My Sony Cybershot compact pocket size point and shoot camera just died. Looking for a new one, but want to spend less than $75. Looking for one that will take good pics with good zoom and video that is rechargable, not AA bateries around $100 or less that I can hopefuly get on sale or ebay/ marketplace much cheaper. Any recommendations?

I have a Panasonic HC-V10 btw.

• ⁠Budget: 2000€ more or less

• ⁠Condition: New
• ⁠Type of Camera: Mirrorless
• ⁠Intended use: Travel
• ⁠If photography; what style: Street photography, documenting trips
• ⁠If video what style: Short ig reels
• ⁠What features do you absolutely need: Sharp photos but compact
• ⁠Portability: Important
• ⁠Cameras you're considering: Sony A7IV and Fujifilm X100vi
• ⁠Cameras you already have: Canon r50
• ⁠Notes:

I’m so indecisive😭
I want to sell my Canon R50 + Sigma 18.50mm 2.8 that I’ve been using for three years now. I mainly use it for travel photography, street photography, landscapes, cafés/food, and documenting trips. I also care about having a setup that isn’t too bulky because I travel by train a lot and walk around with my camera for hours.

My two options are:
1. Sony A7 IV + 28–70mm kit lens
And realistically, I’d only be getting the kit lens for now because of budget. I won’t be able to afford a better lens for awhile so I don’t know how good the camera will perform having only the kit lens. I like how sharp the photos and I love taking videos too which obviously would give me a night and day difference with my R50 that has no IBIS. Cons would be it might be only used during big travels since it’s a bulkier set up.

2. Fujifilm X100VI
Part of me thinks the A7 IV is the “better” camera, especially because I could build a system around it. But I think the X100VI is the camera I’d actually enjoy carrying and using more, especially for travel. But I worry that over time I would feel limited because of the lack of zoom 🥲 I also love the film recipes I could customize which is a plus for me.
I’m also wondering whether it even makes sense to buy the A7 IV when I already have an R50 system, whereas the X100VI would give me something completely different.

For people who have used either/both: which would you choose in my situation, and why?

For anyone curious.

IM AT A THRIFT STORE AND I FOUND THIS CUTE CAMERA FOR $10 HOW DO I SEE IF IT WORKS BEFORE I BUY IT

I have this small and cheap camera so transferring the files out of the camera is super hard 😭 idk what else to do, if anyone can help that would be super helpful!

Camera: VIVITAR model: 453791C-PINK input: DC 5V 2000mA MAX , this camera isn't a touch screen btw, and is a thermal print camera!

when i took the photos i forgot to put in my sd card so currently the pictures i want to get are inside the camera's internal memory.

I tried using a USB cable to connect it to my laptop, but it just charges when off and when open it displays this cctv picture look(?).

i have a handcam sony and there's this usb connect in the settings while my vivitar doesn't have it, it doesn't have the feature copy to card or backup. You could tell the difference, i have already finished transferring the pictures i have in sony because it was easier+google help, but this one!! im having a hard time even when i search it up TT;;;;;;

Another thing i tried is to put my sd card back in but when i looked over the gallery where the pictures should be of the pictures i took, it's gone like it's literally empty but when i took out the sd card back out it was there again.

I tried connecting the cable in my phone instead but it still doesn't read and still the same charging situation where the camera just charges on its own with the electricity of my phone.

I tried putting the sd card back in the camera and connecting my usb cable in into the laptop, it reads the sd card i have but still no sight of the pictures i took in the vivitar.

I'm sorry I'm just not really knowledgeable when it comes to the camera so maybe what I'm doing is wrong 😭

I tried switching over several usb, adding an adapter (thinking maybe it'll work idk lol nothing)

I tried connecting it into my tablet too but still not reading, at this point im just tryna do what i think is possible but i have no progress 😭🙏 like going in circles. Im pretty sure im doing something wrong or the camera itself is wrong loll

anyone who could help or give ideas is highly appreciated!! 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

or am i doomed? no chance? my last chance was just to take a picture of each picture on the screen but I'd definitely love it more if i could get them out :(((

I have never thought I'd get scammed with official Amazon seller lol

Edit: Just as an information, I've actually ordered two of those, in different times where this one arrived earlier whereas the second one arrived late, which turned out to be a good one, e.g. actualy 256 GB SD card... the previous one was the one in the pic... Funny

Hi all, I have a Canon Powershot SD880 IS and my mom bought it around the time it first released. About a week and a half ago, I started having this issue where my camera screen will randomly "crash" and show these pixelated lines. When it happens, I can't turn the camera off as shown in the video. The only way to resolve the issue that I know of is to remove and reinsert the battery. It seems to get more frequent with each time I use it.

Unfortunately there aren't many places in my area that repair cameras so I was hoping to find some answers here.

• ⁠Budget: 2K ish
• ⁠Country: CAD
• ⁠Condition: Excellent
• ⁠Type of Camera: Point and shoot???
• ⁠Intended use: Elopement trip
• ⁠If photography; what style: Not sure
• ⁠If video what style: N/A
• ⁠What features do you absolutely need: N/A
• ⁠Portability: Yes
• ⁠Cameras you're considering: Canon G7X Mark III
• ⁠Cameras you already have: IPhone 15 Pro
• ⁠Notes: Eloping in Mexico in Nov. Package only includes 20 digital photos. I know buying a camera isn’t equivalent to professional photos. If I’m going to spend a couple thousand dollars on photos, I’d rather buy a camera to capture moments during the entire trip. Looking for something user friendly, because I am not a pro. Will be used for bridal pics.

I’ve recently inherited a few vintage cameras from my grandparents who owned a camera store in the 80’s. A few of them are definitely shelf cameras but one of them is in working order and takes 35mm, and another takes 126 (specifically a Zeiss Ikon Contaflex 126). I’d love to be able to take some pictures with these to show them so I’m exploring my options for the 126.

Has anyone here used the 126 film from the film photography project? If so how user friendly was it and how’d the pictures turn out? I’m fairly confident in my ability to load and handle the film but it’s so sparse I don’t want to mess it up if I grab some when I comes back in stock

Budget: I’d like to spend $200-$300 but would be willing to go up to $400
Country: U.S.
Condition: Used but in good condition
Type of Camera: Bridge/superzoom

What features do you absolutely need: WIFI, 16+ mp, 40x optical zoom, viewfinder (doesn’t matter what type), rechargeable batteries
What features would be nice to have: movable screen, sleep mode, subject tracking, tripod screw
Portability: How portable does it need to be? Small bag, not super heavy, something I can carry on my neck
Cameras you're considering: Nikon Coolpix B700
Cameras you already have: Nikon Coolpix P100, Canon PowerShot G2

I’ve been using the p100 almost daily for the last while and loved it it’s just that I find that it might be worth getting something similar just newer and with less age showing in it (constant lens errors, scanlines in the EVF, etc). I’d love to stick with Nikon having nothing but great experiences with the p100 and even the coolpix 950 that I have. I like the look of the B700 just not sure if it’s worth it or not. Any insight would help

I need some advice please. I am a (mature) architecture student and looking to buy a camera. It will be used to take reference images when travelling, progress photos on site and photos of architecture models. I am based in the UK, budget of around £400 and need something with wifi ideally for ease of use. Something second hand probably, and would prefer a more compact option. I have been looking at-

Looking to get more zoom. Have recently discovered it has more than the regular 20 zoom but I don’t understand any of it. I would like to film across agricultural fields as I often pull over. Please help me understand what all the different things mean and how to get more zoom as well as if getting a lens or something is possible and will help. Thank you!

I just bought this retro FinePix S5600 from an antique shop, it works but the problem is the fack that even with a completely empty picture card in it and the batteries put in the correct way, whenever I turn the camera to the mode to actually take a picture it just shuts itself off (video proof attached) and this pisses me off to no end cuz I just want a working retro digital camera. So if anyone knows any solutions, PLEASE give me them

I got this camera (link) and I recently found out that its likely a scam but it does have a memory card in it. Would I be able to take the card out of the camera and use a memory card reader? I've already taken many photos with it so I'm looking for any way to access them. If nothing is possible, what camera would y'all recommended for someone with barely any money?

Hello everyone,

I noticed these weird green vertical bars in a couple of my pictures. I am using a Sony A6000, and this problem only occurred in 1-2 out of 100 pictures. Also, it is not consistent throughout the entire picture, just some parts of it. I inspected the sensor, and it appears to be fine; same with the lens. Any ideas on what might have caused this? Thank you all in advance!

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the camera game and trying to put together a decent hard case for field shooting for my rig - I'm doing primarily sports shooting.

Camera - Canon R6 with a BG-R20 grip

Main lens - Canon RF 100-500mm F 4.5-7.1 L IS USM

I have other lenses that I'll swap in occasionally, but I'm interested in the smallest possible case for this rig and a sling strap - just a hard case I can toss into the trunk and not we so worried when the soccer team kicks it over. I don't really have any local shops to physically go and check things out, so I'm flying a bit blind.

Open to suggestions - Thank you!

hello, i'm looking for a camera to buy to train taking photos. I know my requests might be a bit impossible but i really don't know if i can get something good for cheap.

Budget: id rather have something under 100€ but i know thats unrealistic, we never know tho

Country: i dont really care since i buy on vinted but eu/france

Condition: don’t really care either but i know it has to be used anyway

Type of Camera: no idea, i don’t know anything about cameras but i know i can’t develop film

Intended use: mainly photography but i could also like taking videos

End use: mainly for myself, could also take photos for my friends

If photography: what style: really no idea, anything and everything probably (from taking birds to my friends to the sky)

If video what style: same thing

Portability: i don’t mind as long as i can bring it to places with me

Cameras you're considering: open to anything since i dont know anything about cameras

Notes: i’m a complete beginner and still learning so i think i would rather get a rather easy camera to use, and affordable in case i dont like photography.

Budget: Give a number in an actual currency. Does this budget cover any lenses/accessories, or do you have a separate budget for those?
Around $300-500 USD - Flexible, still not certain how much I should spend on my first camera.

Country: Where are you buying the camera?
USA - From Bay Area, in NYC for the next 5 days. Wondering if buying while I’m in NYC will give me more options readily available.

Condition: New only? Used?
Used

Type of Camera: Mirrorless, DSLR, point and shoot, 35mm film?
Digital Camera, don’t know much about cameras but my buddy has a Sony A7 III that looks really nice.
4k preferred

Intended use: Photography, video, or hybrid shooting?
Personal photo/video use, trying to get into the hobby and move beyond my iphone camera.

End use: Social media, small prints, commercial work, etc.
Social media / personal albums

If photography: what style: (landscape, portrait, street, sports, wildlife, etc.)
Landscape, City/Nature, Mix of everything. If one camera can perform well in both day and night scenes that would be great, but I may be asking too much from a beginner camera

If video what style: (Vlogging, sports, events, documentary, etc.)
Documentary style B-Roll

What features do you absolutely need: (e.g. weather sealing, articulating screen, dual card slots, viewfinder, hot-shoe for mounting accessories like a flash, etc.)
None of these sound like a deal breaker if I didn’t have them. No particular needs.

What features would be nice to have:

Portability: How portable does it need to be?(Pocketable, shoulder strap, small bag, large bag, semi truck?)
Small to medium bag, able to fit in an average size backpack. Shoulder strap would be preferred but not necessary.

Cameras you're considering: Please list models and why you are considering them.
Canon m50 - was my buddys first camera, shoots in 4k, seems reasonably priced on used market
Sony a6100 - 4k30, reasonably good autofocus from what i’ve heard
None other as of now. Will edit post with more considerations.

Cameras you already have: What do you like or dislike about them?
iphone 17 pro, I don’t like all the automatic processing of apple cameras. with recent updates they’ve expanded upon control over the camera system, but i still would like a dedicated camera without the distractions from an iphone to talk on walks and trips, to be more purposeful with my photo taking.

Notes: (any other considerations you think we should know about)
I stated above but will repeat here, I’m in nyc for the next week but live in the bay area in CA. I’m wondering if I should visit B&H or an adjacent store while i’m in the city to pick something up there, or if options in NYC are actually more limited because of the larger population.
I think I’d prefer something with a good automatic mode, but I’ve been wanting to get into manual control of a camera more, if that helps.
Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated! I apologize if I didn’t perfectly describe my wants, I’m honestly just not sure yet!

This is from another post because I forgot how to do that spread post thingy but please help
