Think I figured out why I couldn't power a camera

A buck converter would be far better than a linear regulator at those currents and voltage differences.

I do love my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ300 for all around use and its fantastic features. It does use a specific Lumix lithium battery so that just means I have to carry spares when I go way off road. Using 4K video can really eat up batteries and the fast memory cards that the camera requires but, as with anything, there are trade-offs. For something really specific I use my DSLR but for quick shots in the field, especially where I can't get that close, it works great. Here is a shot of a wood stork I got from a distance.

Your picture looks really nice!
Very relaxing, I would not mind being there now.
Lithium batteries, have exceeded my expectations. I originally had lots of reservations. But they seem to keep on working for many, many years, and just keep on charging and charging. So they have turned out to be a worthwhile replacement on Nickel Hydride AA's.
A while back, I use to want to get a high end Panasonic FZ100 (and similar) camera, and it (but latest models now) would still be on my short list. if/when I next need to buy a camera.
I think a lot of Panasonic as a make. One of the better Japanese brands.
