Stepping away from comparing specs, is there a camera that you just like?

It could be ease of use, results, handling, fun to use or any of those and more. It may even be a camera that you return to even when, by some measures, it is obsolete.

My 2012 Pentax X-5 "Superzoom" 16 MP bridge camera is one. I was surprised they were still going for around $120 when most others from that time were $30.

Fast handling, easy control, but not much manual exposure options and a decent lens. It does have some visual highlight/shadow warnings that are handy in the less-than-perfect EVF. More than once I've returned to it, or rediscovered shots taken with it that I liked.

Thoughts?

The Mokelumne river in Calaveras county is one of the best places to enjoy nature and decompress. This is just a 10 minute drive from my house.

Nikon Z5 and Nikon Z 20mm f1.8 s lens. For wide angle, this is one of my favorite lenses for my Z5. Very sharp.


If you ever get the chance, shoot the scenic Harpeth River in Central Tennessee.

Let me ask why you have the rank of number 5 as a thread starter...
I'm curious why you are so active on UHH... And what's with the age thing?
At 78 you and I are exactly the same age...
Maybe get a grip on your health/wellness routines...
fyi I do Yoga EVERY DAY and have done same for decades.
I also do progressive resistance training religiously...

Oh btw, I don't eat junk food... a.k.a. Corn Flakes...
I'm a hardcore lacto vegetarian... for breakfast I do Yogurt and sprouts...
Come to think of it maybe you should rethink your diet also...

Sorry but your query was way too vague and open ended.
You've been on UHH long enough to know which way the wind blows...
And please don't try to hide behind the "Age" thing I'm not buying it...
Take better care of your health, at the end of the day it's a precious commodity.

If your micro subjects are too much a challenge then maybe it's time to rethink your genre(s)
I had to this with the pandemic...
Food for thought: When one door closes look carefully another may well open for you...

Wish you all the best in health and happiness...
Especially with your 90mm micro..
Cheers!

Get a grip, Thomas! Or find a good shrink. No need for your obvious hatred.

Multiple backups for me. Keepers on monster thumb drive. All photos on external hard drive. Third backup of all work on iDrive cloud. All photos are stored as raw files. Better be safe than sorry.

Do they still work?

I used an Instamatic 100 in high school and college, but the shutter mechanism died a few weeks before graduation - so I spent graduation money on an inexpensive 35mm rangefinder camera.


I found a small, almost brand new canon sx625 at an estate sale last Friday. Paid three bucks!!! Charger and battery included. Wanted a Leica, but beggars can't be choosers.

There are a lot of things that are not indispensible, (double negative, i.e. you could do without them). Photoshop is among them. Indispensible items are things like food, water, shelter.
I did without Photoshop until about 2000.
If necessary, I could do without it again. But it would not be a pleasant existence.
While I do not use Photoshop to excess (a subjective claim if there ever was one), probably 10% of my images go through it one way or another.

So, technically, Photoshop is dispensible. But as long as I am able to use it, I will. So, practically speaking, it's indispensible.

Of course you are correct.

The discussion was narrowly limited to "Photo processing software". In the context of the topic, to claim that all people could do without a specific product is as ridiculous as claiming that a computer like device is not indispensable for post processing.

And on topic, I prefer Photoshop, I could live and breath without it, and I could even do most of what I would like with something like Affinity Photo. As of today, and I am in the process of evaluating the latest version of the Serif software, I am not keen on learning its different ways of doing what I already know how to do in Adobe, nor have I yet found it possible to do everything I do in Photoshop.

I never bought into the Adobe subscription crap, and glad of it. Affinity works just fine along with LR software installed on my computer.

OMG! My Nikon arsenal will be worthless! When Nikon folds (Tony said so) all that expensive gear will no longer function! Bodies will die! Lenses will close up and turn black! My Nikon hat and shirts will completely unravel and imprints will crumble! Oh! What will I do? What WILL I do? Oh, woe is me! I'm ruined! No one will love me! My wife will leave me and my dog will go with her! Oh, woe is me. (sic)

I do. No weddings. No contracts. No working with the public. If people buy my stuff, fine. If not, fine. I don't need the money. I planned my retirement well in advance.
