I know my use of the old bridge camera powershot is unconventional in 2025 in the world of accessible mirrorless cameras and high quality phone cameras, but the colouring and tone I get with this camera makes it very hard to want to upgrade! for all its bad quirks I really do love it

I was impressed too! The shutter speed is really fast too which makes shooting animals in particular quite a joy :)

if you went “huh cool :)” to it being 10/10 today that was actually you going “huh cool :)” because it’s my birthday today but you didn’t know until just now ☝️ I am now the grand old age of 31 and as is tradition, I am off to the zoo :3

I have an announcement to make: I now own a pigeon 🐦 this is Pidgy (original name eh?) who has been rescued from a dirty cramped cage in the house of a hoarder who passed away - I was asked if I could take them on at least to help them heal, and since arriving last night he’s already doing better :)
