Await Digital Camera Uses 'Film Rolls' and Delivers 4 x 6 Prints

A new digital camera with an analog spirit.

It’s Not A Leica, It’s A Lumix

There’s an old adage in photography that the best camera in the world is the one in your hand when the shot presents itself, but there’s no doubt that a better camera makes a difference…

Question for hobby picture takers. There will be a full #LunarEclipse this year and I want to get good images. The last time I did this (2010) I had a Canon Rebel EOS checked out from the library and a telephoto lens. Is there something similar I could get from ebay or used equipment sites? I don't live near that library any more. :(

I think it's been 17 years ago since I last bought a #DigitalCamera that _wasn't_ integrated into a smart phone, so I am a bit behind on what the state of the art is in this field. But maybe 2026 I will get a new one.

What I am primarily for is something with a good optical zoom - one that is significantly better than the 5x optical zoom of my Pixel 8 Pro - yet small enough to carry around in the pocket of a jacket.

I am also curious how file transfer is done these days. Is it still done via USB cables, or is cloud integration via WLAN standard these days (I'd prefer #NextCloud integration, but I'd be willing to settle for others)?

@queenoliviastr Lost the original post (credit is due to someone else for finding this) but it is very fascinating!

A 'toaster with a lens': The story behind the first handheld digital camera

In 1975, a young engineer in the company that made Kodak film took the first picture on a handheld digital camera. Photography would never be the same again.
