Y'know, owning a physical camera means you're not subjected to your phone all the time. I don't like phones for anything that has functions outside of the basics due to being so inconvenient to use, plus it doesn't feel the same without a pocket camera. For many years, I have used cameras from Fujifilm, Sony, and now Canon of all things—I grew up with a DSLR throughout my teens without a phone to record YouTube videos. So call me a luddite all you want, but I don't want to be subjected to how technology in the current decade has become locked to subscriptions in terms of features, forcing you to pay extra for the product you bought; a lack of innovation; the fueling of AI to compromise a person's privacy; and a lack of ease of use (especially touchscreens which the elderly struggle with).
I would like to present this Canon PowerShot SX220 HS camera from 2011. I'm actually quite liking this since it's the only cheap camera I can find that does 1080p video (as opposed to my F300EXR, which does 640x480 in AVI format), plus it's got a 12.1 megapixel CMOS sensor and better build quality all around where it's not going to get scuffed up—it's a nice pocket camera to have; I wish all of them were still like this.
