yup mk VII - got a spare battery , big mem card and carry pouch for my trip to Thailand. Was too busy to read the instructions so ended up with horrible photos on anything except auto so stuck to the pixel 4 which made much better photos in no effort mode.
Damn you, that channel is addictive as hell.
well i am hoping that cosmic ordering is a thing 
(after all i used to research houses in Cornwall and im here ) but i get obsessed with details ,with cars ,would i pay the extra 50k or so for a turbo s .that colours amazing but what about swirl marks (goes and researches paint protection) and depreciation ,would i be better with a gt3 or gt3rs in 991 form as a modern classic that will hold value better ? and theres no way i am parking this at tesco ,need a sturdy runaround as well (looks at land rovers )

I spent around £500 on a sony RX100m2 some years ago now and i only used it for about 2 photo's
I always just use my mobile phone camera

It's nothing new, money burning a hole in your pocket. You just have the nerd edition of the disease.
I have it too. But unlike common mortals who spend money on useless trash, 'I' only buy best-in-class quality junk, and spends hours of research just to make sure I've got the best. Gotta have a 200m dive watch, a pen that has been certified by our best astronauts to be vaccum-resistent, or the sunglasses that let you observe nuclear explosions in complete safety.
Well, it's kinda true. I'm too poor and stingy and class-conscious to buy that stuff. I'm more of a 'value-for-money' guy, stuff that last, you know, that I can pretend to become potential familly heirlooms. I also like watching useless (to me) shows, like watch repairs, gun channels, or car repair and hot-rodding. It's a guy disease. Nothing to worry about.
