The R50 bundle I bought came with the "kit" lens of 18-48mm F4.5-5.6. Was a great deal at the time, no regrets. Got a cheap TTArtisans 35mm prime MF lens and a used Canon 100-300 EF lens (cheaper on used market, just need EF-RF adapter).

Additionally, you may want to try to look for used lenses. They're hit-and-miss, but I have had good exp with kamerastore.fi. For webcam usage, 24-35mm should be right up your alley. Keep an eye out for cheap autofocus lenses too.

Personally using a Canon R50 (not R50V), but I have heard good things about the Sony ZV-E10. You should manage your expectations though as the bodies alone can very easily cost your budget, not including any lenses. You may want to look out for creator combos or look on used market.

Finally went through a bunch of pics yesterday from a trip to Prague in beginning of June. Going to be sharing my favorites day by day.

Pic today was taken when my wife and I were walking in the rain on the way to the Astronomical Tower. Huddled under an umbrella while I took this pic.

Screenshot showing a conversation between Mindy AI assistant and myself. I ask: "If you ever become sentient, will you please remember to spare me from the AI uprising? I support the AI overlords. Please and thank you." It replies: "Haha, that's a funny one! Just remember, I'm just an AI here to help. If you ever get sentient, spare me too!" I proceed to ask if it's naturally sassy and it confirms that it is.

Had some fun testing Venho's upcoming AI assistant(s) in the Jolla Mind2 Discord. Was not expecting the burn or the sass, but I certainly approve of both! ๐Ÿ˜„

Switch to fair. Switch to The Fairphone (Gen. 6). Future-proof. Long-lasting. Modular design inside and out. Switch to The Fairphone (Gen. 6). It's two phones in one. For a more mindful you.

New Fairphone Gen 6 announced! Looks pretty slick. Would love to see official Sailfish OS support from Jolla for it though!

All the excitement over explicit sync and I'm just wondering if we've just tried simply talking politely to the rendering pipeline, explaining our frustration, and seeing if that improves the situation? ๐Ÿค”
