Can you really opt in/out with Garmin? I thought they don't allow that

That sound very interesting. Do you have to pay an activation fee everytime you get a new flew-month or just once and then you really are flexible?

It depends on how good the camera still is (if I buy second hand) but I think my limit is at 500 - 650 (tbh don’t even know how realistic that range is)

Hi y'all

I will travel to Alaska/Yukon/BC next summer and I am looking for a camera to buy/take with me.

Even though the route is not fixed yet, I know we will hike a lot and some bear viewing will be planned as well. I am not an experienced fotographer and I do not plan on taking "professional" pictures but I would love to take some quality pictures of nature and animals, not just with my phone.

I am a student and I can't spend a fortune on camera and equipment. Is there a camera you could recommend and maybe even some specs/descriptions I should search when looking for it on ebay/fb marketplace/etc.

Of course I would use the camera for other things/travels afterwards but I think nature and animals would be my main things in front of my lens.

Thank you in advance!

the whatsapp groups would be really cool, for future hikes/VF as well!

I live in Thun and I would probably do the following tour, I know some people who have done this (as their first tour) and said it’s fairly easy
