Smart phone is good in picture taking not because of its sensors size but of processing power? lens quality?
Why can't dslr makers match those features and can also take Apps and make calls and handle E-mails?

Frankly, I intended to have both my 28-135 and 28-300. But somehow I missed packing the 28-135. So I used the Tamron 28-300 for everything. It's neither the fastest nor the sharpest. I used the full 300. Larger animals are fine at shorter distances, as you're normally as close as 2 meters. Birds are frequently far away.
thanks, did you use a tripod?
Is there any evening or night activities there?

Didn't see any condors. But that's a very possible suggestion. Their talons would be that large. Saw lots of iguanas but none leaving the water. Most were in lounge mode or working their way to the dunes.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing those photos, I am also planning a solo backpacking trip there in this October.
How many islands did you go?
I have the Nikon D610 with a walk-around 24-85mm. Do you think I need my longer zooms which are Nikon 70-200mm and Tamron 200-400, they are not the fast lens?

In many years, I've never had this happen. I read a bit about it, and based on that reading, my thoughts are that you may be shutting down PS incorrectly. This link gives some information on the subject.

It must be the cause that some files were not saved(even though I had them Saved-as already when PS is(sometimes forced) shut off.
But I wonder if I can shut off this file-recovering feature?
Are every PS users happy with this feature? Or it just happens to me.

Every time I open my Photoshop, it retrieves several of my previous edited files and recreates a new version with the filename "-Recovered" added; even though I last closed my Photoshop saving all my edits. I don't like this feature because it takes several minutes to recreate that and then I have to delete them.
How can I shut off this function?
Any suggestion?

It wasn't a real Rolex? What a shocker!
you have never heard of a not real Rolex? Yes, a look alike, weight alike, you need a real one side by side to see the difference, but you paid less than sale tax of a real one.
The not real Rolex is not for me, but I have a not real automatic Omega which I paid about $50.
You probably have not heard a lot of not real stuffs too.

If you bring a Rolex from abroad or anything over $300, US customs may tax you.
But if the seller mails you the Rolex, you pay nothing but the watch in the city with no import tax such as Hong Kong. I did(mailed) that one time and it was not a real Rolex.
Some Ebay sellers says it is the buy's responsibility to pay their own country's custom if any.

But for more expensive items such as a few hundreds or a few thousands, it may raise an eyebrow of the US or the destination customs.
I wonder if any body has to pay customs with the foreign mail orders ?
I think because it is a small package, both customs would not charge any for consumer usage. I guess.

Imposition is one thing, collection another entirely. I have no idea of current US policy on the latter but it's certainly not the buyer's responsibility, right?

A friend of mine from Taiwan ordered some stuff from Amazon made in China, and have me mail to him. They are not expensive items, usually less than $50. In the US post office, I have to declare the items and their cost. The Amazon doesn't charge tax, I don't and neither does him.
This kind of stories may change when the trade war is ON.

do you mean the Ebay sellers/exporters have already paid those?
I didn't know.

I'm not sure that I understand your logic or math there. Perhaps you could explain in simple terms?
Tariffs, customs duties etc. are part of international trade. They can be 'avoided', but it really isn't wise to do so as a legitimate business, and insurance value needs to taken into consideration, when shipping anything of value.

Do you ever buy from Ebay sellers/exporters? If so, did you ever have to pay custom duties and sale tax?
It can't be any simpler. The law may change.

Do the foreign mail sellers pay tariffs?

That isn't an entirely risk free exercise, although it can work out very well, but be careful how you do it.
Most camera accessories (and more than 50% of the consumer merchandise) are made in China, they would be much cheaper if trade war is ON when We don't have to pay for the extra tariff and sale taxes.
Then the US may require foreign mail buyers to pay custom duties at the post offices.

Take the 18-55. Case closed.
if you have to choose between the 2, because if you bring both, that 18-55 will be used over 95% of the time. But if you want to take some selfies(a remote is handy $3 from Ebay), pano, multi-focus, HDR bracketing and night shots, bring along a tripod(about $30); I recommend get the snap leg release one, always attach the fast release to the camera, and improvise a shoulder strap.
