Point and shoot like this is still around, I own a modern Sony one. It fits in my pocket for travel and replaces my huge Canon DSLR and Sigma lens that I have in storage while I’m moving to another state.
The little camera is very practical and can zoom 100x more than my phone and has image stability that blows my mind at its 4k video at full zoom handheld shots.
Sometimes snatch these for $10 at the thrift.
- Usually take modern memory cards, at worst with an adapter
- Actual focus mechanism vs. fake digital zoom
- Small loss if you drop it in the swamp, get it soaked, otherwise ruin it
- Almost all employ high quality gears and lenses and such
- Generally take a pair of AAs. (Maybe stay off the units with proprietary batteries.)
- Resolution is plenty fine for most use cases. Your pic is getting down-scaled when you share it. We’re dressing up and taking 1-year anniversary wedding pics because all we have is shit that was downgraded by being passed around.
tl;dr: I’d buy the one pictured in a second.
