Mi 10T Pro is better than Full Frame DSLR. Even comes with editing software like Lightroom, except for advanced editing like panorama stitching, but has sky replacement that is difficult to do in Photoshop. Even with 8K recording. Macro mode, I use it a lot but mine only 2 Mp. The key to this are full manual controls including raw. Many controls that are missing in many professional cameras. This review is done by a professional but he uses it mostly in automatic mode. Wait till he uses gimbal, tripod and lighting. And more external processing. Listen to his final comments. Good phone if you want to learn about professional photography with all the full manual controls. This review is on, Mi 10T Pro, not sure if the same as the 5G version. I can only buy 5G version, or sellers who are confused by these 2 versions of Mi 10T Pro. https://youtu.be/PoGERzybU0s https://youtu.be/PoGERzybU0s

Excellent comment on the need for 240 Mpixel cameras. So 106Mpixel is not enough. Actually 240Mpixel is just enough at 200 dpi. We need at least 300 dpi to print useable wall photos, which means we need more than 360 Mpixel. The comment on the need for high megapixel is very sound. We must preserve our memories. We would regret it taking them at low Mpixel some days. I still remember the days when I thought 2 Mpixel was good enough. They are now unuseable. Imagine what will happen to the 8Mpixel which are useable on PC monitors only.

Heavily processed Sony A100 10Mp DSLR raw files. Taken using Canon EOS 40D 10Mp DSLR fixed with a Vivitar 2.8mm f1.9 ailing lens. There are a lot of fungus inside the lens. I managed to clean a little of it but much still remains. The exposure was little processed from the original raw file.

Mine microscope is similar to this one but I bought it from Aliexpress sent via Singapore Registered Mail and arrived in less than 30 days. It came with 5 sample slides which I photographed above. It cost me RM200. No eyepiece. Objectives used were 4x, 10x and 40x. The 40x objective is barely useable. Without the micrometer stage, it is difficult to locae the sample to be photographed. The lack of condensor also reduced its resolution. I was not able to use the microscope because I do not have a suitable lighting. When I realised the LED flash for mobile phone is ideal, I started taking these photos.

It has a rechargeable battery. I kept it for a few years inside a refrigerator until the battery was flat but once recharged, it still works. It has 3 settings which came in handy because at the highest setting it is too bright for the 10x objective lens but slightly dark for the 100x objetive. I have actually ordered 30W LED floodlights but it may be too bright for the microscope, except for the 100x objective.
