One of the main things stopping me from having kids is the thought that they might grow up and not know how to use a fucking camera. Chills.

Most likely caused by the ultra zoom and not paying attention to the camera

In other words, not knowing how to use a fucking camera.

I'm not so convinced you would do better. Even professional people tends to have issues with tracking when they need to use silly magnifications to have something to actually capture. Their only advantages is they don't need to hand-hold, so they get a bit less camera shake. But still so easy to end up with "where is that than plane or rocket???"
