Normally, I don\u2019t love point-and-shoots and prefer more control while shooting, but it\u2019s actually been quite liberating to shoot with. It\u2019s got a great built-in flash, and it\u2019s lightweight, which makes it great for travel or pocketing for a night out.<\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/hinomotohanpu.com\/products\/66?variant=41698085011591\">Hinomoto Konbu Bag<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 I thrifted this bag in Tokyo and have since fallen completely in love.
