Summary
Rain and cold prevent meaningful outdoor testing; he experiments with framing, screen- versus-lens eye contact, upside-down handling, and wrist strap. He defends the superzoom compact’s 30× reach and macro capability over pricier low-light models, accepting poor evening quality. Wind-reduction-off restores bass; he considers a £12–£15 wind muff, then loses a nearly recovered Hearthstone match.
Insight
Gear evaluation is more measured here: practical tradeoffs are accepted when they match intended use.
