This is perfect territory for HHHR mode... A click of the top left dial on S5ii

Beautiful shot. You need to go back and shoot it with a proper camera !!

Thanks. I agree!

The Chinese are releasing 50 & 85mm lemses into a market full of the Lumix versions they gave away as with the S5ii, 50, 85 and 20-60 last year.... Crazy bargain. 85 used still not cheap though? No idea why?

Thanks. I agree!

I've similar with a Pentax compact 6MP and these have the CCDs and manufacturers tried to make them as filmic. It is good already, I'm sure modern upscaling works well.

I couldn't replicate most of mine, I could try some but the coklective look of that camera is vintage 2000s. It had great close bokeh too, it had an interesting look if you could only do video whichbit had 240 or something... But still recorded memories.

Here's a 2009 view of Haystack Rock and Cannon Beach I snapped using an ancient point & shoot. The beach at low tide is very photogenic!

It looks like something out of Ankgor Wat, the way the sides curve up like that.

Yeah... there were definitely a few I took back when that I really wish I had the chance to go back and re-take with a better camera; unfortunately, several of the places have changed and the pic ain't there no more.

#1 on my re-take list:
