You never know what you are going to see when you walk out the door, even if it is just for a quick turn around the block. So, I am glad I had a well-worn Panasonic Lumix LX-3 with me when I came across two FedEx trucks in a docking configuration. The LX-3 is an old digicam from the late aughts, a period of time when many of us humans were still somewhat sanguine about the role of technology in our lives. At any rate, the camera made quite a splash, and was pretty expensive, too, retailing for between $400-$500 according to the internet. I think it was one of the first digicams to have a super wide lens (24mm equivalent). Of course, that is roughly the field of view of many phone cameras these days. It gives the beloved 'real estate' stretch toward the edges of the frame, but also makes your face look thinner in selfie mode, so there's that. These days you can find these little cameras for under $50 if you look around. Honestly, it still takes pretty decent images and is a fun little snap shooter. And, you can just leave your phone at home for a change.
