How does it know how to meter the scene? For my regular point and shoot I'll aim at shadow or light area to change the look and lock in focus. How does this thing do that? I want the most basic point and shoot possible and I'm looking at this and the 28mm version.

Today I wanted to share the work of a free man, I present to you, Alex Burke
Never really interacted with the guy when he still used to post here so I shall simply copy paste his own description of himself

I hope we can all do a Burke some time in the future and leave this place to live off our hobbies

I recently started a college darkroom class. While the whole process is fun, cool, novel, and actually pretty useful skill (which is more than can said more most college courses) but fuck me I'm sticking to digital.
Film costs more than bullets, and you can recycle bullets. The last big brand film cam was made over 20 years ago. I've seen an argument for sticking the middle finger to A.I, but scans are gonna be shared online anyway? It's the cheapest path to Full Frame at least.

This is how I learned photography and Photoshop -- 'Dino-Ramas'," Joey brings to mind his first shot.

I went to the art gallery expecting my snaps to come out clean, raw, emotional, inspiring. But I couldn’t get into the last room at the back because several gorgeous women were recording the artworks on high end mirrorless cameras suspended in the air on avant-garde gimbals that stabilise themselves using motion sensors and electronics.
I walked through, hesitatingly, a budget DSLR on my person; they laughed as I awkwardly trudged by, on account of me having a Pentax camera slung around my neck apres snapshitting session.
>“Who is he? Is that, ew, an old Pentax?”
I could hear them chide…
>“Does he think the interchangeable lens makes him a kinok?”
They tried to whisper but their scorn and derision and mocking filled the cool gallery air.
They were walking through the exhibits with gimbals that corrected themselves with motion sensors, and I promptly left the Gallery with two dozen blurry snapshits on my measly 2GB SD card…
