What video/photo cameras are available that are similar to the functionality of smartphones but are purely just cameras? (lemmy.world)

I've been taking pics & vids with my smartphone for years but I'm tired of it telling me the memory is full. I want to have a dedicated camera that can upload to clouds, youtube, share via email, text etc. Anybody out there know about cameras?

Thank you, the problem with Google photos is they upload everything from my phone, even the pictures & videos that were just practice, not perfect, botched and I want to delete them. But Google sucks everything up from my phone and puts it in the cloud before I get a chance to review it, edit it, delete it. And then paying for storage of things I would've deleted 😱

In my opinion the "store everything" approach is actually a good thing. By not caring about which pictures look best I can immerse myself in the moment more instead of caring about storage. Many times when I reviewed pictures I took in the past, shots I thought were terrible actually captured details that the "good" shots didn't. You'll have more clarity when leisurely reviewing pictures on a computer.

I agree that storing pictures on someone else's service is not a good idea in the long run. The recent AI hype wave affected RAM, SSD and HDD prices. I think grabbing large SD cards now before they are affected too would be a good move.
