There's a risk of increased Moire in the cameras with no filters.
In 35 mm film cameras I always preferred Nikon. In digital it's hard to choose either over the other. I started out with the Pentax Spotmatic many moons ago and preferred the Takumar lenses to either canon or Nikon in 35mm.
Just bring a Canon and a Nikon!
Nikon D800, will use your lenses on 15mp crop, just get a nifty fifty cheap for it to use the full frame.
My friend, a press photog, had the 1DX while I have the Canon IDS Mark 111 we both agreed that the latter produced bigger and clearer enlargements.
Yes, Canon and Sony appeal more to the everyday consumer. I have Canon cameras for the L lenses. I started out in photography back in 1966 with a Pentax Spotmatic because I preferred the Takumar SMC 50/1.4 to anything Nikon had at the time. But Nikon kept ahead with the press crowd, and Canon shot ahead of Pentax with the EOS launch. I have both Nikon and Canon pro digitals today, usually shoot with the smaller Fuji X camera, and with Bronica, Mamiya film cameras every chance I get.
It will shoot at ten frames a second, set that. Set shutter priority at not less than a thousandth of a second, depending on the light, whack up the ISO if needs be to compensate for increasing the shutter sped. For a field game like football you need at least a 300mm lens. Tripod if you don't use a VR lens. Fire away!
Fair enough, thank you. David Bailey actually gives complete YouTube videos singing the superiority of film over digital - that he absolutely blasts! In fact,I would not at all be as hard on digital as he is, in fact I enjoy digital but depend on film!
You imply that digital is better than film? If so, not a chance! Film blows up more unless you're using 36 megapixels as in Nikon D800 series. Digital hasn't a hope against the famous bokeh of the Bronica Zenzanon 80/2.8 - that even beats the Bokeh of the Hasselblad, if not the sharpness.
Digital can never achieve the rich black and white of film, either.
It's probably handy for that all right, but I have always painted from the impression the scene made on my mind. To tell the truth, I hate phones. And mostly it's the ancient druidic sites that I'm concerned with. Hope you get to Ireland some day between the rains!

I only carry my phone if my wife is not with me; which is not often. I have never taken a picture with it. Don't even know how. I am proud of that fact.
True, I'd like to see the phone that would produce a blowup in black and white as good as my Bronica and Mamiya, or even anywhere near my Nikon D800 in colour.
None come near my painting of the Mound of the Hill of Tara in Ireland!
I never became an artist or photographer to go pissing around with a cellphone!
Yes, by a 'D':-)
The Nikon F, a 'terrible beauty' born.
A Nikon F100, giving 120 Megapixels depending on the film, blows any digital out of the water!

I never sell or give away old cameras. I use my D200 occasionally on hikes in spite of having a D3x, 7200 and 850. It's just a fine old camera that continues to take great photos.

Probably because it's the only CCD?
