Panel 1
*Alex and Sam are standing in a camera shop, looking at the new EOS R8 Mark II displayed on a shelf.* *Alex’s eyes light up with excitement.*
Alex: Sam, did you see this? Canon’s latest marvel of engineering!
Sam: Yeah, it’s supposed to be their lightest full-frame camera now.
Panel 2
*Alex and Sam are outside the shop, walking down a street. Alex is holding the EOS R8 Mark II, looking thrilled.* Sam (deadpan) *Robin, who suddenly appears from behind a trash can, grins mischievously.*
Alex: Imagine taking pictures of the stars with a camera lighter than a feather and stabilized!
Sam: It’s a nice improvement, I guess. But how often do you need in-body stabilization for stars?
Panel 3
*Robin is holding a tiny, imaginary camera, mimicking the EOS R8 Mark II in Alex’s hands.* Alex (grinning) Robin (shrugs) *Sam rolls his eyes, shaking his head.* Sam (sighing) *Robin sticks out her tongue, and the trio continues walking, Alex still holding the EOS R8 Mark II with a dreamy expression.*
Robin: Hey, I’ve got an even lighter camera! It’s made of dreams and unicorn hair.
Alex: Yeah, but it doesn’t have in-body stabilization.
Robin: True, but it’s still lighter than a cloud.
Sam: You two are insane.
