Dan, if you want a nice, short scenic trip, cross over into Sault Ste. Marie Canada and buy a ticket on the Algoma Central/CN train. It will take you about 115 miles north to Agawa Canyon. Once you get about 50 miles north of Sault Ste. Marie, you stop seeing road and the people use that train like we'd use a city bus. There are no roads to Agawa Canyon and the only way in or out would be that train. Absolutely beautiful up there! I have always wanted to take that train all the way up to Hearst, but I have not found the time....yet. Another plus is, once you leave Sault Ste. Marie, you have no cell phone coverage. Once you are in the canyon, they run the engines around the train for the return trip and they give you about an hour to hike, which is no where close to enough time. That is me standing with the train crew as they were taking a break before heading back.

Yes I think I would love it.

Without a wide angle lens, it's hard to take a plane on the ground with a "pocket" camera.

I was gifted a Nikon D3200 for Christmas; I've played with it a little, but the true test will happen come spring when flowers start to bloom & the bees are back in action.

24MP pictures
HD Video capable
Wi-fi capable

Has both auto & manual modes

I don't know the exact price, but I know what I received for Christmas was less than a grand. The camera itself is $500-600, then there's a 'bundle' with a decent lens, memory card, but I think the camera case was extra.

I have a Nikon D50 with an 18-200mm lense that I have been very happy with for 8 years. Also have the SB600 flash, gary fong lightsphere collapsable, and rechargeable AA lithium batteries.

Pretty much my set up as well. I need to get a new flash though and I also have the 50mm 1.8 and 85mm 1.8 lenses. Picked those up for around $50.00 each when I first bought the camera. The 18-200 I purchased when they first came out with them and we in short supply. A small camera shop in the are had 2 of them... My daughter has the D3500 and my mother has gone through numerous Nikon DSLR's. When they come out with a new one she gets it. I never manage to adopt the old model....

Thanks, I have narrowed it down to Nikon are Cannon.
Was avid about phtography years ago, even had my own darkroom.
Times change...I have a vacation to the amazon this year and to switzerland. THought it be good to get back into some picture taking.
I decided.
EOS 70D EF-S 18-135mm, with a few other lenses,xbattery, etc..
Thanks...

James, did you keep any of your lenses from when you were shooting film? You might be surprised how compatible some of the old Nikon and Canon lenses are. I have some Nikkor glass from the 80s that that I can interchange on my dSLR. The compatibility charts can make you feel like you are wading through alphabet soup, but if you are willing to spring for a nice FX body it will almost always drive AF and metering (Again, speaking as a Nikon user, don't have any experience with Canon).
