The other camera (my phone) doesn't have a 200mm telephoto lens.

Phones are about 30% camera now, so eventually they will.

Yeah, you go to read reviews about phones and 2/3 of it is talking about the camera..

Because everything else barely matters anymore. Most modern phones are powerful enough for everything to run smoothly. Hell, most people don't even really need the high specs when all they do is social media and internet browsing.

And then you have the Xiaomi Ultra range which is basically a bridge camera with a phone attached!

After the first time I drove 3.5 hours to a dark sky spot for astrophotography (late at night with no civilization nearby to avoid light pollution) with no SD card I bought a 32gb card, wrapped it up with tape and have it in my wallet at all times.

Thankfully that was a 3 night camp out so I drove to the nearest town and saved the other two nights hahah
