Yes , i still use a camera not my phone, and the camera i use now days
is a small point and shoot, Panasonic,DMC-SZI, with a Leica lens,
DC Vario-Elmar---1.3 1.9/4.5-4.5,takes photos i am happy with, even the zoom,.
Take a look at this example for zoom, from a roof top in Venice.
Look in the far distance where the water chanel ends,thats in the closeup
photo,probably about half a mile away.
