I remember my first Cell phone was a Motorola 120t Cell. Got it freshman year at GMC, just before the season began. Good times.

My mom's first one was a Motorola something. That thing lasted her YEARS. Mine was an LG flip phone. I basically went from one LG to the next having all the ones with keyboards and whatnot. Eventually got a Galaxy and stuck it out for the most part with Samsung.

Well I mean 😅 the photo is still nice, so the camera is definitely a good one. Best I've had tbh.

Oh absolutely, it's a great photo! You've done well (and probably should have mentioned that last post, apologies)

A lot of people just have a misconception that the more Mega Pixies they have floating around their camera, the better it's going to be. You can take a photo with 100MP - and it's certainly very high res - but if the image sensor sucks, you're going to be outclassed by an art student with a 20 year old 6MP DSLR.

Like that really is the thing. There's so much work that goes into DSLR bodies and lenses, and the variety of techniques, that if you learn what you're doing, it's going to make a phone photo look like relative crap 100% of the time. Even with an old camera vs new phone, as long as you know what the capabilities are and what you're aiming for.

I'm not sure if I mentioned it here 😅 but I love photography. It's a field I wish I could get into honestly. I want to get an actual camera once I can save up some extra to get one. But yeah before this I had an iPhone SE 2020, I didn't care for the camera on it, and the battery was shot all to hell. Didn't wanna hold a charge. Got this because was affordable and the videos I saw of it looked great. My dad has the same one so I also had his to look at.

One day I might go for higher end Samsung.

I might have to eventually look into that.

This is the model I upgraded from, which is pretty decent. The lens also looks fairly nice too.

There are also some reasonable listings from Japan you could import.

As a tip, if you look at second hand mirrored Canons:
- single digit models are professional
- two digits (eg 60D, 80D) are prosumer
- three digits (600D, 750D) are consumer hobbyist
- four digits (1000D) - soccer mom

You'd probably have an okay time finding decent priced mirrored DSLRs these days as Canon are phasing them out for mirrorless. Even though the lenses are different, the cool thing is you can just get an adapter and use them on a mirrorless.

It's easier to just pick a camera brand and stick with it than try a few. I very much like Canon, and they're a popular choice. Similarly popular is Nikon. Artsy people like Fujifilm.

Now that I've rewatched OG Dragon ball again, I realized, I really wish Chi-Chi kept training and became an actual plot relevant fighter again.

I have a pretty old Nikon, use to be my Grandma's camera. I wish it was better because using her old one would mean a lot. But it's really old and I don't really know the specs. It's from like late 2000s early 2010s. So I might stick with that brand. But I'll do some good research for sure when I got the extra funds
