Favorite: Nikkor 18-300. New 18-140 Nikon looks like it’s going be one of my favorites, too.
I agree. Both are excellent for travel and general use. My 18-300 was fantastic for whale-watching in Alaska.

Another vote for Eneloop. I’ve used them for years for everything requiring batteries and have had to toss one.

I had a Kaypro II, no hard disk but two eight inch floppy drives. My first hard disk was a five megabyte monster. What was I ever going to put on that behemoth?

That was our first, too. 1981-ish.

Yup, there's a Kindle Reader for Mac. Probably for iOS devices too. (I have none of the latter)
Apple phones/tablets can download the Kindle app free. It syncs between devices. I use it frequently on my phone when I’m waiting for something to happen, but prefer the actual Kindle when possible.

Have you watched Reacher on Amazon Prime? Big guy, good show. Never mind. Someone already made the same comment.

Panasonic Lumix FZ300. Single lens, full-range 2.8, 20-600. Worked well for gym shots taken for the school’s yearbook. I paid $399 new. Great travel camera, too.

salt Lake’s Antelope Island is accessible from I-15 about 20 minutes north of SLC. Lots of free-roaming wild critters including buffalo. Lots of photo opportunities. Dress warm.

Hello, br I know we are in the midst of another Co... (show quote)
I’ve taken that cruise round trip from Seattle twice on Princess and hope to do it again in May. Dates-wise, earlier is better. It will be colder, but more waterfalls and fewer families with young kids since they’re still in school. Your ports will be Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway and Victoria. There are a few shore tours specifically oriented to photography in each port. Definitely plan on whale watching in Juneau. Definitely worth springing for a balcony cabin - we spent many hours each day taking pictures from our balcony, especially in the inside passage. Camera-wise, take one that will tolerate dampness and possible sea spray. Last cruise I used a Nikon D3200 with an 18-300 lens the entire time and was very happy with my shots. This time I’m taking a much lighter Lumix bridge camera that’s weather-sealed. Plan on lots of layered clothing, hat, gloves and hiking boots. We love Princess - excellent service, great food, lots of shore tours. We arranged tours and airline through them as well, which offers some additional protections for travel, cancellations, etc. I would be happy to chat with you about our experience - pm me.

Great camera and easy for beginners. Add an 18-140 lens and you’re covered.

A rubber band is a quick fix for lens creep. I use an 18-200 almost exclusively on a 7100 and am very happy with it.

I have a Dell Latitude 12” laptop with 16g Ram and 256g ssd. Can also be used in tablet mode with a stylus. I store photos on a portable SSD. Works great!

Wow ! You not only crochet cases for your lenses, you *name* them too. Is that real love, or just anthropomorphism ?

I custom-crochet mine out of very thick lint-free cotton “yarn” with a polyester core. Won’t keep them dry, but protects them extremely well if I want to carry a spare lens or two in my backpack, and let’s them “breathe” if they were around any moisture. I attach a small tag with the name of the lens.
