I spent the weekend in Boyertown, PA at a ukulele festival. Lots of fun. I had to decide what camera(s) to bring. I brought a Fuji X-T30, GoPro, DJI Pocket 2, and Sony WX9. The first three never left the car. The tiny Sony stayed on my belt in its case. I could pop it out, take a shot, and put it back. It worked fine for outdoor shots, but in a dimly lit room - not so much. With wide open lens and slow shutter, and my less than steady hands, there was lots of blurry indoor shots. I used it for (indoor) video, too, with iffy results.

I more or less knew what to expect from this camera, but the alternative was out of the question. Carrying a ukulele and a bag of stuff, I wasn't about to add a camera. Overall, I'm satisfied with the results. I got some good pictures, and the people running the event will post many more - taken by a professional. When I get around to processing, I'll post some.

Here are a few from a quick look. All the large animal images were taken behind fences or mesh and I was still able to get these results. The panther image was cropped and then the next with the face was from the same image only at 100%. You can all decide what you think.

Nikon Z7II and Tamron 70-300 new one for the Z camera.

Eagle taken at F6.3 ISO 200 1/50 sec 300mm
panther at F6.3 ISO 400 and 1/40 sec 210 mm
Flower at F6.3 ISO 400 1/40 sec and 198 mm
Lizard at F6.3 ISO 400 1/2000 and 300mm
tiger at F6.3 ISO 400 1/100 and 260mm

I'll be giving more of a workout over the next few weeks. Let me know your first impressions.

My condolences to my British friends here and abroad. While as a US citizen I don't recognize a monarchy (bow to or give allegiance to) , I have to say I very much liked and admired Queen Elizabeth the II. When she could have fled to the relative safety of the countryside during WWII, she stayed in London and actually played a part in the war as an ambulance driver. She was the epitome of grace, culture, and elegance. In the Oxford dictionary the only definition needed would be Queen Elizabeth II. She will be missed.

My Nikon Z 24-200mm lens arrived yesterday. FedEx was a day late delivering, but it was still a fast delivery - five days. Although it's listed as "Used," it looks new. Everything in the Nikon box looks like it was never touched. The items are wrapped and taped just like they left the factory.

It works fine on the Z fc and the Z6 II. I saved about $150, and the lens has zero clicks on it, so it had never been used.

MPB received my three old cameras and lenses yesterday, and they'll get back to me when they evaluate them. Money in - money out.

EDIT: MPB offered me $100 for my Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 ED lens. KEH offered $222.00. KEH has a better system for entering items. I could click on items in a long list - case, cap, two caps, etc. They also provide room for comments. For example, I can tell them that this was New Old Stock, and I was the first owner. The shipping is free via FedEx, and there is a FedEx drop-off store less than a mile from my house.
