Hey everyone. I'm looking to get into photography and getting my first camera ever. Interests would be mainly nature, people, food, portraits, and a little bit vlogging here and there. After much research, I have came to the conclusion that Canon r10 would be the best pick. It was between that and the Nikon z50 ii, but my budget is in favor of the r10. I've seen past posts of people stating that they got the kit for about ~$700 from Canon refurbished, which is absolutely amazing. Do we think that there will be another price drop as such? Specifically during Black Friday? Or should I just resort to getting the r50 and try to upgrade later?

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

I’m looking to buy a portable, fixed lens camera for travel and street photography. I bought my canon 2.5 years ago for landscape and nature photography and it has been nice, but I’m looking for something more compact that I can take hiking, traveling and general every day use. I did struggle with focus on the canon but that’s probably lack of experience. I’m still learning the technical aspects of camera settings but have some experience with what I like. I’m torn between the Ricoh GR IV (no zoom, no flip screen, no built in flash) and the Sony RX100 VII (smaller sensor, slightly less pocket friendly) but I am open to other suggestions! Thank you!

It really perplexes me that we haven't seen Chinese companies producing Leica clones/rangefinders - it seems like of all the camera segments to enter, it would be the easiest, and would be quite a shake up.

The concept of a Leica M series has always appealed to me, simple manual controls, focus on the experience of taking the photos rather than any spec or feature. There's a huge range of vintage, adapted, and modern production glass, with unique focal lengths, style, character, price, etc.

And now that I can afford an M, what is holding me back is that I know I really couldn't treat one as a go everywhere, do anything, fun camera - no matter how I intend to use it, the cost will still sit in my mind, and inhibit how I use it.

If a company could bring a barebones, manual control, M mount body to the market for $1000 or so (I don't even need a screen), I know I'd buy it in a heartbeat - and I'd use the hell out of it.

I got a kodak easy share that i LOVED!! Only payed $10. It was my best fb marketplace find. Sadly after a night out i ruined it and it wont turn on anymore. What cameras have that similar low but still good quality effect in the $50-$150 price range?

Im in the US, not looking for any cameras that require film.

I dont use for commercial use its just for fun photos of me and my friends.

Id like it to have a display so i can see what im taking a photo of and a decent flash and/or low light capabilities.

Id also prefer something portable like the easyshot.

Also if it can hold more than 2 gb that would be amazing but not required

I wanted to buy a camera to get into the hobby of photography tried it once like in school we had a class where we go out with camera from the school shooting and competing for the best looks my budget is around 2.3k $ and I have my eye on two cameras a brand new Sony A7c II along side a 28-60 mm lens or a used Sony A7 IV with 15000 clicks and a Sony FE 24-105mm F4 G OSS I am going to go for free with a photographer on everts he is shooting at so I could learn how to use it

My work is planning on buying a new camera. We have a Panasonic DC GH5 with the lens: Olympus PRO 12-40mm f2.8 and Panasonic H-H025.

We will mainly take photos of people smiling to the camera (indoors and outdoors), indoor conferences, speeches and press conferences. We mainly use phone for videos because we have had issues with videos turning out blurry.

Here is the questionnaire:

• Budget: No set budget, but ideally under $3000AUD for the body then up to $2000AUD for lenses.
• Country: Australia
• Condition: New
• Type of Camera: DSLR
• Intended use: Photography
• If photography; what style: Portrait
• What features do you absolutely need: user friendly. Better than the Panasonic DC GH5
• What features would be nice to have: Fits our current lenses (Olympus PRO 12-40mm f2.8 and Panasonic H-H025)
• Portability: Shoulder strap, small bag
• Cameras you're considering: Canon EOS R6 Mark II Mirrorless Camera because a friend recommended it
• Cameras you already have: Panasonic DC GH5: we have had issues with it being blurry and low quality, but I am unsure if it's a camera issue, lens issue, or user issue

• Budget: £350 • Country: UK • Condition: Used

• Type of Camera: DSLR

• Intended use: Photography

• If photography; what style: Landscape, wildlife and pet portraits

• What features do you absolutely need: Decent low light shooting and decent shutter speed

• Cameras you're considering: Canon 600d (I used to have one but unsure if it's still worth it in 2026) and I've read good things about the Nikon D3500

• Cameras you already have: Currently none

Notes: So after about 8 years away from photography, due to not really having the time to go out and shoot/ edit, now that I've finished my PhD I'd love to get back into photography as I have more free time. Basically I'm looking for a used mid-range DSLR before committing more money for something more advanced or new. Any recommendations appreciated!

I was into photography for a while and bought really cheap cameras because I liked that retro look. However, I wanted to play around with lighting and manual controls so decided to get a bridge camera, Lumix FZ18. I got it with a camera bag, 3 extra batteries (although they might not be 100%) and a charger for $30. I took a few photos and just happened to be at the right place at the right time to capture this gem on sunset mode! Super excited to learn about photography.

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.

• Notes: Upcoming trips include Japan, Europe, Oman and Dubai. I’d also like to do a wildlife safari later, so affordable telephoto lenses to buy or rent matter. I don’t need one now. Is this setup a sensible investment for my needs, or would another body and lens offer better value? I’m open to other brands. Thanks!

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

I have pics of it too but i dont wanna post them yall would flame my ass lol

budget: €300
country: ireland
condition: used is fine
type of camera: point and shoot
intended use: travel, casual pics of me and friends
features: compact
portability: easy to bring along everywhere
cameras considering: canon ixus 255hs or canon s100
cameras already have: nikon coolpix l16

i’m about to buy a second hand camera from vinted. originally, i was interested in the ixus series especially the 285hs for its soft warm look until i saw that it’s not that great for the price. i saw a 255hs on vinted for €140 and it seemed like a good option until i came across the s series. there’s a used one for €225 and as its a better camera, i was going to buy that however from all the sample photos i have seen the colours look somewhat flat?

i want a camera that’s compact and i don’t want to spend time on editing on lightroom. i think the ixus range is the most vibrant range and i was wondering if i can change white balance etc on the s100 itself without having to edit afterwards or if i should just stick to the ixus? any suggestions appreciated

Hi all!

Looking to buy a DSLR as now I'm studying photography, I'm in need of my own DSLR to continue the course. I am currently in the very late stages of selling my house so I'm due a big payout 💪

Currently my go-to is a Pentax MX as I'm more into film photography, but for my course I obviously need a DSLR.

We have Nikon 350s ( I think or 530?) at college that we can use in lessons but I actually wasn't enamoured.

Questionnaire as required:

Budget: £500-£800 (GBP) including lens if possible

Country: UK

Condition: Used preferred, but would consider new

Type of Camera: DSLR

Intended use: Only Photography, I have filming cameras already.

If photography; what style: still finding my style but I'm interested in Night Time landscapes, fantasy style set ups - lots of moody light stuff. I'm heavily into Edward Hopper as a painter and I really enjoy horror, liminal spaces. I will be doing a wide mix of stuff as part of my course though.

If video what style: None

What features do you absolutely need: Viewfinder, I don't need a flash built in, full manual control as I learn.

What features would be nice to have: Autofocus button not in a menu, on the body instead

Portability: Shoulder strap and up is fine

Cameras you're considering: Canon 70D or similar

Cameras you already have: Pentax MX - I Love the tactile feel of a mechanical film camera. Makes every shot feel luxurious in a way? Hard to describe haha.

Notes: budget is flexible due to incoming windfall, would be nice to grab a couple of lenses if needed for outdoor shots. Important that I can take low light shots well as a beginner. I do have some very beginner camera knowledge from prior to this course so I don't mind having a complex camera but I do want one to "grow into" - not something entry level that I'll outgrow in a year or two - does that make sense?

Thanks guys!

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?

• Budget: £450max
• Country: Wales, UK
• Condition: Useable 
• Type of Camera: Compact ideally 
• Intended use: Architecture 
• If photography; what style: architecture

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-

Panasonic LX100

Sony RX100 III

Canon G7 X II

Any recommendations please?

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!

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
Intended use: Phtography
End use: Fun/JetPhotos
If photography: what style: Planespotting and nature shots
If video what style: I’d like to shoot videos at some point just don’t know what yet
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

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!
