Fumo plush of Aya Shameimaru from Touhou Project sitting in front of a bowl of Phnom Penh Rice Noodle Soup, purchased for $10 + tax, albeit with a smaller portion size on account of being part of a lunch special
My thoughts on the soup:
The broth is pretty damn good, and I really like the addition of ground pork, as it doubled as both a meat item and seasoning for the soup. Shrimp is shrimp, and shrimp is good, though the deboned pork hock is a little tough. It ain't too bad, cuz sometimes, you want something to chew on. The won tons are the standard Chinese pork won tons, so if you've had some variation of a won ton soup from a restaurant, you already know what those taste like.
My only real complaint about the soup is the use of quail eggs, which really bulk up the price of the soup. Sure, the whites are tougher while you still get a decently soft yolk, though I think I prefer the whites of chicken eggs, and there's a lot more egg for a lot less money.

My thoughts on the camera:
I'm probably not the best person to comment on this, since I've been surviving on an AliExpress camera for about 16 months, and any sort of name brand camera with 20 or more megapixels would already be an upgrade. I think the issues I'll have with taking fumo pics with the professional camera will be more of me using a cheap lens and less about the camera body itself.
35mm is a bit more zoomed in than i'd like, which forces me to move three paces bacck from the subject I want to photograph. Another issue is that it's admittedly difficult to keep my arms still while shooting at a low shutter speed, which can make taking the right pic difficult. On top of this, the Temu lens being manual focus means that there will be some imprecision with the lens focus due to human error.
Even with these issues in mind, it's pretty clear that the Sony camera spanks the hell out of taking pics with a rugged phone.

Even with Bluesky's compression, the difference in image quality should be as clear as night and day.
