the E-M1mkII paired with either the 12-100 f4 Pro IS (that would be my choice) or the 12-200 f3.5/6.3 along with an extra battery and micro cloth towel. The towel is for removing water off the front element during or after shooting in the rain. The camera/lens will not need a raincoat but you might.

I go to Ireland at least once a year. My Sony A6000 and 18-105mm lens covers all of my needs, but something more water resistant would be beneficial.
Rent from Borrowlens or Lensrentals.
For good scenic locations Google the 'Wild Atlantic Way' and the Antrim Coast - 'Causeway Coastal Route'.
Enjoy and post pics when you get back.
I would suggest you rent the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 IV 20.1MP Digital Camera from BL, that should cover all the pictures you want to take. Go enjoy your self and have a great trip.
You can BUY a Panasonic ZS70 for about $350.00 from B&H Photo. Has everything you could
want/need in a camera. Has a 24-720 MM Leitz lens.......Very sharp & very small.

Maybe bring yr own camera and just 1 or 2 lenses?
The D5600 is already very light, and the 18-55 will cover 90% of anything you might want, if you have an 18-140 or thereabouts, all the better.

Take your D5600 and two of the three lenses. Why wouldn't you, why have it if your not going to use it for a trip like this!

When we were their last I took a D7200 with the Nikon 10-20 and 18-200. Seems to me I did not miss a shot using these two fine Nikon lenses.
I’d take your 5200 and one medium length zoom, maybe an 18-55 or something similar.
