You kind of nailed it and to be very honest, my heart is for Pixel but mind says S24U
Will definitely wait atleast for BBD to decide and might take an old generation like P8pro or S23U as I believe in value.
Many thanks !
I guess after unsolicited advise, unsolicited preaching is "in" these days !
But to answer your question, Yes, I have teached myself how to use camera and I also know that they are dumb !
With all due respect, here is what it is.
Camera phones should be the one, which should definitely have the capability to shoot within seconds and thats why they are there !
The phones are the ones which are mostly used for spontaneous photograhpy and for anything else, there could be another gear as well. (including the camera phones as well since now they can handle complex photography as well).
Anyways, just look at this picture, this was taken couple of years back with Pixel 6, our car was travelling at 60 kmph and mostly the other car is also travelling at the same speed.
Colours, brightness, etc all can be adjusted but the important point is there is no blurr, which is very difficult to rectify in post processing.
This is just an example, in real life, there are so many instances, where the picture to be taken within seconds and all the gyaan about photography doesnt matter!
