YES!

Really?

Who made you KING of photographic knowledge?

Nor is there a 42-150mm Micro 4/3 lens. There is a 14-150mm and several 40-150mm lenses, however.

Beautiful image of a beautiful cougar, (puma or mountain lion). What I find interesting is the swirly background and that the light (sunlight?) is from the right side and behind the cat, but the cat does not throw a shadow to the left-foreground of where it is standing. There is no indication a frontal light was used, so just exactly how was this image captured, and what lens creates a swirly lined background?

Got rid of a Sony because the shutter quit (died) and the local repair shop said it was not worth repair/replacement. Got rid of a second Sony because the battery died and a replacement was no longer available.
Got rid of a Canon because the internal non-replaceable battery died.

All three of the above cameras were relatively inexpensive point-and-shoot type cameras, assuming $500.00 is an inexpensive camera which is approximately what each of the three cost me at the time of purchase. My next camera was a Nikon DSLR Model 5100 complete with an 18-55mm kit lens which cost me $750.00, bought in 2011. Still have the model 5100 and it still works flawlessly with just over 102,000 shutter actuations. My Nikon D7200 with 131,000 shutter actuations continues to work flawlessly, both great cameras in my humble opinion. However, my Olympus OMD EM5 Mark 2 is my camera of choice now because of its superior 5-axis in-body image stabilization.

Do not assume that I am knocking either the Sony or Canon camera brands, I am NOT! I have a Sony video camcorder which although 5 years old works flawlessly and I continue to use my three-year-old Canon video camcorder which also works without issue.

Beautiful photo of a "unique sparrow with incredible variation between populations"...... so says the Merlin Bird ID software from Cornell University. The software has two photos of a Dark-eyed Junco: one is of an "Adult Male (Pink Sided) while the other photo is of a "Female/Immature (Oregon) Dark-eyed Junco. Both photos are nearly identical to your photo in terms of coloration. All I can add is that my two bird feeders here in Surrey, BC Canada are inundated with Juncos, some of which have the exact same color variation depicted in both your photo and the two photos in the Merlin Bird ID software. If you do not have this software (it is free for download) I recommend you get a copy. I have mine loaded on an iPad Mini (easy to carry in the field). I have not investigated if an Android version of the software with accompanying maps is available too.

Because those cars were designed to be driven on roads that drive on the left side of the road as is the case in England, Wales, Scotland, Australia, India, Pakistan, South Africa, Tanzania, and Zambia just to name a few. In short, not all of the 182 countries of the world drive on the right-hand side of the road as you do in the USA.

Nope, it is a Jaguar.

The second one!

Next cruise Jerry try a Black Sea cruise!

LiPo (Lithium Polymer) batteries similar to those used in Tesla cars can be problematic for fire departments to extinguish. LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries such as those used in Ford F150 and other model cars are not subject to self-emolation. LiFePO4 battery technology is safer for mobile uses where the risk of fire may be present.

I have visited the gorillas in Rwanda and photographed them using a Nikon D5100 with a 18-200mm kit lens. Almost all my shots were with the lens set to 18 to 55mm, F3.5 to 5.6, ISO 1600 or higher. You will be able to approach the gorillas to within 7m (21 feet) legally. However, when that regulation was established by the government, someone in the government of Rwanda failed to send a copy of the regulation to the gorillas! Both my wife and I experienced multiple occasions where the gorillas approached us and touched us! A high magnification lens is definitely not needed. I have sold my complete Nikon kit in favor of Olympus mirrorless micro 4/3 equipment and wish I had that kit with the F1.8 12mm, 17mm, 25mm, and 45mm prime lenses with me. With the fast f1.8 apertures of those lenses along with the 4-5 stop IBIS stabilization in the Olympus cameras, I would have faired much better and considerably reduced the weight I was carrying during the 3.5-hour trek up the mountain to the gorilla's location. I'm 81 years young and like you finding heavy camera bodies and even heavier lenses are no longer viable for me.
Remember to take along a good pair of well-broken-in hiking boots, as you will undoubtedly experience a typical tropical jungle rainstorm during your trek making the jungle floor slippery with ankle-deep. mud and fallen bamboo leaves and branches. You should consider a way of securing your camera, with the lens of your choice, attached to the camera. You will need both of your hands free to help you climb the steep incline of the mountain trek, or on the decline to prevent yourself from falling. It definitely helps to be in good physical condition and accustomed to high-altitude hiking.
I wish you a great trip and an thrilling gorilla encounter!

Do you have US$1,499.99 to spend? If so, treat yourself to an M.Zuiko ED 4-150mm F2.8 PRO constant aperture Pro lens. If that is too much for your budget, then consider the M.Zuiko ED 14-150mm F4.0-5.6 II waterproof wide-angle to telephoto zoom lens at US$649.99.

I own both the 40-150mm F4.0-5.6 R ED lens and the 14-150mm F4.0-5.6 II lens and have been very satisfied with the results they provide if I do my part. Are either of these two lenses as sharp as the F2.8 40-150 pro lens, no they are not. But, you are not spending $1,500.00 either when buying either of the two non-Pro lenses.
Good luck with your search.
