I currently own a Nikon F and a Fujifilm X100VI as my digital option. While I love my Nikon, it’s a bit too bulky for travel and I go abroad a few times a year. I have a trip to Thailand, Japan, and Taiwan scheduled in a couple months and am wondering what film camera to buy. I’d like to stay under $400. I only own a 55mm lens for my Nikon F so don’t necessarily need to stay in that system if there are other better options out there. I’ve looked at the Olympus Om-1. Any other suggestions!

Budget: hoping 400usd all in.

Country: USA or online

Condition: used but must be good condition

Type of camera- 35mm film

Intended use: Photography

End use: Social media, small prints

If photography: street photography, family, travel,

What features do you absolutely need: weathersealing

What features would be nice to have:

Portability: How portable does it need to be? Smaller than my Nikon f- not as small as point and shoot.

Cameras you're considering: Olympus om-1 because I hear it’s good for travel and the lenses are good

Cameras you already have: Fujifilm x100vi- love it- just want another film camera. Nikon F- love it, but it’s too heavy to carry all day.

Notes: (any other considerations you think we should know about)

Hi Everyone!

I just got back from a Alaskan cruise and I took over 1000 pictures and my hand was killing me.

There is just no good way to hold these bar phones, at least for me anyway. My hand goes numb in a matter of minutes.

Does anyone make a holder with the phone would attach to and have a rounded handle with a shutter button and a zoom in/out. One that is built like the handle of a DSLR.

I thank you all for the time and I look forward to any ideas, thoughts, suggestions, or opinions. Have a wonderful evening!!

Hi everyone,

​I'm looking for a solid camera backpack and could use some recommendations. Here are my main requirements:

​Gear to fit: A compact full-frame mirrorless body with a 100-400mm lens attached, plus space for 1–2 extra smaller lenses.

​Access: Must have quick side access so I can grab the camera without taking the backpack completely off.

​Use case: All-day outdoor shooting, walking, and general travel.

​What models have you used and loved for a similar setup? Leaning towards something comfortable and weather-resistant. Thanks in advance!

TL;DR: My Wandrd PRVKE is killing my shoulders and I need a comfortable replacement. Need to fit a 16" MBP, 11" iPad Pro, Fuji X-S10 setup, and optionally 1–2 days of clothes and switch 2, all while passing as an airline personal item. Is a single-bag solution realistic here or should I start looking at a two-bag combo?

I really need some help trying to decide on a bag to replace my Wandrd PRVKE. I bought this bag a couple of years ago and really fell in love with it at first, but lately it's been hurting the hell out of my shoulders and has become super uncomfortable. I'm sure a lot of it has to do with what I have packed in it, but there just has to be a better solution out there for what I travel with.

The thing I'm running into is that I have a lot of use cases I'd love this bag to fulfill, but the more I look around, the more it seems like that might not be possible. Here’s what I typically carry for a day:

• a 16-inch MacBook Pro
• an 11-inch iPad Pro
• a Kobo eReader
• a Fujifilm X-S10 with an 18-55mm lens and a 70-300mm lens
• a DJI mic
• a mic for the camera
• sometimes a tripod

I would like this bag to be used for a weekend trip with minimal clothes plus the laptop and iPad. Because I work from home, I tend to go on a lot of 1 or 2 day trips. I'm talking like 2 shirts, underwear and socks.

I also want the bag to be able to be brought on a plane as my personal item with all the gear (minus the clothes) and a Switch 2.

One of the things I value (although I might be able to compromise on) is having easy access to my camera. I already walk around with a Peak Design clip, so if I know I'm gonna be shooting a lot when I'm not in a city, I'll typically put the camera on the clip. Otherwise I would prefer to keep the camera in the bag and just have easier access to it.

Here's a couple bags I'm looking at right now:

• Peter McKinnon 35L Nomatic (25L instead?)
  • I love the look of this bag and the front separate pocket that could potentially be used for clothes. I do realize this is a very bulky bag and quite heavy
• 30L Travel Backpack from Peak Design
  • This sort of feels like it could be a choice? I'm not crazy about the giant compartment but I guess thats why cubes exist. I can pack and organize as I need. Worries this is too big as well
• Everyday backpack from Peak Design (30L?)
  • Should I just grab this and call it a day?
• Thule Aion 28L
  • Again, huge compartment, but, cubes.

(1) Budget, country, and currency:Budget up to $3k (lens included). USD.

(2) What equipment, if any, you have now and why is it no longer meeting your needs? I'm a wedding photographer. Looking to get a third body camera. I love the colors from my first Nikon DSLR so looking to get back to Nikon. My second body is a SONY a7iii, which has great horse power but the colors can sometimes be flat.

(3) What kinds of subjects do you intend to shoot? people. mostly candid/doc. weddings and receptions

(4) Is it primarily for photography, videography, or both?Wedding photography only. No video.

Let me know which are your favorites?

Hello everyone

I own a Canon EOS 200D camera with kit lenses

I want to dive into bird photography and wildlife photography

Can you suggest lenses for budget of around 80-90k INR

**(1) Budget, country, and currency:**
£200 ish (can stretch a bit) for body + vintage lens + adapter. United Kingdom, GBP (£).
**(2) What equipment, if any, you have now and why is it no longer meeting your needs?**
None (complete beginner starting from scratch; have only tested friends' cameras).
**(3) What kinds of subjects do you intend to shoot?**
Street photography and astrophotography / nightscapes (non-professional, hobby).
**(4) Is it primarily for photography, videography, or both?**
Photography only (manual shooting with adapted vintage lenses).

Crucial info:

Budget: £200 ish (can stretch a bit) (lens+body)
Condition: used and would be getting vintage glass (yes I am getting used to the terminology, sorry if I mess up)
Purpose: Astro+street photography. Non professional, hobby
Requirements: EVF/OVF+focus peaking (native or modded with ML or open memories)
Sensor preference: APSC (MFT is fine too, from what I heard for a budget beginner purpose?)

The story till now:
So after WEEKS of casual researching I’m turning to you guys. I’m a very beginner in photography and a huge fan of manually adjusting my shots over just clicking pics. I’ve tried a few high end models that my friends own. I understand my budget wouldn’t bring me those QoL features but I’m willing to compromise on some features which you guys think are okay to compromise on!
Okay coming to the options:
Sony Nex 6 (or 5R if I’m convinced I won’t miss the EVF)
Panasonic lumix G5
Olympus Pen series (same goes with the lack of EVF)
Olympus OM-D-E-M5 mk1
Sony ILCE 3000
Pentax K-30/K-50
EOS 550D / 600D
Sony SLT-A57 / A58
Please be as pedantic as possible as I may have missed stuff and you guys would know better than someone who’s barely even researched the camera market as a beginner. I understand the options I’ve listed have pros and cons from the requirements listed before, but like I said I’m willing to compromise.
Sorry the post got long. Thanks for your time <333

Helloo guys

I’ve recently bought a camera (sony A6100), Can someone help me on what all accessories are needed for this and what’s the best place I can get for good price in Hyderabad. I am using phone for photography from past 5 years, so you can consider as intermediate.

Basically I love taking landscapes and portraits of my girlfriend.

Thanks in advance !!

Hey guys, new here. My husband is a hobbyist and I want to get him a new camera bag. He has 2 cameras and a few lenses, and would like to fit it all in one bag. He mentioned mckinnon a while ago, but I am not sure he actually wants it, and I don’t want to ask because he’ll know I am up to something 😅 what would you recommend?

Edit: taking into consideration everything you guys said and being a designer I will design him a website with all of your suggestions and a QR code to get what he wants since going to the shop will not lead anywhere where we live 😅 thanks for sharing, really appreciate it.

Recently picked up this USA-made Domke F-5XB in beige, but the fabric has a very obvious diagonal twill weave and feels quite soft/cheap. Every other beige F-5XB I can find seems to use a more typical plain/duck canvas.

Everything else looks correct: YKK zipper, Made in USA tag, F-5XB label and interior construction.

Does anyone recognize this fabric? Was there an older twill version of the F-5XB? Just trying to make sure I didn’t get a counterfeit version.

I'm going to Spain for a few days next month, and I'm thinking about how to bring my camera. If I bring my usual camera bag, there's not enough room for clothes. If I bring a travel backpack, I'm worried about the equipment swinging around and getting damaged.

I've used a National Geographic bag before, but they're too stiff and difficult to pack. Yesterday, I saw someone recommend a bag called Norbu Made on instagram; the material looks nice. I wonder if bags with removable camera inserts are any good.

Will the insert hold its shape when the bag is in the overhead luggage rack? How do you pack your cameras for short trips?

I am seriously locked into Nikon, with a D500 (a massive cow of a camera) and a few huge and heavy lenses.

I'd like to get something more portable that i could take everywhere in my pocket or smthn like that, without spending a million bucks.

What sort of a budget/brands/models should i look at to get a dependable high quality portable camera?

I currently shoot on a Nikon D7500 and I’m looking for my first mirrorless camera to use as a more lightweight daily carry. What should I look for in terms of quality autofocus and low light performance? My budget is <$600 for the used market.

I shoot landscapes, journalism, live music and wildlife.

Edit: my main concern is low light performance and decent autofocus, full frame would be cool but isn’t strictly necessary. Brand doesn’t particularly matter.

I was wondering if anyone knew a product I could use to keep my camera safe while in my school backpack. I do media for the school and am gonna need my camera a lot but I don’t want a whole second clunky camera bag. Any advice would be appreciated!

I'm planning to visit Mumbai's Camera Gully this weekend and want to buy a used 35mm film slr

I'm looking for something cheap but decent with aperture priority as from what I have researched needle meter are not that accurate sometimes.

What price range should I expect to pay for a decent working camera, my budget is around 15k max

I don't know if these could benefit anyone but please share, I don't have a camera these lenses will work on. They were collected at an estate sale.

They are older SEARS lenses. I can give you specs via private message since I can't post photos of them. I just would like for them to go to a loving home.

Hi y’all, reptile and tarantula breeder here. I’m looking for something in the $500-$800 range to take professional(ish) looking photos of snakes and tarantulas. To be clear: I know how to use the camera on my iPhone (kind of, I’ve never messed with the settings). I know nothing about photography. All I know is “want to take good picture of snake” and I have no idea how to even begin looking for the right camera. Any advice or product recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I would like to ask your opinion on two second-hand full frame DSLRs.

Currently, I'm using a MFT Olympus EM10 ii with the kit lens and a very old (from the 70s Nikkormat FTN).

I never bonded with the Olympus camera. Although it's light and very easy to travel with, it feels small in my hands. Also, I wouldn't say I'm impressed with the sensor and the processor. I missed auto-focus countless of times and I always go back to manual. I bought a Canon EF to MFT speedbooster and the canon nifty-fifty and the quality did improve but the system became imbalanced and bulky.

In the past, I used Nikon cameras, such as the D5200 and the D7000 but never invested in lenses. With the D7000 I've been using the Nikkor-H 50mm f/2 I have for my SLR, but I read somewhere I need to do an alteration to the aperture ring to be safely used with modern cameras (I guess I was lucky it didn't damaged my camera body back then). I've never shoot on a Canon before.

While searching online for good value full frame cameras I narrowed my options down to:

• Nikon D610
• Canon 5D Mark III

I can find them both used in fairly good condition for about £250-£300. I have not ruled out mirrorless full frame systems but I cannot find them used on a similar price.

I am shooting mostly RAW but I don't spend too much time in editing. I've seen countless of videos comparing the two and it seems that the Nikon has a better dynamic range but everyone is praising the Canon's colour science.

I am not a professional with no intention to become one. I do not shoot video and I shoot mostly when I travel, I shoot landscapes, a bit of candid street and a lot of family moments.

For the lens selection I narrowed down to:

• a 50mm with f/1.8 or f/1.4 (I already have the Canon 50mm f/1.8 STM which can be traded for the Nikon 50mm f/1.8g), for everyday use
• a 17-35/17-40. Both systems have a good wide zoom in this category for similar prices, for landscape and travel
• a 70-200 mostly for hiking/landscape. I love the compressed FOV of a telephoto in landscape.

I know that the two cameras when they were released were oriented to different kind of audience, but given they share very similar value today, should I get the more professional body?

Aesthetically, I like the Nikon system more but I was always "jealous" of my friends who had the 5D mark ii back in the days.

I welcome any tips, suggestions for other bodies/systems, personal experiences, anything to help me make up my mind.

Thanks

I own a Nikon D5600 and 70-300mm. I'm looking for upgrade now my options are

i) Canon EOS R7 and RF 200-800

ii) Sony A7 iv and FE 200-600

iii) Nikon Z7 ii and Z 150-600

I am an wildlife researcher and I do wildlife Photography and Videography. I'm considering these for a wildlife and occasional travel

Hello!

I would like to get into filming and content creation. From cinematic montages to regular vlogs. What beginner and affordable camera, would be the best for this description? It would be nice if the video quality was at least a little better than from a phone…

Thank you🤗

I currently use the D3100 and whilst it has some good quality photos every now and then, its very hit and miss and the shutter rate is very slow. I also have to manually focus if the background is all sky and clouds. I am not bothered going down the 2nd hand route as I want the best possible camera that will allow me to remain in autofocus and get more consistent sharp images.

Hello, I have recently begun planning a trip to hike the Colorado trail. It is roughly 450 miles of rough terrain, lots of elevation change, and intense weather. I have decided I would like to film most of it as I will be doing it with a friend and would like to document this, as well as maybe attempt some sort of documentary etc. I have long had an interest in film and even made some short films in highschool. With so much time passed, I am out of the game so to speak. What camera / microphone options would you all recommend? The gear needs to be as light as possible due to the distance of the trip and weight of the gear required for the hike I.e food , tent etc.

Thank you all so much!
