will cost probably a lot more but if you find a good deal on a superzoom camera those are neat because at the max zoom range you can get some shots that not many other cameras can take (and certainly not phones)
I got a used sx60 hs for like $200 a couple years ago, compared to my phone (oneplus 12) it’s decent at macro, great at high zoom, but worse at basically anything else. of course if you want that look then it’s good for that too lol.
Also keep in mind that those all have pretty small sensor sizes (actually apparently the sx60 hs has exactly the same sensor size as this camera) so you need the area to be pretty bright for max zoom to be usable, and fast subjects are pretty hard.
curated photo dump:
TV
captive birds
wild birds (i really don’t know why that hawk let us get so close to it…)
full zoom
macro (it can actually focus on the lens, if you ever want to do that)
top of the london eye
random helicopter
can get some nice bokeh
full zoom range across the thames

doesn’t have that 2000’s aesthetic quality, it’s giving more 2010, sorry hard pass
