    I succumbed to a bout of G.A.S. this week and bought a used Coolpix P7800 on Amazon. I've owned several Coolpix cameras (P530, B700, P1000 & A1000) over the years. I sold all of them once I started shooting wildlife in action with Nikon ILCs. One of the things that attracted my interest is that...

    D500 still worth it in 2024?

    It's a great camera. I got mine for shooting wildlife but it will handle most anything. I kept my D7500 as a very capable backup. I've had mainly excellent experiences purchasing used cameras. I got my D500 from MPB 3 years ago for ~$1,250. The shutter count was less than 4,800.

    I do but they were all taken with film cameras and I've never digitized them.

    Copenhagen, Denmark

    Many years ago, long before I retired, I was a "peddler", selling my employer's wares in the Scandinavian countries. Sometimes I had business at the shipyard in Malmö. On those occasions, I made it a point to stay in Copenhagen either at the Hotel d'Angleterre or the Admiral Hotel so that in the...

    Racing classic sailing yachts

    Your pictures stir up memories of when The Americas Cup was a contest between 12 meter boats. Much more interesting than what it eventually morphed into IMO.

    Racing classic sailing yachts

    Your post reminded me of my first experience on a sailboat. I was in college in the early '60s. A buddy who was an accomplished sailor, recruited me and a couple of other guys from school as deckhands to help him sail a beautiful 45' wooden sailboat from Marblehead, MA to Boothbay Harbor, ME...

    I've considered adding a second D500 to my kit. At one point, I actually bought a refurbished one at a good price directly from Nikon during one of its 4 day refurb sales. When I checked the shutter count I found it was ~260K so I returned it. These days, I'm hoping Nikon eventually offers a Z...

    Detaching rear cap of NIKKOR Z 24–70mm f/4 S (kit lens)

    I got a P1000 when it was first released. It's a nice camera but after a while the novelty of the super zoomability (is that a real word?) wore off. These days I'm happy with an FX 70-300mm on my DX bodies or, when I want to reach out further, I have a Sony Cyber-shot RX10 IV (1" sensor, phase...
