We visited Exbury Gardens (in Hampshire, UK) a couple of days ago. It's an amazing sight all year round, but in rhododendron and azalea season it's quite overwhelming!

My Panasonic Lumix TZ200 ("travel zoom" camera, compact with up to 15x optical zoom) is very convenient to carry around and has a viewfinder which is very useful on sunny days. I spotted a butterfly which was too far away for me to identify immediately but this photo clearly identifies it as a green-veined white:

Shots are a great way to make IDs and to see details of wildlife (if you can get them).

I just read another hilarious photography gear review... 😄

Gear reviewed:

1) LightDow 420-800mm f/8.3-f/16 zoom lens
2) NBD 4K Vlogging Camera

Page said:
(about the LightDow 420-800mm zoom lens)

Even the act of focusing will cause the lens to fall apart.
...
Worse still is the complete lack of sharpness or optical corrections.
...
I hope you like the color purple because your image will have an overall color cast which is especially egregious anywhere that light meets dark.
