[GH85Carrera]

My camera was first released 10 years ago, so it is not "state of the art."

I have it set to shoot in JPG & Raw at the same time. It makes a 59MB Raw file, and a 16 MB JPG file at 8688x5792 pixels. If I open the Raw file in Photoshop and do nothing but save it as a Tiff file, it makes a 361 MB file!

Memory cards are cheap. It is about the same weight as my old film camera I bought in 1971 that made me the money to buy my 74 914 2.0 back in 1974. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined someday I would have a camera with no film to process, and instant review of the images, quality better than Kodachrome 25 grain and an ASA of unheard of speeds of 6400 or higher is needed. And it can shoot as some crazy rate like 12 frames per minute I think, and autofocus and follow a moving object, while automatically adjusting exposure. And with RAW post processing, almost anything is possible. RAW post processing has an astonishing de-haze button. For shooting aerials on a not perfect clear day is easy.

I never dreamed I would have a cell phone like my iPhone 16 Pro, and camera like my Canon. The "good ol days" is not something I really miss. I love the new tech.
