Well, they won't work for me. I carry a D7100 with 18-200mm VR2 lens for my photography. I like the ability to zoom between wide angle and telephoto without having to change lenses--on my tours I don't have enough time to make lens changes; heck, I don't even really have time to seek out good positions and do a lot of shooting on the fly. Until they figure out a way to put an 11x zoom on those itty-bitty phone cameras, they're not for me.

I suspect that they work fairly well, and for people who only have a phone camera they probably serve a need. I have doubts that the lens quality can equal, let alone exceed, that of Nikon and Canon (and other good brands). I don't see how the tiny sensor can possibly be able to give better pictures than a good DSLR, even one with the smaller sensor. The only real advantage those phone cameras have is that they are small, don't weigh much, and many people always have one with them. (I don't even have one.) Carrying around that little packet of accessory lenses will very soon get old, and I doubt most folks will bother unless they are on a tour.

Very nice photos. I've been to some of those places and you captured them well.

Very nice. I've been to Rainbow Falls and have some similar shots. Very pretty place.

For prints I just use a scanner. For some years I used a flatbed scanner and now a 4-function machine. For my purposes those did the job well. I've used several different scanners for my slides, but only the expensive ones do the job to my satisfaction. I have thousands of slides in CarouselĀ® trays that I'd like to scan and wish there were some way of directly attaching my projector to my camera--it would make things so much easier.

I've been there several times and photographed the Falls. Your photos are excellent.

Very nice photo! The lake was very still and the reflections are superb.

Two Medicines and Running Eagle Falls is worth doing. Waterton Lakes (in Canada-need passport) and Cameron Falls. Many Glaciers Hotel (back in USA) is also nice. Logan Pass and the McDonald Lake Hotel are worth a look. (There's a nice little waterfall on McDonald Creek.) I saw a lot of mountain goats on the Logan Pass tour. And a boat cruise on Swiftcurrent Lake is fun. There are 5 Albums in this Collection that might give you some idea what is available: https://www.flickr.com/photos/8712554@N02/collections/72157635037593408/.

I'm afraid the only other "minor" church I've been into was St. Eustache, and the 1999 photos are of very poor quality and I don't want to post them here. If you want to see them, they are the first photos at this link: https://www.flickr.com/photos/8712554@N02/albums/72157624822850892/page2/.

Simply gorgeous! I especially liked #3. (That one would be stunning printed on metal.)

I love it! I currently have 6 "indoor" cats and feed 4 "outdoor" ones (feral). I used to have 7 indoor kitties, but the oldest, Rusty, died in 2014. He weighed 26 1/2 pounds! If I were to have a pillow made, it would be of him.

Beautiful! I had 3 clematis plants a number of years ago, but when I had workers redo my small back yard (to gravel), they ripped them out! (I could have killed them!) They also ripped out my nice Blaze rose.

cwaters, thank you for your input. I have rechecked my photos, which I did manage to apply geographic coordinates into the EXIF, and you are absolutely correct. The exterior view I posted is not of Saint-Severin, but of Saint-Nicolas-du-Chardonnet Church, and was no doubt taken from the coach as we passed by. I misidentified it and posted the wrong photo into my FlickrĀ® Album for Saint-Severin. I will fix this ASAP. The photo that should have been there was this one:

A mountain refection in a Canadian lake.
I believe that lake is Maligne Lake, and the photo was taken from about the same place I took my panoramas. I think perhaps we were thinking of different pictures you posted--the one you called a "Canadian Lake" was, indeed, Maligne Lake, and the one I initially responded to was Peyto Lake. David

Well, I did some more searching through my photos and found this one:

Apparently we were told it was "Peyto Lake" (below the Peyto Glacier). I think they are the same lake, and the photos were taken from near the same vantage point. So I did a web search for "Peyto Lake" and found this link: http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=peyto+lake&id=05D808D741F943E1DDC1AEF1601F3537B22920F4&FORM=IARRTH.

I do have a couple of panoramas of Maligne Lake, though--this is one of them:
