Cameras. You can take pictures with your phone, but despite Apple's advertisements, a phone camera will never produce anywhere near the same quality a dedicated digital camera with interchangeable lenses. And neither are as good as film.
And cameras will never replace a good painting!
Jk, I still use my handheld camera, a shame it takes 30 seconds to boot it
Yowsa. That's an old camera!
I have a point-and-shoot Canon from around the mid-2010s that's still perfectly functional. It starts faster than I can get to the phone app on my phone, and takes pictures faster. The video is worse.
My Fuji T-10 takes a couple of seconds to start from cold, but less than a second if it's in stand-by.
The only digital camera I ever owned that took double-digit seconds to start was my very first - I don't even recall the brand, but it was before smart phones and the resolution was pathetic, like 800x600 or something. And it was so. Slow. Starting, and snapping.
Maybe I'm overly dramatic and it actually takes less than 10 seconds, but it feels like an eternity...
I wonder why you "can't" have a camera that is ready instantly.
