try actually experiencing something instead of mediating it through a loving screen. far more skilled photographers than you have taken pictures of whatever common-rear end garbage you're spending $2000 to capture

the best thing about the camera in my phone is that I can use its tiny lens as an excuse for any defects in my photos *waits patiently to be owned with a selfie joke*

most people basically use their camera for social media, nobody's carrying an extra thing for that unless they're an iNfLueNceR.

I don't think buying someone's battered P&S second hand off ebay is a very good comparison either. It's $600 on B&H.
