This reminded me i had an old camera i used for journalism back in elementary school about 9 years ago. And I saw some golden moments from back then, thanks for the reminder!
About getting the pictures from the camera into the phone without Wi-Fi - I use a small SD card reader that can connect to the phone. Don’t have to go through the computer to get there. (I do also save the pictures to the computer, but this way I can put them in the phone and edit and/or share while still out and about.)
I have news for you, buddy... NOTHING really happened to your camera because of that drop. That dust build-up in the lens was always there to begin with. I had that happen to me with the Lumix DMC-ZS3 (which has pretty much the exact same super-zoom lens) within the first month of ownership, fresh out of the box. Had it serviced under warranty, and the lens was cleaned to my full satisfaction. The dust was back within weeks. Apparently, the seals on the collapsible elements of this lens are for shit out of factory. Every time you zoom in and out, especially if you rapidly travel the entire zoom range this way or that, the lens effectively acts like a vacuum cleaner, pulling dust in and onto the inner lens surface. I've given up on resolving this. I no longer use my ZS3 for video (cleaning up the dust would be hell, and no point anyway, given newer cameras deliver much higher quality footage), and just clean up whatever dust bunnies remain visible in stills (depends a lot on the F-stop used) in post. No need to go shopping for additional digicams. Yours is as good as it was the day you got it.
That's an interesting bit of information, makes me feel better about dropping it! The dust on mine shows unless I stop it all the way down unfortunately, but sounds inevitable based on your experience.
@@samandmox a very unfortunate design flaw, yes. The lower the aperture, the more that dust is gonna show. Easy enough to clean up in post, even if having to do so at all is irritating.

That 08:10 dad-baby photo is lit 🔥 Literally a family album gem!
Overall, i like you video, man! Keep up!
Appreciate the kind words. Helps when you have stylish dad 🤠
I love using my 14 year old panasonic too. Just wonder: do you use it in Intelligent Auto mode (as I do)?
I mostly shoot aperture priority but did take a couple of those in intelligent auto and really liked that results!

I actually ordered one of those right after the video! Makes it much more convenient for sure
Hello
Like older Digicam and have tiny collection. Most of them I have in use :-).
Greetings from lower Bavaria.
Greetings, they are too fun not to have in use!
I have never used a smart phone to take picture. I have a Canon ELPH 190IS and I think my photos are way superior then those taken with a phone.
that also looks like a fun little camera!
