Looking for recommendations on a easy, quality, and moderately priced camera. Uses would be for scenery, and all around use. Currently using a I-phone. Thanks in advance for your comments.

Sorry to hear about your recent heath episode and hope you're back to your old self or better! As with all camera's there's a learning curve. Once you figure out what your IPhone can and can't do and just shoot within it's capabilities I think you'll be quite pleased with the results. I'm more than happy to ditch the 3 1/2 lbs plus camera bag and related accessories.Vic Harder said:Weight while hiking is a big factor for me. I love my Olympus Omd-EM1, and usually have the big 12-42 (24-84) pro zoom attached to it. Even though it’s a 4/3 camera, That’s still a heavy lump.
Last month we were in Utah and I had the joy of rupturing my appendix. After emergency surgery, I started hiking again and only carried my iPhone8. Not great as far as cameras go, but it made me wonder, if i am carrying it already, do I really need/want another camera on my back?
Welcome to WTW. You’ve got some nice images out there. Ever shoot at Ridgefield?AWG_Pics said:I have been using PhotoShop since the mid-1990's, LightRoom for a decade and some other more sophisticated software the last couple of years. I always shoot RAW, have a couple of dozen or so lenses and a dozen camera bodies. In spite of that I suggest you stick with the I-phone or a rugged compact camera that has some pretty good auto modes for shooting people, scenery, beach, snow, indoor, sports and even underwater.
Almost no one has the time, money and and sheer foolishness to do as I and a small percentage of other photographers have done. We have given up thousands, or tens of thousands of hours doing this photography thing -- most people have better things to do with their time.
But if you really want to dive into the dslr and RAW shooting world, PM me. I will be happy to talk about it.

Amazing pics! Thanks for sharing! Wildlife pics are a real treat!Wandering Sagebrush said:Up until about 3 years ago, I was a regular at Ridgefield, and one of the Admins for the Ridgefield Group. I lost my mind and started upland hunting again with bird dogs, and have drastically slowed down my photography. Having the refuge closed during the week doesn’t help either. Here’s a link to my Flickr stream:

Go back a couple of pages, or look at my most popular images in the “About” area to get into the area that reflects my more active photography. We also have a photography forum here on WTW. Let’s have a cup of coffee one of these days and swap lies.

At Ridgefield (and apologies to the original poster for the hijack)
