The Sony RX10 IV or RX10 III are considered by many to be the best available bridge camera right now. Both have a larger sensor than the FX300. Quite expensive, but can be obtained used or "open box." The image quality will be better with the Sony, but you'd have to decide for yourself if it is worth the price difference.

Any experience with purchasing used equipment from MPB Camera? Is this a reliable source?
Another great used equipment vendor is Used Photo Pro. The parent company is Roberts, also great for new gear.

A few of us still live for Jimmy Cobb's break and symbol crash leading into the first solo on "So What."

For a first mirrorless, it's hard to beat the Canon M50 II with two zoom kit lenses. Very easy to get up and running right away and the menu system seems simpler and cleaner than many of the alternatives. If you're lucky enough to find one on the Canon refurb site, all the better.

This is great! I've visited Chicago many times from my home in the Twin Cities and love both this inside look at this beautiful cemetery, as well as your other recent look at the Chicago lakefront in winter. Thanks for posting!

Have you noticed that there are a lot of young, bald men? When I was a kid, it seemed like only old men went bald. Of course, being a kid, anyone over 18 could have been considered old. Seriously, though, I don't remember seeing so many young men with shiny heads. Is it something in the water.

Glossophobia is the fear of speaking, and it generally ranks #1 in fears, even surpassing the fear of death.
"“Year after year in the UK, glossophobia claims the top spot as Britain’s no. 1 phobia, repeatedly knocking ‘fear of death’ down into second position. ... At a funeral, the average Briton would rather be in the casket than deliver the eulogy.”

And here I thought glossophobia was the fear of printing photos!

I agree about having the host send invites with each participant being required to click on a link to enter the meeting. That alone should take care of the problem.

Have you ordered any photo equipment recently? Looks soft enough to be some kind of computer screen, lens, camera cloth that might have been sent separately from a photo equipment or computer order. Guitar or ukulele orders might also have some kind of extra cloth.

I have a Nikon 5200 camera. I need some reasons why I should buy or not a new camera or just get lenses for the 5200.
I currently take pictures infrequently, but am interested in doing it more often. Should I keep my camera and shoot more often or buy a new one to make sure I do. I am interested in getting a good telephoto lens for the 5200, but wonder if that is wise. Please offer suggestions and reasons. I would appreciate your thoughts. Thank you.

The suggestion of joining a camera club is very good. Another idea would be to take a photo class, perhaps one of the photo classes online. Having specific "assignments" and executing them, in other words getting out and shooting a lot with the gear you already have, would be the best thing you could do to regenerate interest.
