Comment on Are there any affordable digital compact cameras out there with a zoom lens? in ~tech
akaval (edited )LinkI have a, now, old Olympus Stylus 1 that has an equivalent of 300mm zoom.

It doesn't have USB-C, and it's only 12 megapixels with a small sensor, so I'd only get it if you can find it cheap used. Otherwise I'd probably go for what Minty recommended, the Panasonic ZS70, that too can probably be found used.

As a person that also does hobby web dev with Django and htmx, good luck to you. I see that you're planning to let people generate their own sites and content. What are your plans for moderation? That's always something that have kept me from creating a service where people can post whatever they want.
Edit: Also wanted to say I really like the idea.
