I used to use a 35mm back in the day, but I have only used pocket digital cameras for the last 10 years. The specs are over my head! But I don't imagine I'll need that kind of zoom. I'm looking forward to learning. Maybe watching you I'll pick something up, huh?Sash Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11030587181417666338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-575417631109784818.post-48740175632970303742017-07-25T14:05:19.532-04:002017-07-25T14:05:19.532-04:00Ha ha, no, I will leave my garage fully packed and...Ha ha, no, I will leave my garage fully packed and ready for the long haul ;-)<br />Yea, the Canon SX60 has an amazing zoom, only the Nikon Coolpix P900 has more zoom at 83x optical zoom (24-2000mm equivalent) but the wide part starts at 24mm while thwe Canon starts at 21mm which makes a big difference when you are at close quarters and want as wide as possible.GFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08254196892811043203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-575417631109784818.post-74816309111502414912017-07-25T13:40:02.272-04:002017-07-25T13:40:02.272-04:00What to pack sound like it will be a difficult dec...What to pack sound like it will be a difficult decision. Do you also have to decide what will fit in a carry on or checked luggage to get to your initial destination?<br /><br />The zoom on that RV picture is incredible.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-575417631109784818.post-15271274280673201082017-07-24T21:06:38.853-04:002017-07-24T21:06:38.853-04:00There are some really good point and shoot cameras...There are some really good point and shoot cameras but there's always compromises. Like you say, a long zoom would be nice but that stops them from being waterproof. Another compromise is the very weak flash in small cameras. Having a zoom almost all the times makes them not have a wide-angle as well.GFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08254196892811043203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-575417631109784818.post-34686100946524379022017-07-24T18:13:35.491-04:002017-07-24T18:13:35.491-04:00Weight and space, two of the things that make tour...Weight and space, two of the things that make touring by motorcycle a challenge. Lucky for me, I am not a photographer and have found my Lumix point and shoot suitable for my needs (though I have to admit I would love a longer optical zoom sometimes ... but those are shots I just have to leave behind.) I am looking forward to hear what you decide.VStar Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634216576989421497noreply@blogger.com
