This little Canon camera is still going for outrageous prices years after being released. A friend of mine let me use his camera about three years ago and it blew me away. I want to purchase one but not at the prices they are asking for them used.

I have used Adorama for many years. About a year ago I bought a guitelele from them. (small travel guitar). It was supposed to have a case that came with it as advertised in Adorama's ad. I never received the case. They claimed the ad was a mistake. They offered me a small amount off my purchase for the missing case. Not an amount I could have even bought a cardboard case with. They were not nice about it either. Two months after I talked with them the false ad was still up on their site. I have purchased photo equipment from them and never had a problem but I won't use them any longer. Not while B&H is still around.

I didn't play for 30 years and just recently got some guitars again. These handle everything I would want to do. I mostly just play the Taylor, which is a lot of fun. Left to right: TaylorGS Mini Mahogany; Seagull S6 Original Slim; and Epiphone Dot Studio. Anyone else on uhh like old acoustic guitar playing?
I play a Baby Martin, Gibson Hummingbird and a Great Divide Travel Guitar. I also own and play a Guitalele.

I just got this camera from my husband. I would appreciate it if anyone knows of a digital camera vocabulary/dictionary book.
I have a Nikon D3300. I don't mind starting at the beginning, if I could find it. I realize that this supposed to be fun, and a hobby (for me)
but I would like some decent photos on the walls. I did like the ladys advice to start on auto and work from there.

You can find a really good entry level DSLR and a couple of lenses for a bit over that $100...I have (and still use!)_ a Nikon D40.....excellent camera and with the kit lenses (18-55 and 55-200) she will have more than a crappy point and shoot....Nikon D40!!!
I would suggest a Nikon D50 from KEH with a kit lens. It would not be much more than a hundred dollars and I still shoot with my D50. The body has a built in focus motor and a top LCD read out. I still shoot with mine and love the camera.

I was at a camera repair with my D810 the other day and the repair person was exclaiming about how my camera was made to last a year or two. I’ve had this unit for almost 2 years and have had nary a problem. His point was that manufacturers plan it that way to stimulate sales. I’ve used Nikon for the past 40 years and have never entertained that planned obsolescence was Nikon ‘s criterion for it’s products.
I was wondering whether any of you had heard “such “


I still shoot with my Nikon D50. I think that assertion is farcical.

From personal experience mirrrorless are very good for general purpose photography and not so good where fast, accurate autofocus for fast moving subjects is required.


I shoot with a Nikon 1 V1 camera. Auto-focus is blazing fast. 90 % of my Photography is with the Mirrorless camera. The image quality is amazing considering it has a smaller sensor.

Yesterday I went to a holiday celebration at a nearby town. It was celebrating the holidays and the 150th anniversary of the town. Since our ukulele group was going to perform, I brought my little Sony A6000. I was there for over an hour, looking at the sights and having a good time. Then I saw a nearby parking lot that was almost empty, so I went back to my car and moved it closer.

A while later, our group was up performing, and I realized I didn't have my A6000! I had stopped at so many food stands and attractions that I had no idea where I could have left it. It's usually on a strap over my shoulder or around my neck. I realized that I had no form of identification on it, just in case an honest soul wanted to return it. I was glad I hadn't brought my D750. I was equally glad that I didn't own a $10,000 Leica.

At the end of the day, I went back to my car, and there was the camera, resting peacefully on the back seat. So, some advice. Despite the distractions of a busy day, be aware of where your valuables are, preferably attached securely to your body. Have identification of some kind with the gear, just in case it's found by an honest person.

Glad you found your camera Jerry. I have been playing Guitalele for a number of years. Love that little instrument. I am a guitar player so it was a perfect fit for me. Do you have a Guitalele in your group?

I have eight but five of those are film bodies. The three digital cameras are all used regularly with the Nikon 1 V1 getting the most use by far.

I know, that my question is not formulated correctly, because "different strokes for different folks".
I'm new to "real" editing and currently use Capture NX-D by Nikon, which was free of charge and I downloaded it from the Nikon site.
Before I get too familiar with NX-D, I'd like to here your take on editing software. I do look for something that is user friendly, even if it only available for a one time charge or a monthly user fee.
Thanks, Peter


I use Zoner for most of my editing. I have the most recent standalone version of Zoner. Now they have gone to subscription so I will probably go to a different editing program in the future.

I have been without a camera for about two years. The one I had was an "elementary digital" but it awakened me to a desire to learn and do much more photography. I have reluctantly settled for taking photos with my cell phone. Looking at endless reviews, researching DSLR versus Mirrorless, Nikon vs. Canon, all the bells & whistles, etc., I am OVERWHELMED with information. I want to photograph people in their normal life activities, hoping to capture candid shots, not greatly interested in video, and my other desire is on detailed close-ups. I want to be able to have at least one lense to do close ups of still objects or people's expressions while laughing, reading, crying, etc. I've seen far too many "packages" & am slowly coming to the conclusion-- I need to keep this as simple as possible. Perhaps one camera, one lense? I have yet to take even the most basic photography course. The photos of mine that are posted here (please look to get an understanding of my desired type of photo) were my earliest attempts. I am probably most interested in thoughts, as if you were starting fresh, between DSLR vs. Mirrorless, if you were to buy one additional lense for close ups. I need this to be simple as I am an "illiterate" in photography terms! Most of my friends photograph with DSLRs and have secured many lenses. They are unwilling to switch, understandably, and have no experience with mirrorless. I am also not wealthy, by any means, so under $1000 is a must! You'll note from my signature stamp...I'm still driving a 30 yr. old car, by choice. Thus, not expecting a flamboyant camera kit! I am at the very beginning now, and can start over. Help a "photography child" please.

Toni: I would entertain buying used if I were you. I am 75 years old and my DSLR's and lenses were getting a little too heavy for me while taking pictures. A year ago I did an intense study on Mirrorless Cameras and decided to buy a Nikon 1 V1 system from KEH. The camera and lens cost me less than $300.00 and the Camera has been flawless. I have the 10-100 video lens with the camera. It has a wonderful electronic zoom feature that makes videos and still easy to accomplish. This is just one suggestion but it worked for me. Good luck in your future Photography.

I owned one and used it until I gave it to my son along with the Nikon 1 S1 camera we both use it with. I did not use a strap with mine and I don't think my son does either. The S1 does not have a viewfinder so I considered it essential to use a lupe with that camera. Especially on sunny days.
