I'm so afraid of tripping here in Boston with their uneven sidewalks. I do a LOT of walking in Boston; I don't use a car. I tend to trip and land on my face about twice a year, it seems. Sometimes I march, to pick up my feet. Especially when I am tired. And with a camera around my neck, I must be careful, or the camera could be destroyed. I have also fallen down due to slipping on ice as well. Even though it is the LAW for property owners to shovel their sidewalks after snow storms, a few do not. So I know what you are going thru.

Try a single hiking pole when walking on uneven surfaces. Even if you trip the hiking pole may keep you upright. The aluminum ones are lightweight and inconspicuous. I use one for hiking (imagine that :) walking the dog, on the beach and around the neighborhood. I am recovering from a surgical repair to badly torn rotator cuff from a fall.

As you all know, I just purchased the canon 5D Mark IV. Questioning my decision. Should I have gone with the Nikon D850? This post isn't meant to be Canon vs Nikon but rather just for information by comparison on the two cameras. I still can return the Mark IV and get the D850 when they are available again. I have made the comparison on B&H and am still undecided. Any thoughts greatly appreciated. Thanks. Vince.
If it is possible to rent a Nikon d 850 while you have the Canon 5D Mark IV (still in the return period) that might help you to make your decision.
As for finding a Nikon d 850 to buy- have you checked out Best Buy? They sometimes have cameras that other stores (internet or mortar/brick) don't. Case in point- I was able to pick up a Fuji X-T2 and a Nikon d 7500 from them while B&H and Adorama had none. Worth a try. Good luck.

You are such a good source of information and consistently helpful!
I have the new Nikon 70-300 mm AF-P (new full frame) f 4-5-5.6 lens. I have it paired with the Nikon d7500 camera which I use for close-in birding and landscapes and I am very happy with that combo. I can see it for sports too. Images are sharp and clear, color is rich, focus is fast and accurate, images can have a bit of a 3D look to them especially in good lighting-that might be what you are noticing.
As far as the 70-200 mm f 2.8 lens- you probably can't beat that. However it comes with big trade offs in size, weight and cost. But many buyers seem to overcome that- at least at first. Maybe the f4 version would work for you. It is a super lens. It would be interesting to pair it with the d7500. Hmm, might be worth renting the lens.
For the times you want to go light-
Be careful about "replacing". Think about supplementing in addition to what you now have. And then consider buying used until you find find the one that "fits" well. It's kind of like "Goldilocks and The Three Bears"- this one is too big, this one is too small and you know the rest.
I have the Fuji X-T2. It's not one of the light weight mirrorless cameras but it fits well and with a small prime lens it is quite compact. I also have the Nikon d7500 and with the 50 mm f 1.8 D lens it is quite compact as well. Prime lenses will most always be smaller, lighter, less expensive and sharper than zooms and they travel well.
Yes- I have an excellent Fuji 18 mm f2 prime lens that I would like to sell. It is a compact, light weight, sharp, fast lens that will fit your X-T 20 very nicely. Uses would be street and night photography, landscapes, waterfalls, travel, churches and cathedrals- inside and out. I've used it on my Fuji X-T2 with good results. If interested PM me and we can talk about price.
For DIY film developers at home, where do you dispose of the chemicals that you use?
Very unique. Great image :)

Hello,
How do you make the LCD screen on the Canon Powershot SX530 HS brighter?
I checked the manual and could not locate how to do this.
Thank you
Have you tried going to "tools" and "set up menu" then "lcd" screen? I don't have this camera but I googled it for instructions. Sometimes it's difficult to find what you want in the manual.
No question, I am in the minority here but I personally wouldn't buy any of the Nikon "trinity lenses" for my DX camera. They are expensive and heavy and did I say expensive! The wide angle advantage is lost when you factor in the crop value. And if I wanted a 70-200 mm lens I would look at the f 4 version- lighter and much cheaper but still an excellent choice. You might look at a couple of primes to fill in wide and mid focal lengths- much better value while being a fraction of the weight of the big bazookas.
If you can afford an iPhone at $1000+ a pop (no matter how the price is disguised) then you can afford a pretty good digital camera.
CL= continuous low- burst rate
CH= continuous high
S= single shot
You can set the camera to fire if in focus or out of focus
