You're telling me that Google automatically inserting Gemini AI results into a simple search produced incorrect results? That's impossible. All the AI bros say so.

If you have a bigger budget, go for full frame mirrorless options from Sony (A75) or Canon (R6).
With these you can buy lifetime lenses one time while you upgrade the bodies as they advance.
I recommend Canon or Sony only because they are accessible, not because others aren’t as good or better.

I recommend the Canon T7i as a great budget entry into an interchangeable lens camera that is great for wildlife and astrophotography if you get the right lenses. It’s a really fantastic system.

For the NY Times it was important to show a visual that was a sea of red acres to create a false impression.
It's not the data that are important, It's the honest presentation of them. Your UC talks makes this clear!
