I have this lens coupled to my D7200. It stays on that camera 90% of the time. The lens I am speaking about is the 18-200mm 3.5-5.6 GII ED. I find this lens to be very versatile and fairly sharp. Probably 90% of my posts on UHH come from this lens.

Me too. It’s my walk around lens. Very versatile and sharp enough for me.
Join a camera club. You should be ale to find someone to answer your questions and even give you some hands-on instruction.
Start with JPEG, shoot in AUTO, then branch out from there as you learn how to use your camera. RAW is for advanced users who also do advanced editing. Others ma have a much more complex explanation of what RAW is for.

Clearly this was all a ruse to justify another glass of wine. I will try that myself. It's amazing what you can learn on this great site.
I smell a whiff of snobbery in the air. Hopefully there are other forums that can meet you high standards.
You may have a faulty USB port or driver. Trouble shoot your driver. I had that issue with a Dell PC that finally went gunnybag.
The reason is that the dew point of a layer of air near the ground was the same as the ambient temperature, allowing fog to form. Nice shot.

Since this is Photo Analysis, you are supposed to ask something specific about the photos you wish to have analyzed.
I guess "analysis" has many meanings, especially if you don’t read the Admin's note. 😉
And there are readily available inexpensive adapters to go from USB-C to USB or vice versa.

Ho hum!
I just noticed that he roped you into it. 😉
Me thinks there should be a Random Thoughts choice. 😉
I’d opt for a wide to moderate zoom like an 18-200 and use cropping in PP to get closer if needed in big field outdoor situations. Indoors I rarely need more than 135mm. A good sensor that can handle noise is helpful too.
We need to read the Admin's rules for the forum. If you want critique, ASK FOR IT. if you give critique, include your rationale. You can find guidelines on-line for judging photos. We had guidelines in our photo club. Knowing them is very helpful in judging your own photos.
Regardless of the type of scanner, think about whether or not you will be doing some editing on the file and/or you’ll want to make re-prints. I’ve read that 300 DPI, the lowest resolution, can give decent prints of 3x6 or 5x7 but if you want to go larger you’re etter off doing 600 DPI or 1200, maybe even higher. The trade-off is that higher DPI's require longer scan times. And another trade-off is that faster scan times at high DPI's mean more expensive scanners. I’m sure others may have different opinions about this but I’m just going by the little technical knowledge that have.
I used my Sigma 10-20 on my D7000. Worked great.
Depending on age, I have discovered that grandkids may interpret "getting dropped" or "getting wet" differently than we might, especially if they think that they might get into trouble. 😉
