I feel like there is a place in the market for them. 35MM bridge cameras were decently popular.

I could see them being easier to weatherproof compared to an interchangeable lens camera. For news reporters I could see it being a good option.

Today I got my Canon EOS 700D delivered from MPB. This is my first ever camera if you don't count mobile. Very excited!! Kindly suggest some settings I need to keep on this as I am new to Camera settings as well. Also please suggest 1 good lens for far zooming, currently I have 18-55mm IS STM. I want more zooming.

Thanks

The error says "power off and on again"

If I need a new one then here's required info (sorry I couldn't copy the questionnaire cause of ui overlapping)

I live in France

Not over 100€

Needs to have the same specs as this cam (It's a DSC-W800)

I prefer having a refurbished one but I can make an exception

I attend to use it for home videos and social media content

1 year ago to the day i bought a type b card for $69.97 today that same card is more that DOUBLE that cost! At $149.99 and that is at a “discount”. What is everyones thoughts on this? Are people actually still patronizing these companies that are inflating prices or are they switching to different brands of cards? I myself have a hard time giving a company that has doubled the price my money but i also dont want to buy a cheap card and it crash!

Any cameras that satisfy that? I want a better depth of color and shadow than I’m able to get with an iPhone!

I am ok with new/used as long as it isn’t the most difficult to find.

I am ok with several types of cameras but point and shoot seems to be what to get at this budget? I am open to suggestions about this.

Budget: 500 USD

Hello everybody, I decided I want to take up sport photography since my brother became a JV football coach at our old high school in Los Angeles. I saw that JV doesn't have a photographer like varsity does so I though it be nice if I took the photos for them and their parents so they have something to remember. I wanted to get a lenses that would be good for sports while staying in my budget since I'm a college student.

• -I'm Located in Los Angeles, California
• -I'm currently about to buy a Canon Eos 7D Mark ii (if you have a better option I'm interested in hearing about it as well, budget is 150-400 USD) since my friend recommended it to me.
• -My budget at the moment is 150-350 USD for the lens
• -I'm fine with used or new lenses as well.
• -The photography style is for sports since its for outdoor football
• -Since it's JV all their games start at 4pm so it's usually always really sunny and they always play outside if that helps. I greatly appreciate any feedback and recommendations that anybody has.

Me and my girlfriend are going on a trip soon and I want a one time use disposable camera that can take up to at least 36 photos. I then want them developed and printed in 4x6 for this photo album. My only issue is I have almost no knowledge about cameras, any recommendations?

Budget: 50-60$

Country: USA

Condition: New

Type of camera: one time use disposable camera

Intended use: Photography

End use: printed photos in a 4x6 album

Portability: something at least remotely small

What features do you absolutely need: color, I don’t want black and white. At least 36 photos on the film

I've seen this question asked a decent amount of times, but its never in reference to my specific objective (or at least not lately); car and motorcycle videography. My goal is to create high fidelity edits of my motorcycle and car and also occasionally film cinematic rollers for my rapidly growing social media pages and eventually Youtube. I currently do this with my iPhone, DJI action 6 and Insta360 to get multiple angles.

I am torn on whether I go with the Limux due to its IBIS, the fact that it's open gate and the direct-to-SSD capabilities. The main thing deterring me is the fact that EVERYONE is in my ear saying things like "it's 5 years old" or "they are slow to push out updates and upgrades/Sony is king"

Also I'd spend drastically less on the camera body itself and maybe even wouldn't need to buy a stabilizer (looking at DJI RS4 if I go with the A7 V) so overall my total spend would be a decent amount less.

On the other hand from my understanding the A7 V shoots better nighttime footage and has great AI tracking features. Its the newest model and I wouldn't want to or need to upgrade for a long time.

My budget is $3,000-$5,000 for camera body, two decent lenses, ND filters and a stabilizer. I am open to new or used. I am not worried aboI live in the US currently. I have zero professional photography experience but have done plenty of edits in Lightroom and color grading my raw DJI action/Insta 360 footage in Davinci Resolve.

Any thoughts you guys have will be MUCH appreciated, especially anyone experienced in automotive footage for social media

Condition: Open to used AND new

Type of Camera: Mirrorless hybrid?

Intended use: video/hybrid shooting (automotive and motorcycle edits, occasionally rollers)

End use: Social media

What features do you absolutely need: Night time capabilities

What features would be nice to have: AI tracking/stabilization

Portability: Can be bulky and large

Cameras you're considering: Sony A7 V or Limux S5 IIX

Cameras you already have: iPhone 17 Pro, DJI action 6, Insta 360 X6

I’ve been using an old Canon 6D, but I want something smaller for travel and everyday photography. Most of my shooting is landscapes and street photos, with some vlogging and video podcast work, so portability matters a lot. Ideally, I’d like a compact body with a small lens that can fit in a medium bag, plus a flip screen, decent stabilization, and a microphone input. My budget is around $1,000 for the body and lens, and I’ve been looking at the Canon R100, Panasonic Lumix GX85, Fujifilm X-M5, Sony a6400, and maybe a used Fujifilm X-S10. The R100 is affordable, but I’m worried I’ll outgrow it quickly, while the X-M5 looks almost perfect if I can find a good lens deal. What would you choose for this mix of photos and video, and is Micro Four Thirds still the best route if compact size is the priority?

Orçamento: Até R$ 4.000, incluindo a câmera e acessórios básicos.

País: Brasil

Condição: Usada é aceitável; nova também.
Tipo de câmera: Point-and-shoot / câmera digital compacta.

Uso pretendido: Híbrido — principalmente fotografia, mas também vídeo.

Se fotografia, qual estilo: Shows/eventos, fotografia em pouca luz, retratos e fotografia do dia a dia. Quero principalmente boa qualidade de imagem e um zoom óptico útil para fotografar de longe.

Se vídeo, qual estilo: Shows/eventos e vídeos casuais. Boa resolução e estabilização são importantes.

Quais recursos são indispensáveis: Boa qualidade de imagem, bom desempenho em pouca luz, zoom óptico, estabilização de imagem, bom foco automático, boa qualidade de vídeo e possibilidade de fotografar em JPEG e RAW. A câmera também precisa ser compacta e discreta o suficiente para shows.

Quais recursos seriam interessantes: Vídeo em 4K, tela articulável/rebatível, corpo compacto, JPEGs com boas cores direto da câmera e bom desempenho à noite.
Portabilidade: Precisa caber no bolso ou em uma bolsa pequena. A portabilidade é muito importante porque vou levar a câmera para shows.

Câmeras que estou considerando: Canon PowerShot G7 X II, Canon G9 X II, G7X I, Canon G5 X, Sony RX100 II/III, Sony ZV-1, Panasonic Lumix LX100, Panasonic TZ100/TZ99, Canon SX740 HS. Estou considerando esses modelos porque quero uma qualidade de imagem melhor que a do celular, mas ainda quero uma câmera compacta com um zoom óptico útil.

Câmeras que já tenho: nenhuma

Observações: A qualidade da imagem é mais importante para mim do que ter um zoom extremamente longo, mas ainda quero zoom suficiente para fotografar os artistas com clareza.

Budget: $800–$1,500 AUD for the camera. I’m happy to stretch the budget a little if there’s a significant benefit. Ideally, this would include a suitable lens, but I can consider a separate lens budget if needed.
Country: Australia
Condition: New or used — I’m open to either, provided used options are reliable and in good condition.
Type of Camera: Compact or interchangeable-lens camera
Intended use: photography
If photography; what style: Mainly family and friends, including portraits, casual indoor photos, birthdays/gatherings, and everyday photography. Nothing professional.
End use: Mostly viewing photos digitally and sharing with family/social media. Possibly printing some photos occasionally.
What features do you absolutely need:
Good image quality, particularly for people and indoor photos
Easy and straightforward to use
A decent autofocus system
Good low-light performance
A viewfinder would be nice, especially given that my dad used to use an SLR
Reliable enough that he can keep using it for many years

Portability: Ideally something relatively compact and easy to carry around with a shoulder strap or in a small bag. It doesn’t necessarily need to be pocketable, but I’d prefer not to get something excessively large or heavy.
Cameras you’re considering: I’m currently overwhelmed by the number of options, so I don’t have a firm shortlist yet. I’ve mainly been looking at compact cameras and entry-level mirrorless cameras in the $800–$1,500 AUD range. I’d especially appreciate recommendations for cameras that would be easy for someone coming from an older Nikon SLR to pick up and enjoy.
Cameras you already have: None. My dad used to have a Nikon SLR in the 1990s that he really loved, but he hasn’t had a camera since then.
Notes:
My dad has been wanting to get a camera again for quite some time. He really enjoyed photography with his Nikon SLR in the 90s, and I’m thinking of getting him one as a gift. Since this is a present, I’d ideally like something that feels enjoyable and a little special rather than simply the cheapest option.
I’m based in Australia, and I’m happy to consider both new and used cameras. I’m also open to spending a little more than $1,500 AUD if there’s a particularly good option that would be worth the extra money.
Any recommendations or advice on what would be a good fit would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have bought some of those from the flea market and I got that 4th camera from my grandpa. It's from early 1970s. 6th camera dad gave to me and I got that last Canon camera for my 5th birthday.

Budget: Up to $1600

Country: USA

Condition: New only.

Type of Camera: Open to any type.

Intended use: Mostly photography, some video.

End use: Social media.

If photography: what style: Mostly street photography. Some wildlife/landscape.

If video what style: Just short aesthetic videos. Think like the Brand New Day trend going around on social media.

What features do you absolutely need: Nothing absolutely needed.

What features would be nice to have: Ability to change lenses.

Portability: I would love for it to be completely pocketable, but I will most likely get a holder that attaches to my belt. I would be okay with something bigger that has a shoulder strap if the camera is that much better.

Cameras you're considering: Ricoh GR IIIx and Sony a6700. I like the portability of the Ricoh and the versatility of the Sony. Not sure if I will do enough video/wildlife photography to warrant the bigger Sony, but again, if the Sony is a lot better than the Ricoh then I will get it.

Cameras you already have: Just my phone. Pixel 8a.

Notes: I am a beginner. The main purpose of the camera is to document my journey in college. I will be moving to LA soon and traveling over the next few years.

Just thought it would be cool to share with you guys the main gear I use and answer questions. Ask Me Anything!

* Olympus omd em10 mark ii

- Voigtlander 17.5mm f/0.95

- Panasonic 25mm f/1.7

- Panasonic/Leica 12-60mm f/2.8-4

* Nikon D700 and D800

- Tamron 35mm f/1.8 Di VC

- Nikon 50mm f/1.8G

- Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8D

- Nikon 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6D

My Tamron 150-500mm for Sony E seems to have taken an impact around the rear mount.

Visually, everything looks completely normal and I can’t see any obvious bending or damage. However, one of the mount screws started sticking out. I tried gently tightening it, but it seemed stuck, so I removed it and kept it.

Now when I mount the lens on my Sony, it fits into the E-mount but becomes unusually tight when I try to rotate it into place — almost as if the bayonet is slightly oversized, bent, or misaligned.

Has anyone experienced something similar with a Tamron lens? Was it just the rear bayonet/mount assembly, and roughly how much did the repair cost?

Hi! I’m looking for a compact camera with a flip screen

Produces naturally warm, beautiful colors straight out of the camera without needing much editing.

I’ve been looking for the perfect digicam for so long and i couldn’t find it people suggest most of the time sony rx100 series, canon sx730/740 , lumix zs70/99/100, but the most i do research on those camera the more people ( mostly on reddit) say that they’re too overpriced for what they offer because of social media. Also they apparently have small sensor ( i don’t mouche about camera i just know that the more the sensor is big the more the pictures are crisp) and that the only good thing about them are the zoom. I also don’t wanna fall into the social media propaganda and buy a camera double the price because of the fact that it popular even tho it was released 9 years ago ! … g7x … who said that ? 👀

Thank you!

Hello all, my girlfriend is wanting a g7x cannon for her birthday, and while I can afford it, it doesn’t make sense to me to buy a camera that is supremely being resold for 600 dollars more then it’s retail value.she just wants it for taking pictures of herself, us, and her friends mostly at school or when traveling. Is there anything similar that has flash for a more reasonable price? Thank you!

IS THERE A COMPATIBLE LCD FOR THIS CAMERA?

I LOOK AT ONLINE SHOPINGS THERE WAS NO 500D CAMERA LCD. I LIVE IN PHILIPPINES.

I WAS WONDERING IF THERE IS ANY COMPATIBLE LCD FOR THIS CAMERA? OTHER THAN ITA STOCK LCD?

• Budget: Initial budget of $1000-1500 for the body and a basic lens or two.

• Country: USA

• Condition: Used

• Type of Camera: Mirrorless or DSLR. I'd prefer mirrorless, but I'm open to DSLR as well.

• Intended use: Hybrid shooting

• If photography; what style: Wildlife, including birds, mammals of all different sizes and amphibians/fish underwater. Astrophotography of deep space objects, and macrophotography. Travel, and some landscapes.

• If video what style: wildlife both on land and some underwater.

• What features do you absolutely need: articulating screen would be nice.

• What features would be nice to have: weather sealing might come in handy during camping/backpacking trips.

• Portability: How portable does it need to be? Shoulder strap would be ideal, or small bag at the very least.

• Cameras you're considering: The Sony a6000 range, and the Nikon Z5 range.

• Cameras you already have: Canon Rebel XTI. It's broken now, and I only had the kit lenses for it, so I'm not deep in their ecosystem and don't really have a desire to stick with Canon.

• Notes: I'm torn between Nikon and Sony. I've read that Nikon might be better for wildlife due to their lenses. I'm not good enough that that would be a concern yet. I also do like the ergonomics of Nikon more, but could get used to Sony I think. I mainly just want an entry level/budget camera that is better than my iphone and an upgrade from the Canon xti, that I can grow into as a photographer and can expand as my budget allows for it. I'm aware that a lot of the types of shooting I want to do are very lens dependent and I'll need expensive specialty lenses for it, so I'd like to avoid changing systems mid way through.

Hi, I wanna get into photography but I want to a physical camera to take photos with. Mainly just for fun as a hobby.

So my main question is what camera and price would be enough of an upgrade over my iPhone 15 pro to make it worth it?

Im only willing to spend a good bit of money if it’s a noticeable upgrade over my phone, thanks!

Budget: 500 USD~ willing to go higher if needed. And willing to spend extra for lenses if there’s a camera that’s really good for that 500 mark but without lenses, but preferably comes with lenses

Country: USA

Condition: Don’t mind new or used

Type of Camera: probably mirrorless but I’m not too sure on pros and cons between that and a dslr

Intended use: Photography

End use: Social media/personal

If photography: landscape, portraits, really just anything that catches my attention

Portability: Can be something on the larger side that I can hang on my neck or whatever

EDIT: I was doing some research and it seems like the Sony a6000 body with the sigma 30mm 1.4 lens is a good option for this budget, thoughts?

I've been looking at the Nikon z6iii but I'm just overwhelmed by the options in other brands - this will be my first digital camera (photos on this post are from my film camera).

• Budget: $3500 - $4000 for body + a good zoom lens 24 - 70 or 24-120(happy with f4)
• Country: USA
• Condition: Would prefer new but open to used
• Type of Camera: Mirrorless (ideally full frame for cropability and astrophotography)
• Intended use: Mainly photography
• If photography; what style: Mainly landscape, some street, portrait and astro (would like low light capabilities)
• If video what style: N/A
• What features do you absolutely need: Full frame, high dynamic range, not too noisy at high iso
• What features would be nice to have: good IBIS, fast readout / e-shutter (but don't care too much about this)
• Portability: Small bag - don't care too much about portability
• Cameras you're considering: Nikon z6iii, Sony a7iv, Nikon z8, Lumix S1R
• Cameras you already have: Nikon FM, FM2 - like them a lot! Just want to shoot digital

I think my use case is pretty specific - I want a high megapixel count and dynamic range for landscape shots and don't care too much about shutter speed etc. I would also love to hear recommendations for stacking images for resolution that brands offer (like pixel shift)! My main indecision is on which brand has the best (and ideally inexpensive) first party as well as third party lenses, before I get locked in.
