I believe you're commenting on his signature.  He didn't make any comment - "nt" in title.

The NRA sells guns?  Huh.

Looks like fun.  And some stress.  And success!  Good job.

Best handling (ergonomics) by a country mile - Canon G7XM2.  Between the Canons, the Sony RX100s and the Lumix LX10, the challenge will be getting an acceptable lens.  Good luck.

Required for buying a camera. Sadly, there's no IQ test required for getting a driver's license either. But that's another story. Yesterday someone asked here which lens he should take for a trip ...

Don't continue doing something that doesn't bring you enjoyment.  What you wrote here is telling.  The cold temperatures are getting to you so you're wondering if it's time to give up ...

Hmmm.  Where's this goin'?

It's an eye-catching image, striking actually.  There's just one thing I would change - the rain gauge (I think that's what it is) is really a distraction for me.  I would have moved down one ...

I just had to return a new camera to Adorama.  Smooth and painless and speedy.  They're great people.

You might want to look into the Panasonic models.

What do you intend to use it for?  Does it need to fit in a pocket?  How will you use the images from it?

It's usually best (to keep people from having to scroll through the thread) if you post a reply to your original post and change the title to "SOLD"
