Welp, my tripod fell over - was pulled over by a wire near the base, and now my 18-55mm Nikkor lens is ruined. Only other F-mount lens I've got on hand is a 80-200mm and a telephoto lens isn't ideal for... just about everything I do.
Looks like it's time to pull out the 2009 Canon SD960 point-and-shoot for a few weeks!
I quite like this camera, looks solid for its age, decent amount of actual hardware controls and solid optical zoom, can't complain. Actually bought it years after the Nikon D5100 as a secondary camera for travel.
SpoilerBecause of its smaller lens, it can also focus at much smaller distances than the Nikon D5100, opening the door to silly photos like this.
SpoilerCan still get some solid closeup shots out of this old cam.
Welp... any good Nikon F-mount lens recommendations? Any adjustable zoom autofocus lens is pretty expensive unfortunately, but the 18-55s are not outlandish, luckily...

$350 USED yeah no on that one
Cheaper is same lens or primes...
The 18-35 is usually a step up due to 1.8 apature.
Maybe a Sigma DC 17-70mm f/2.8-4 OS AF HSM. Those I know for canon are under 300 nikion iirc is cheaper. Get the newer one the older one kinda stinks.
There is not really a lot of choices.
