I got my first digital camera in late 1999, when the consumer models appeared. They were what we now call point-and-shoots, Nikon then, until 2005 or 2006 when I made the plunge and got a DSLR, a Canon 5D. Then upgrades and a lot of high end glass. Unfortunately, I was getting older and my spine more crumbly. The weight of two Canon bodies and lenses on the street became too much.
Skipping some intermediate steps, I now shoot with a Fujifilm X-T3, smaller, lighter and cheaper than the Canons. The images are as good or better. I love it. This picture of a red wing blackbird, shot with a 18-55mm lens (1.5 crop factor), was taken in Forest Park yesterday. The crop is at least 90% and it stays sharp. FB does a poor job rendering it. On my computer, there is much more gradation in the blacks.

Looks like a crow in the army with one stripe on its sleeve. Nice shot and sharp indeed.
You've captured him very well.
Wonderful photo!
The black-bird got its stripe, great shot!
What a beauty.
They've returned here for the season.
