I think the penultimate photo looks better than the final one that has the luminance and stuff balanced, but maybe that's just me.

It’s not just you.

Zooming in, I feel like the “camera jpeg” lost sharpness to recompression.

It’s kind of insane that cameras either dump raw data, or do all this magic only to throw so much away to an ancient image codec that loses even more when recompressed.

Newer ones can save a HEIF or a “lossy RAW” in some circumstances (which is an infinite improvement), but still; I eagerly await the day cameras can save a JPEG-XL all by themself, and that I can post them on the Fediverse.
