I use the Pro-100 and love it I do have an all in one for documents, but the Pro-100 is used exclusively for photo prints with great results.
Yes and find it very useful
Almost anything nature related. Orlando Wetlands, Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive and Merritt Island NWR are a few of my favorites.

I have been a photographer for more decades than I care to admit, in retirement it has become a valuable outlet for me. I am far from an expert, but I am constantly learning and loving the art more everyday. I find myself seeing the small things I often overlooked.
I do a fair amount of wildlife photography and find a good monopod is a helpful tool.
