I've always used Nikon SLRs, and have boxes full of Nikkor lenses, so I bought a Nikon D800. It's a fantastic and ultra-sophisticated camera and makes superb pictures even with very old non-zoom lenses. It isn't difficult to carry around and is great if you are a photographer who travels by bike.
However, for a cyclist who also wants to take good photos, a compact or camera-phone is far easier. I confess (as a Nikon lover) that Canon make excellent compacts, as do Panasonic and Fuji. And Nikon, obviously. I also use a GoPro HD Hero as a point-and-hope camera. (It has no viewfinder, so takes some getting used to. I like it, because it reminds me of a 5x4 47mm camera I once built.)
Lets not start another war snigbo .... please
arrh..... home built 5x4 , sheet film .... takes you back doesn't it
