No need to go this far.  Why not use the phone camera in its default mode?  Everything in the image comes out pretty much in focus; no surprises.

Nah...  This photo is a train wreck.  However, it makes a very useful point:  AI-generated "OOF" is unreliable, and at best, a crap shoot.  Stick to real cameras.

It seems that you have found yourself in a scenario where it is not possible to make a photograph within certain proscribed constraints. I'm not sure that a small-sensor camera would help.  I'd ...

I would: Firstly, it forces you to be more precise in your image-taking.  It also enables you to make those night shots with ease. Secondly, it gives you the chance to place yourself into the images. ...

Thanks for the link.  That gibberish generator will keep me entertained for a long time to come.

It looks very much to me like a problem with the focal plane shutter.  It may be malfunctioning.  You should be able to determine if this is the case by viewing the action of the shutter at a long ...

Your post doesn't make much sense to me. You also ignore the fact that there may be breakthroughs, legitimate ones, in image sensor technology based on existing ideas.  Sigma may eventually produce ...

It seems you are ready to go.  That's quite an impressive list of equipment that you inherited.  From what you have written, I get the impression that you are quite young.  Perhaps a teenager?  If ...

As long as you can see the viewfinder with maximal sharpness, I wouldn't worry about it.

Not to mention the cost of a computer that can handle 4K/60.  That's a CPU/GPU intensive environment, and editing may prove to be more of a hassle than it is worth. 1080/30 is actually pretty ...

If all you intend to do is make some family snapshots, you may want to consider buying a point and shoot camera, one that can be used with a waterproof housing.  The camera goes into the housing, ...

Sorry, I missed your comment, or I would have added my support to it. No question that sometimes it is difficult to be on the, um... correct side of the consensus.

Your link may hint what the acronym stands for:  "Read And Write." Seems to make sense.

Seconded.

That "may" work. But, doing so might alter the overall character of the image in a way that you don't like.  It may more useful to catch this kind of thing during the shoot by altering the ...

Is that your car?  Lucky you!

Passenger side floor has always been my choice.  Quick access, and there's not really any place for the camera to fall, or for that matter, "go."

That's Frank Lloyd Wright, I believe? Sonoma Desert, Death Valley? If I am correct, I'll pass on posting.  People have always guessed my selections within moments, anyway.

Image Source: https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sonydscr1 The Sony DSC R1 had a very clever implementation of this idea.

It depends on the level of discipline. Back before digital, when I shot Kodachrome, I often did landscape studies in vertical orientation, making two images with a small distance of lateral ...
