Hello Rick: Please excuse my late reply. The last few weeks have been a profound learning experience with much stress involved. In any case, I suppose this could be beneficial should I ever require an edge in evasion tactics while predator hunting. Lovely, but crazy lady! First, I'd like to emphasize that although I've traveled to a few destinations, I'm just a simple man with champagne taste and a beer wallet. Lately, I've barely met that criteria! Most of my photos have been taken as a tourist with several different Nikon DSL-R cameras, one Canon, and 4 or 5 digital cameras. There were also a few 35 mm's which include primarily a Pentax ZX-7. I'm an amateur photographer with very limited technical knowledge in terms of equipment, and a preference for both quality and progress. In other words, I usually do not use tripods or other external stabilizers in the interest of time while traveling. I seem to have the ability to 'shoot straight' and produce clear, quality images without the aid of extra equipment, unless shutter speed is exceptionally slow. Should I require external support, I simply rest camera or hands against something. Last Thursday, I submitted my most recent consolidated photo index to the Washington D.C. Library of Congress, Copyright Office for update. Currently, I do not have any photos posted for viewing, however, some will soon be stored to the Sky-Drive. I should mention that I was very pleased when I discovered the photo producing potential of some tablets, Samsung and iPad versions specifically. In terms of size, convenience and efficiency, quality tablets and Smart Phones can be suitable substitutes when a camera is not available or too conspicuous in certain environments. Of course, we all know general awareness of cameras can cause locals to feel uneasy or agitate authorities, such as law enforcement. I previously owned a Galaxy which was purchased as a set in the Bangkok mall October 2011. Now I'm sure it would have been a better decision to retain it. The cheap one purchased in the U.S. 4 years later, simply could not match the image quality, not even close; again this was 4 years later! So this supports the reason I was very pleased when I discovered the photo producing potential of Samsung and iPad tablets specifically. This certainly has to do with the light gathering characteristics and other elements of lens technology, such as is found in a quality hunting optic. Although, I have never owned an iPad to date, that may change. Now if I were a professional photographer, or more passionate photo hobbyist than I currently am, perhaps I would never even elude to the idea that Smartphones and tablets can indeed serve as substitutes for cameras in many instances! Perhaps you may recall the desperate rationalizing and denial of several big medium format and 35 mm professional camera manufacturing firms like Konica Minolta, always suggesting digital technology could never match professional developed film quality.Yet they eventually had to embrace the change in technology and re-engineer their manufacturing plants. Now I need to set up my reloading bench. Have a wonderful day sir!
