After the hospital today we went to a camera shop in the same area as we don't have these shops over here. I had to get two new batteries for my camera. We chatted to the salesman, a very knowledgeable chap and he had some bad news for me. He said that he doesn't think that Canon will make a new SX8OHS, as the phones are becoming more popular and not many people are interested in ultra zoom power anymore. Everyone seems to go for phones now.
Then he showed me a new Nikon camera with a zoom of 25-2000, but it is way too expensive for me.
So my SX70HS might be the last camera in the Canon range. What a pity.
You can even take better photos than mine with your phone, but I am a schmuck with a phone camera and that's why I don't have a phone 😉 !LOLZ
Peace also to you and yours.
That's true, more and more photos are made by phone these days and the phone cameras are getting better and better. My daughter's phone has a Leica system and I am curious about the images it produces. Maybe I'll test it when I see her next time ... if they turn out good I might swap to a phone and have 10 kilos less in my backpack ... maybe I will not need a backpack anymore anyway ... 😂 !LOLZ
A 2000mm zoom would be awesome, but if there was such a lens for my camera it would cost more than a car, I believe.
Thanks, my friend, and have a wonderful day 🌞😊

I think that her phone would take great photos, as the guy at the Canon shop showed me some beautiful photos that were taken with phones. Maybe the days of cameras are numbered and that would be sad, as I have so much fun with mine. You are right about not needing a backpack as a phone can fit into a pocket, but I think that like me, you would rather continue with your camera. We were just made that way 🤣 !LOLZ
Yes, it would definitely cost a bomb for a separate 2000 zoom lens, but the Nikon that he showed me is the same as my single fixed lens camera. It works the same as the zoom is extended on a tracking carriage.
Thanks and cheers.
As long as the sensor size is as small as it is in the phones, there will always be big cameras too, I believe. The phone photos look good on the phone or even on big computer monitors, but when you want to print them in large formats, it will not work.
So, of course I will keep my camera, because if I had more space in my backpack, I would only fill it with other stuff like food or water. That might even be heavier than the camera 😂 !LOLZ
... and it's just a better feeling to take photos with a camera, as you know yourself.
So you might switch from Canon to Nikon one day? I have never used a Nikon, but I have heard they should take good pictures too ... not as good as Canon though 😉

Yes, I think that you are right, as it might be the pixels that matter. The problem is that I can only hope that my camera will last. If you had to stack your backpack with food, you would grow round like a ball and you will roll off the mountains when you go hiking 🤣🤣🤣 !LOLZ
Yes, I do know as a camera sits lovely in the hand and a phone would be like waving a little note book around 😉
Nope, no Nikon for me as even a used one is too expensive. I like you are a Canon man and I will treat my Canon like a baby. Pity that they don't seem to last for longer than 8 years, as my camera works overtime most days 🙏
Cheers and thanks.
Haha, I remember we have been talking about eating too much and rolling down the mountains before 🤣 !LOLZ
Yep, I prefer to hold the camera because many times there's a bit of my fingers to see in the images ... I'm not used of taking photos with the phone 😉
I can't imagine switching to another brand and will certainly also stay with Canon. My EOS R is now 4 years old and if nobody gifts me money for a newer model I hope it will last longer than 8 years. Hopefully yours will also work much longer 🤞

You seem to have a tendency to bring the subject up again and let's hope that it will not become real Hannes 😮 !LOLZ
Hahaha, phone photography is also not very conducive for me, as the damn thing feels like a toy. A heavy camera sits well in the hand for free hand shooting and with a phone, even your short fingers get in the way 🤣
Hopefully Hive will moon, as then you can buy one of the most expensive Canon cameras. I don't think that mine will last for 8 years, as it is already showing some niggles. Every 3rd photo that I take is blurred 😥
Cheers and thanks.
Haha, I don't think so, because I don't want to use gondolas to get up to the mountains 😅 !LOLZ
I like the phone for quick snap shots or short videos of a situation, but for real photos I don't use the phone ... maybe when I'm old and get lost I can send a photo to the rescue team to show them where I am 🤣
Actually, I don't need the most expensive cameras, because I love the one I have. There's only one thing I wished my camera would be able to do: focus stacking in camera when I make complicated macro or landscape shots. Of course, I can do it by hand, but telling the camera to make 100 shots would be so much easier 😉
Hm, the autofocus in your camera seems not to work properly sometimes. Maybe it's just a weak battery or the lens is dirty or fogged up, but I have no idea to be honest.
