World's largest telescope to be switched on as scientists step up search for alien life...
The extraterrestrials supposedly arrived in Roswell, New Mexico, 1947. Rumor has it the dead bodies were sent to Wright Patterson Air Base at Dayton, Ohio? Since the Chinese and Russians are way ahead of the US in Cyber-hacking. Imagine what they could do if the extraterrestrials landed in either country and shared their secrets with them?

New England Patriots Win Two Straight Games Without Tom Brady
Tom Brady, Quarterback of the New England Patriots was suspended for the first 4 games for the Deflategate controversy. Commissioner Roger Goodell spent millions of dollars to accomplish this suspension. He won. But no one anticipated that without Tom Brady, the Patriots would win two straight games. Winning two games was Coach Belichick's goal before the return of Tom Brady. And their next best player, Rob Gronkowski has missed two straight games. Love or hate the Patriots. They know how to win games.

Why did you want a camera?

My first camera was a kodak X15 and used magicubes for the flash. I don't remember why I wanted it, but it is what I asked for and received as an 8th grade graduation gift.


My Kodak Instamatic was the model 104 with the same magic cubes for the flash. And if I can remember, I used 126 Kodak cartridge film.

new nikon p350?
toddtodd wrote:
when will nikon release p350?


Welcome to the forum. There was a Nikon P340 camera that has now been discontinued. So, it makes sense the next one could be the P350. Nikon also made a P530. The most recent is the Nikon B700. On pre-order now. 60X fixed lens. You may want to select something else for now. Good luck.

I do not quite understand your statement here. Good or bad, DSLR or not, what makes the quality an over ride to the memories?

Grand ma eating her veggies from the roots is still grand ma, That she could have been 'captured' by a sensor or a chemical process makes no difference... Both can be atrocious but her grumpiness still exists...*

(My grand ma was a mean person toward the end of her life, hitting the staff trying to help her... So I am biased here, I describe her, no one else...)

Perhaps I should have said that the family photos encouraged me to pick up a camera. My first camera was a Kodak Instamatic film/cartridge type. A lot of family photos of the past were shot in black and white. Photos are now filed in computers, and are quality photos, that can be improved with PP. If desired.

d7100 vs d5500

The flip-out LCD is a nice feature.


I agree. Someone I know owns a D7100. He didn't upgrade to the D7200. But says if the successor to the D7200 has a flip out LCD, he will upgrade. Maybe 2018?

Why did you want a camera?
While we all want to have the best gear that money can buy, to take excellent good photos. Sometimes that doesn't matter. I have family photos that were taken with cheap film cameras of their day. When I look at them, some are not good quality. Underexposed are some. But they never take away the memories. Photos of such would be unacceptable in today's digital cameras. Even the cheap ones.

d7100 vs d5500
The D5500 is one very good camera. The best of the 5xxx series for now. I could have bought a new D5500 camera body last year at Best Buy for $500 on a promotion they had. And it wasn't gray market either. Nikon firmly sets their prices, so how this was so cheap was surprising. The camera sold out online. I missed the deal. The D7100/7200 has the internal motor, whereas the D5500 does not. Neither does the D3xxx series. I suggest you save your pennies and wait on some Black Friday Deals coming up in the next two months. I'm waiting to see.

Considering full frame camera
You can now get a new Nikon D750 for $2000, and a refurbished one for about $200 less. Someone on this forum, several days ago did his test, and claimed the D750 was superior to the 36 megapixels D810. It was interesting to see his results. But the D810 is renowned IMO. Popular Photography did vote the D750 camera as Camera of the Year for 2014, and the Sony a7RII for 2015. Good luck on your choice.

Macro or not
Canon's 70-200mm 2.8L Is perhaps the NFL most popular sports lens. College and Pro. Nikon's premier 70-200mm is a great lens too. The prime macro lenses with 1:1 magnification are best suited for macro. However I have been told that using a close up attachment lens can do wonders. I've used extension tubes a few times in the past. But never a close up lens.

FBI: "Cover Your Webcam."
The article states the Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, covers all his webcams and microphones. I was told about this last Fall, by a computer technician. I took his advice.

A Few 5d MKIV Shots
Great shots on your new 5D Mark 4. The lens is sharp, 24-105mm. Blue color on the ship is rich, and you can see the lettering on the ship from the most distant focal length.

Best beginner DSLR with geotaging
Geo-tags are a feature that are on some cameras. A friend used the feature and he says they aren't always accurate to your exact location. But I am certain there are hoggers that know how to fine tune this feature.

P&S (again)
Were you not convinced about the description of a point and shoot camera on the recent post and discussion, just several days ago on this topic?
