I remember seeing this YouTube video about this lens which didn't fare well as I recall in her test. As I recall, it was so bad she returned it.

Agree. Just another media twit pushing an opinion because someone gave him a forum to rant.

At the end of NFL games, it's routine for the Christian players of both teams to gather in a circle for a brief prayer. Because the bosses of the sports networks h**e religion and despise Christians, they NEVER show this. Instead they have b.s. interviews and 'talking heads.'
It's a football game not a church service.

Hello
Very often we see a post where the person is trying to identify something.
My daughter introduced me to a phone app called Google Lens.
You simply take a picture of the thing you want to identify and within seconds it gives the answer.
Have tried it on plants, my dogs and a caterpillar and it has been right each time.
The app even gives you links to the item.

No such app in the Apple App Store.

I was very fortunate to get to spend 2 weeks in Alaska during the peak fall color season. And also lucky that Mt Denali was in full view for two days while there
When is/was peak fall color season?

I just returned from a two week trip to Utah with 3000 photos. I probably have about 50 that are interesting, 10 that are pretty good and 3 that are portfolio worthy. I really enjoyed taking every one of them!
I agree that is about my hit ratio as well. Ansel Adams said 12 photos in a year was a pretty good crop and who knows how many images he took in a year in his most productive years -- probably thousands I'd guess.

All that is true but as the song says: "You don't need to be a weather man to know which way the wind is blowing." There definitely seems to be a shift to mirrorless occurring.

Are there any apps that show you photo locations or spots for an area I plan to visit such as Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg, Tn. I did google the area and found a few but was wondering how everyone locates photo spots on vacation.
I've found this site can be somewhat useful: https://loadedlandscapes.com/state-photo-guides/

Congratulations. I have one and am very happy with it.
Tony Northrup has a good tutorial on how to use the camera and set it up.

If you're a Nikon family, it makes sense to stay Nikon. If the DSLR was too big / complicated, see if you can find a store to visit that has the following so your wife can handle and consider: Nikon COOLPIX B700, Nikon COOLPIX A900.
If the pocket size is a attractive, consider too the Canon G7X (or G9X) models.

My wife uses one of the Coolpixs (not sure which one) and I find the images not to be very good so I would avoid that. Here is a video that compares a couple of point and shoots that look interesting and would seem to fit the bill.

I use a MacBook Pro with 16GB of memory and 256 GB of storage. I would recommend at least double of the amount of storage (512GB or better yet 1 TB) for future proofing. As to photo editing, I use Luminar but I would avoid Luminar 3 as it is very buggy in my experience. Go with Luminar Flex which is much more stable but lacks the Data Management feature.
