I have a Nikon Coolpix P950. I like it and it is a lot lighter to carry than my Nikon D300 with lenses from 24mm to 600mm. This was...

Check out a “bridge” camera. Some very long telephoto lenses in a compact easy to use form...

Yup. Early on, a guy climbed into a Wee Lassee I built. Heard the crack also. I double layer the bottoms of all my strippers. To me ...

So I was finishing up the last of the inside sanding yesterday. I was moving the boat around and heard a loud crack as some glue let go...
