Well, the worst thing is to be in a situation where you need your S&W 9mm but all you have is your Canon P&S . . .
I also live in Manassas and have been able to avoid situations that required a S&W 9mm. Opportunities to use a camera present themselves daily.

Right, that model is kinda "one of a kind" and yes, it does far better telephotos using the optical zoom than the - not existent - digital zoom according to this article: https://www.phonearena.com/news/optical-zoom-digital-zoom-note-20-ultra-test_id127100
They've solved the problem by using a "periscope" camera, that is: the camera is in right angle to the hole, so the lens can be longer.
Another day, another lesson learned.

Periscope! That explains the space for a longer lens. Thanks!

Well if they don't steal the camera the perp can be ID'd from your snapshot, maybe.
If you use your cell phone the photo will be on the cloud even if they take the phone.

The old saying goes...
"Guns are like parachutes: if you don't have one when you need it, then chances are that you won't ever be in need of one again."
"Guns are like parachutes: if you don't have one when you need it, then chances are that you won't ever be in need of one again."
If you do not fly, you do not need a parachute. If you live in a totally different part of the world with a very much stable and safe society, you do not need a gun. A gun can also PUT you in a bad situation. If the bad guy KNOWS that you have no gun, the risk is far lower that he will use it. It will be far worse for him in court if he does. I think that most of the people here know very little about the Northern European societies. If you have USA as a reference only, I can agree to some point. Depends where in the US you live. I spent a few yrs in Morgantown, WV. That place felt very safe. I had no gun. University people usually do not carry guns, even if they own guns.

Unfortunately here in the US, criminals have more rights than the law abiding. Even if you give all your belongs, you stand to get shot, or stabbed. You’d be shocked at the trivial things a person gets killed for.
Very sad times.

The same in the Netherlands. Different situation indeed. People are not continuously scared by the media, we don't have a NRA, supported by the Weapon Industry.
The Weapon Industry is non existing, no lobby, no need to carry a gun...

You are lucky to live in such a beautiful country, and you don’t have the malcontents that pray on people that plaque us here. The media doesn’t promote the fear, it’s the animals committing crimes that create fear. I’m sure that you don’t have a person having their face slashed, or pushed in front of an oncoming train on a regular basis. And then there was a time when an elderly person was knocked out of their wheelchair, and it was stolen. Crime is out of control and getting worse.

I have been far more pleased when forced to use my cell phone for photography since I added an app allowing me to save in RAW. It provides far more PP capability.
