Aren't Modern Cameras Wonderful? Zoom 60 to1

This is with the Digital Zoom on, of course, but when you think I started out with a Kodak Brownie 620 camera that took eight shots on a 620 roll film, and of course had "instantaneous" and "B" settings and nothing else, to this Panasonic TZ60, that even creates HD movies,  self focuses and  takes 2,200 images on a card the size of a postage stamp.
I feel as if I am holding something Magical.
Such a camera could not have even been dreamed of when I got my first one, way back in 1953
And the most remarkable thing of all, it is small enough, in it's case, to go in my jacket pocket.
