Back with a random video -- excuse me while I get warmed up because it's been a while! Let me put this disclaimer upfront -- I do not recommend anyone buy this camera in 2022 unless you can afford for it to turn into a paperweight if something major breaks on it. At this point, some of them are reaching 16 years old so spare parts are scarce and sometimes non-existent. You've been warned!
