Still owning a Nikon FTN and related len(s), this discussion interested me. I read years ago that the reason F was chosen in that it engraved nicely.

Well, I have all three Nikon 7000 series cameras mentioned in this series of recommendations. Having travelled throughout the world on cruises or otherwise, I took one camera along on the trips--a Nikon Coolpix P500. Whether the whale was distant or close, the camera was easily adjusted to the scene, without an assortment of lenses to choose from. Now, the P500 has been recently replaced with a Nikon Coolpix P900. Now think of making the passage through TSA check. I had 3 Nikon cameras I took on a trip and each one had a different battery and charger. Nikon makes sure to change the battery and related charger for every camera they produce. TSA examined each charger, some with electrical cords, very analytically with a great amount of time expended. Only one type battery and charger needed for the P900 and no auxilliary len(s), to possibly be stolen by thieves. So, I recommend the addition of the Nikon Coolpix P900 as an additional camera which has a variety of Scene Modes that do not require a computation and a telephoto capacity of 2000mm.

U were clear. I have a 7200 in addition to the 900. Sorry to interrupt your thread.

Thanks. The manual I was really looking for was the one on the Nikon Coolpix 900 by David Busch.

When I acquired a Nikon Coolpix 900, I found that this camera does not have the usual number of User Manuals by some of the well known manual producers. Perhaps, they are still in development.

An excellent photo from a wonderful vantage point that conveys what is transpiring without words and what makes the photo stand out in the A++ category is the comparative size of the feeding parent eagle and the eagle baby offspring.

Have used Bay Photo and Costco for Metal Prints with excellent results.

Thank You.

Thank You.

First bloom this year in Indio, CA. Flowers think it is summer already and not far from the truth.

Nikon Coolpix P900 on Ebay for $474. Seller is in Canada.

Thanks to the tripod recommendation by bsprague, I ordered the Costco Dolica tripod today. On sale-$20 off today with a net price $79.99. It has quite a bit of versatility which will accommodate my Nikon D7000, D7100 and D7200 cameras. Should also handle a Sigma 50mm to 500mm lens, which is quite heavy.

Leaving now on trip. Talk to you later.
