The Babylon Bee is one of my favorite. I enjoy most of their satire.
Although, it would not surprise me if Cannon did something like to this to try to keep their market share because Sony is beating them.
As an end user only, I have no idea about computer tech stuff. On UHH there seems to be enough questions about computer hardware to that a forum could be established. As stated first, I am not the person to run that forum.

Delkin Black SD cards have a lifetime warranty and each has a serial number. Delkin marketing says it will replace your card in 48 hours if it fails.
FastStone is free.
For a reasonable price, Zoner Photo Studio is a great program.
I use VND's. You get what you pay for. Price often reflects quality. In addition to other top brands mentioned by others, I use Promaster HGX VND's (HGX series filters are made by Murami) with no issues. I do stack it on my CPL, so in turning one you may also the other, but that is part of the enjoyment of setting up the shot. VND's offer the ability to change the amount of light without unscrewing and screwing on another ND in that respect they save time.
the 6400 does not have IS, but it has the next generation bionx processor to allow firmware updates that will offer more features (i.e. animal eye detect). The 6500 has IS, but the first generation bionx processor. Sony will give you firmware updates but some things would not be available (i.e. animal eye dectect). Both processors are great and these both great cameras.
The focus system will focus on the foremost object in the frame unless you tell it otherwise by using AF-C and expandable flexible spot. Then moving the green square to the left so it will first focus on the bird.
It was the end of my sophomore HS year and I was getting ready for church when Mt St Helens blew its top. We are south of it and did not get any ash from that eruption but in later eruptions we got ash. I have toured the place several times since then.
More than a brand or model of camera/lens, it is mostly about knowing what the camera and lens can do. When you know that then can you make adjustments to get respectable images.
Because you asked about brand...SONY is the only option that makes sense.
Many phones give the ability to make some adjustments to the camera.
I looked at the Cambridge site mentioned above and it seems to be a good resource.
You may want them to to do some post-processing of images using FastStone or with a phone Snapseed.
Maybe the OP is noticing the difference between "taking a picture" and "making an image."
Sony FE 24-105mm F4 G OSS is a full-frame lens.
Sigma made a 10-20mm lens for A-mount but it is designed for the crop sensor. You should able to use a setting for "35mm equivalent" on your camera which should help.
