I dont feel I need a better camera? shot these with a £25 superzoom

Actually, I dont remember 16mp BSI CMOS sensors, USB charging or wireless control from a smartphone being commonplace a decade+ ago, that article is the typical misinformed garbage pumped out by the reviewers who have a vested intrest in supporting a vastly reduced and struggling industry. And try as anybody might, the images I have posted are pretty good particularly considering the dirt cheap price and features offered. I just laugh at the reviewers and you guys fall for it and hand over vast amounts of your hard earned money, well carry on, it means more used cheap cameras for the future
The point is, even if it is decade old tech, that tech was good enough for 99.9% of the human population, the tech matured years ago and now we are into diminishing returns for way more money, remember I paid £25 for this camera

Tiresome. Time for a new chew toy?

Wow this is really condescending. What your needs are and what others needs are...is two different things. A budget p&s bridge camera with a tiny sensor is not going to fill my needs whatsoever. Perhaps it's good enough for some folks, most consumers are happy with what they get from their smartphones. For me, yes I spent money on a good full frame mirrorless camera because that is what I wanted. A bridge camera with a tiny sensor is not going to yield good results in low light, you don't have the option to change lenses for fast primes and ultra wide angle lenses, etc.

We fall for it? Handing over our hard earned money for good quality cameras like we are being scammed when a cheap $25 p&s bridge camera is somehow better than a $2500 full frame mirrorless camera?

You're out of your mind.

But...there is a camera out there for everyone. Get whatever you want and if you enjoy it, then that's all that matters. If you want a $25 camera, go for it. If you want a $6000 Leica Q3, then why not if you can afford it without going into debt. Haha
