Just got back from Cuba on Oct 15. I did not want the weight of SLR with lenses so I took Canon SX50 and a small Nikon pocket camera and got a long just fine. It would have nice to have had a light weight tripod for the night shots but that too would have been difficult to carry. Just be careful, anyone with a camera around their neck is a target of the beggars and pan handlers. The good thing is a $1.00 goes a long way in that department.

Have any of you ordered from Roberts Camera lately? I've bought from them before, and I thought I'd buy again today. I buy everything online, so I know what I'm doing. After at least six attempts (Yes, I am persistent), I gave up. I couldn't avoid PayPal, I kept getting blank screens, the quantity of the order kept increasing, etc.
I'll take a break and order from someone else later - someone else who doesn't charge sales tax for NY.

I don't know why anyone would avoid PayPal. They are located in a city close to me and are a major employer and main provider for EBay. Their policies for fraud, returns, and safety are unsurpassed. If anyone has had problems with them, you did not know what you were doing. I would rather accept PayPal for my business than any other source. The only reason not to use them is that you do not earn frequent flier miles!

Keurig has owned up to some problems with their brewers. I called them with a problem with mine and they sent me a new one to replace it.The one that I have now works great.

I know lots of people love the Keurig coffee makers. I've tried two, and both broke within the first 3 weeks. So, needless to say, we are back to the old brewed kind.

I remember Cash - that's the thing that the IRS does not like for deductible expenses and is difficult to get back when it is stolen! Use a credit card for all your expenses and you will be amazed at where your money goes - also, in my case, I get 2 free airline tickets every year!

Been there - done that. Did not see any Hobbits manufacturing Nikons but saw a lot of people with Nikons and Canons hanging around their necks.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good bag around $25.00 to $35.00 for the SX50?
I use a Lowepro Rezo 140AW. My SX50 fits perfectly and allows me to carry the charger and a couple of batteries. Has substantial shoulder strap and a rain cover.
