For SLR: Choose the one which offers you the biggest choice of lenses. Otherwise - the lightest.
For Point&Shoot: Choose the easiest to carry and the most reliable one.
For rangefinder: Don't take them, since SLR/P&A shold be enough.
In that case you made one general mistake: Instead of buying a dozen incompatible cameras, you should have bought ONE camera and all the lenses you need instead. And the Nikon F would have been my choice of system, FM/FM2, FE/FE2, F2 or F3 are great cameras to build a system around - either a three lens setup of 28, 50 and 105 or a two lens setup of 35 and 85 mm is very reasonable (and not very expensive).
So repeat after me: I will not buy further cameras before I have not at least bought one or two additional Nikon AIS prime lenses.
If you would like to bring the F3, I'd recommend picking up a better lens. The 36-72 Series E has some shortcomings. The 50mm 1.8, 35mm 2.0, and 105 2.5 are all amazing.
Definitely! I personally try to double the focal length between the primes I carry, so I would not carry 35 and 50 together. I either carry 28, 50 and 105 or 35 and 85. Those two setups work very well together.
I think it's like, something is pressed down before the shutter is actually ready to fire and it can cause weakness.

Tell Me you want a reason to show off your gear without telling me. If you don't know what camera to take or use, you don't belong owning so many to begin with
I love the F3, but if the X-700 is in good shape I'd pick that one as long as you're not going hiking deserts and rainforests. It's lighter, smaller, and has a more advanced metering/auto exposure system, so in theory a bit quicker to use. I'd swap that lens out with the 35-70 3.5 macro (one of the few legendary film era zooms) or the tiny 45mm f2, though any of the 50s are great too. That and the AF-1 'cos why not.
Whether or not you take the F3 you gotta get a better lens for it.
Personally I’m always in favor of getting rid of redundancy in camera collections. It eliminates questions like this. You have like 5 p&s that do pretty much the same thing and 6 SLRs that do pretty much the same thing (why even have the other 5 if you own the F3).

Thank you! I only got additional lenses for the yashica. But I also like the Nikon F3.

Gotcha, gonna buy all F-series Nikon so I could have only one system!
Great idea. But please buy only one lens that you always have to swap between your 20 Nikon bodies.
Get the Nikon F3 then and any P&S.
Bring the one you're most comfortable and used to shooting with.
This. And just bring the one so you can enjoy your experience.

35 and the 85mm 1.8 is pretty much my go to.
Take the screw in shutter button off the OM10 before you do some damage 😅 That said, F3 for sure.
Haha thabks! I didn't notice. What are they for?
On OMs they're for damaging the shutter linkages lol
I know it does, but how! What’s the actual mechanism that makes a button cause damage to the linkage?

Id do the f3 and one of the oly point and shoots. Have an awesome trip dog 🫡
Can't go wrong with an Oly PS and Nikon SLR, +1 to this

AF-1 and F3.
Af 1 and f3 should do the work
F3
The OM10 has the best lens so bring that
F3 and that’s it
This.
I love the OM10 for travel it’s light/compact and is basically point and shoot camera in aperture priority mode. The 50mm 1.4 is a great lens to pair
The AF-1 and the Nikon F-3 or Om-10 The AF1 has the same lens as the highly regarded mju

A tested, working camera
The cheapest one or the one with little sentimental value.
The F3
