So basically I'm looking for a digital compact camera, i own a canon dlsr with that custom fw but ima be honest i never take this huge bitch with me. But I also don't really want to use my phone because idk the pics simply veeeery rarely manage to capture this idk what I remember seeing in my head. there seems to be this e CHDK (Canon Hacker Development Kit) thingy I assume thats something I want ...
but at the same time I honestly really don't mind this old look cameras. I know too little about this to really tell where this sorta look im thinking off comes from if its the lens or the sensor or actually software that matters the most.
Whats interesting specifically for me is:
-I guess some flexibility with the file format this outputs and no super stupid firmware problems like being restricted to very tiny sdcards (I ideally never want to worry about swapping sdcards unless to extract). Raw may be cool as a concept but im not exactly sure if I will actually make use of that but still a non shitty firmware does seem appealing
- something that doesn't require very calm hands to somewhat reliably produce somewhat sharp pictures. I know there is no perfect image stabilisation and that it also depends on the amount of light you want/need to capture but I'd still like it if I could somewhat casually take pictures
- (not forced but would be useful) something that doesn't like produce sounds or red notification lights before taking a pic. The best pics i took of my friends were without their knowledge so like I'd appreciate that if it can't be disabled to always make a sound or flash a light that it at least does that AFTER it took a picture <if it plays a sound via a speaker I could solder that out cleanly probably assuming it can't be disabled>
[more dunno preferences/requirements below] <pic related is a random picture taken with some old samsung as its the only file I have rn that remotely captures the sort of feeling>
