U still haven't mention what are u shooting in the first place. And also it is not always about how old or new the camera technology is, it is about what quality of photos u are looking at and how much effort u are willing to spend just for a photo/shoot.
A building in the distance full of people around you across the water and another location is a temple in the backdrop. Don't expect the pictures to be better than taken with a camera stand but wondering how good they can be without one. What's like the limit.
