Welcome to r/Cameras

Hi all friends.

​

I recently purchased a ZV-E10 camera and it's my first camera (don't count the big TV ones at work). And I realize that for my needs I need 1-2 good lenses. My budget is not super big right now and I would be grateful if you will offer more or less for a normal price lenses.

​

From my needs:

​

1-Handheld filming (very rarely steady camera).

2-Zoom shooting without much loss of quality.

3-Would like to film sometimes on a wider frame.

4-Very often from video to switch for photos.

​

​

That's it). I will be very grateful for any help)

​

P.S. I do not need macro or micro filming or something straight for super highskill operators (I'm still just a beginner).

Does anyone know any stores or flea markets in the city that sell nice 2nd hand cameras

So I’m looking to buy a camera that does both record videos and take high quality pictures. Price right now doesn’t matter too much as I’m saving up. I just want to know what options are out there. Brand wise I’m looking towards a Sony camera/cannon. I thought I’d come to this sub to get a range of recommendations.

Hey! Guys I’m upgrading from my Canon M50, and I need a film camera that can shoot short films, has solid AF, and performs well in low light! 

Thank you!

Hi I am looking for some recommendations for a smaller fixed lens film range finder. I own an Olympis 35 RC but unfortunately it has broken down in the last few weeks and I am hoping to look for a replacement.

Ideally, it would be a range finder with a lot of good manual control and a decently sharp lens. I like the lens on the 35 RC but I definitely want something a little bit sharper (I may have been a bit spoiled by my super takumar 50 mm).

The 2 cameras I have looked into so far are the 35 SP and Rollei 35. I love the SP's form factor, manual control and its spot meter but I do feel like its lens, while an improvement, is a bit too similar to the RC. Rollei 35's lens is really lovely but I don't like the lack of a proper range finder and the compact design make accessing to certain setting a bit tricky.

I know there are probably other cameras out there that would fit my need so I really would like some recommendations.

Thanks!!

Hey all, my aunt gifted a bunch of cool old cameras and filters to me recently. I came across this camera flash and now I'm stumped. I can't find anything other than a different flash with a similar box. I was hoping maybe someone on here knows more about this company and specifically this flash. Thank you!

Should I keep my Fuji film x-s10 with sigma 16mm f1.4 or trade someone for a Sony a7rii with a 28-70 f3.5-5.6 and 50mm f1.8 I mainly want to start a photography business doing portraits and wanna do street photography and car photography I barely do video but wouldn’t cross it off I might dabble in cinematography or videography I wanna see what’s the best option I also cant can’t buy anymore lenses and so that’s why I was considering the a7rii since it has a 50mm and zoom lens but the x-s10 has only a 16mm but the x-s10 is newer

Found an old Sony cyber-shot that has a ton of old family photos on it, and I wanted to put it on a harddrive on my laptop. Problem is the SD card doesn’t fit, and I can’t seem to find cables to connect it to my laptop. Any ideas what cables go to these holes, or what will help fix my problem?

Hi all! Getting back into photography (only used point and shoots before) and am getting a birthday present camera. About 98% sold on a Canon EOS R50. The downside is obviously the lenses. Would you recommend the kit lenses (RF-S18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM & RF-S55-210mm F5-7.1 IS STM) or the EF to EOS adaptor and some used EF lenses?
Will be used for documenting life, travel, nature type items. Not intending to go pro or anything like that just want something better than my phone.

Hello all! the title basically sums it up. Im just wondering if i should trade in my xt200 for any of the sony cameras listed. My use case is prolly more on casual photography and maybe some video recording. Im not really satisfied with the xt200 that im currently using as the battery life somewhat runs out quickly, kinda bulky and the lens selection seems limited and quite expensive. Im the type of person who cant really be bothered to edit pictures so i just use what comes out.

im thinking of trading it in for a Zv-E10 but im not sure if its worth the trade or what the value of the cameras will be.

im open to any recommendations or opinions lmk!

Looking for a digital camera that has the same effect as the canon, as it’s so old I can’t find it anywhere. Is there anything similar or a place I could find this cam?

Thanks!

I am going to South Africa on safari with my uni. I have never owned a camera and am looking for something on the cheaper side, as I'm a uni stufent but will take good photos and needs a decent zoom. Would use it after safari just need some advice.

Hello,

I am doing some spring cleaning and found my wife’s canon power shot sx620 HS (rose gold) in our closet. We only used it for one trip to Scotland and that was it. We want to sell it and I saw on eBay that they were going for a good amount of money. Does anyone know the market value for these cameras? Just want to get a good price for it once I put it up for sale.

TIA!

Overview: I’m an amateur, looking for a camera that can do a little bit of everything. My current plan is to buy either the M50 or the M50 Mark II. I’ve seen them both on ebay for about $450. Before I buy, I want to see if there’s anything else I should consider.

Mainly, I’ll be taking photos of friends and family on vacations. Occasionally, I’ll take pictures of birds, as well as the stars and Milky Way.

Budget: I’m willing to spend up to $1,000 for a used camera body. Obviously, before I buy something more expensive, I’ll want to know what it provides that I won’t get from the M50.

Lenses: I’m definitely going to buy a 50mm prime lens for general use. I’ll also buy a telephoto zoom lens (maybe 55-200mm) for wildlife. I might also buy a wide-angle prime lens for astrophotography (maybe 12mm F/2.8).

I’m a little nervous about buying into a lens ecosystem that has been discontinued. However, I think that if the market for used EF-M lenses dries up, I can buy an adapter and start using EF lenses.

The Sony A6100 looks like a great camera, and is similar in price to the M50, but all of the used E-mount lenses that I’ve found are very expensive.

Sensor Size: I am mainly looking at APS sensors, but I could be convinced to go larger or smaller. I am intrigued by the idea that micro 4/3 has interchangeable lenses across brands, but I can’t tell if that lens selection is any better than the EF-M lens ecosystem.

Articulating LCD: I don’t know how often I’ll use this, but it seems like a slight positive. It would certainly help with self portraits.

Charging: I want something that can be charged via USB. I think that the M50 has that, but I know that some Canon cameras do not.

Wireless connectivity: It seems like every camera has bluetooth and wifi. Are some cameras more user-friendly than others when it comes to uploading photos to a phone?

Video: I don’t have any specific plans to record video. Any reasonably good camera should meet my video needs.

Sports: When I have a child, I’ll take photos of whatever sport my child plays. I don’t think I’ll need any “sports photography” features, like a large buffer or a high burst speed; I just plan on buying a telephoto lens with a wide aperture. The M50 seems to have good autofocus, and every camera is capable of fast shutter speeds.

I need a camera that I can use for streaming but I have a budget of $500, what is a good camera that won't give me bad quality and gives me a reasonable output. We're gonna be using it for church service

Hello!

I am looking to get a camera to take some nice modeling and scenery photos that are better than iphone quality. I would also like to shoot activity videos (running, hiking, and lifestyle) and possibly vlogs in the future. I want to post much of my content on instagram and tiktok. I’m not looking to spend too much and it seems that a lot of “beginner” cameras reach the $600-$800 range. Is there anything that I can get that can shoot me some nice photos and videos?

Thank you!

Best

Hi everyone, i wanted to upgrade my camera and i was looking for these two options sony A6400 and A6500. Both of these models are in my budget. I am very confused which one is better. I love doing wildlife and bird photography and videos. Can anyone help me with this, i know A6400 doesn’t have any image stabilisation in body. Does it make any difference for me over other model.

I customized my Lumix FT-1 compact camera with a laser engraver to create this pattern. What do you think??

I'm looking for a new compact camera to customize. It has to be very quirky or eye-catching :)

Do you have any recommendations?

Specifications:

• Minimal of 5x zoom
• Preferably a CDD sensor (older sensor)
• Pocket-able, ultra compact

Hi,I decided to venture into the world of photography,but I’m unsure about which first camera I should buy. I’ve read the guides available in this channel and I think I might go for a mirrorless camera since it’s lighter. I’ll go on a trip to Japan in the summer and I’d like a good but not overly complicated camera to take nice landscape and “nature” photos mainly,but possibly also focusing on city photography. Here’s a list of things I’d like for my camera:

-Price: 500/700€ (possibly including a basic lens kit)

-Purpose: mainly landscape,nature and city photography,but I might be interested in wildlife and astronomy photos as well (even if it’d be better to start with basic lenses first and then in the next years buy lenses for these niche types I guess)

-Weight and portability: one critical aspect is that it should be lightweight and portable,since I’ll mainly be using it for travel photography.

-Ergonomic: I have pretty big hands so a really small camera wouldn’t cut it I think. An overly large camera would not be ideal either though,as I said above.

Thanks in advance.

My proper camera was a Canon 650D. Before that I used to have a point and shoot but forgot the name unfortunately. How about you?
