Cheap camera recommendation for traveling

Budget: 200-300€ ls that enough?

Country: Germany / EU

Condition: used / refurbished

Type of camera: bridge?

Intended use: travel photography / (videos)

photography style: people, landscape, rollercoasters

Video style: not necessarily, but would be nice to have to take simple blog style videos

Features that would be nice to have: exchangeable battery, charging with usb c

portability: should fit in a backpack and should not take up too much space

Cameras im considering: Sony DSC-H300, Coolpix P500

Cameras I already have: iPhone 12 mini (1x optical zoom, dof exists, but not great)

Notes: I’m gonna be traveling with my girlfriend after graduation and think it would be a cool opportunity to learn basic photography. On one hand I want to be able to just take photos without a lot of fiddleing with the settings. On the other hand I also want to keep some creative freedom with things like dof and exposure time. I do not at all know what to look for in a camera.

Sigma 17-50 2.8 EX or Art?

Wanting to get the sigma 17-50 2.8 lens but don’t know whether to get the older EX version or the newer Art version. Is the Art lens much better or should I just save the money and get the EX? I will be buying the lens second hand.

I have canon 1500D and want to upgrade from the kit 18-55 3.5-5.6 iii lens.

Nikon s4300

Hi everyone! My nikon s4300 has been acting weird recently. It hasnt been turning on and when its plugged in, it doesnt have the blinking light that it used to have. The screen only turns on when the camera is plugged in, and you remove the battery from the camera. After removing the battery from the camera it will open and show “Battery is exhausted”. Ive tried everything even buying a new battery. While plugged in the yellow light does blink randomly once in a while but that it. Thanks everyone

Should I trash this tripod?

It’s an old Slik 35D tripod from late 80’s or early 90’s. I’m not sure if head comes off, it’s not particularly obvious how to remove and replace it.

Lenses recommendations (landscape) for beginners!!

Hello everyone!! I hope you're all having a great day!!

When i was 15 my parents gifted me a Canon EOS 1300D and I used to use this camera a lot in my teenage years. Now I'm 22 and I haven't touched it in a couple of years but I want to go back to photography, especially because I got a scholarship for studying in Japan for 5 months (I'm from Spain) and I really really really want to take nice pictures to make an album when I come back home. I've had a very hard life, tho my parents had even harder and this scholarship means a lot to us, I've never thought I would have this opportunity and I want to appreciate every second of it and try to be able to picture that experience into something more... tangible.

So I wanted to ask you guys for some lenses recommendations, I only have the default one that came with the camera but it's not enough because I want to take landscapes pictures and even some more detailed pictures as well, so I need something that has higher zoom (sorry, I don't know the technical words in English about photography).

Thank you so much!! 🫂❤️

Edit: my budget is pretty limited, max 150€, I don't care if I have to buy the lens second-hand tho but tips to keep in mind when buying secondhand will be Greatly appreciated!! hehe

is this bad? if so how to fix

i’ve had this camera for more than atleast 7 months with constant use in many different conditions, nothing touches the view finder except clean cloths so i’m not sure how this happens, viewfinder is still pretty clear (in a way i can see through it) however i’m not sure if this will get worse

Does anyone know if this is even any good?

Seen this on an ad on instagram. Wonder if anyone knows the original because it seems like another Dropshipping product. Is it even worth it for the original price whatever it is?

Sony NEX or Samsung NX?

My budget is around >$150 in the US and I’m looking for a decent mirrorless camera and not sure to pick the sony NEX line or Samsung NX line. I intend to use either of them for no serious kind of photography, just random photos of outdoors, inside the house, in the car. Features: built in flash, mic. I’m considering the Sony NEX-3. I already have some of the old Sony cybershots from the 2000’s and would like to try something new.

Did I ruin my Camera?

I took my Canon 70D out to film a short film with some friends in the snow, and stupidly didn’t worry about getting a rain cover for it. When I got home it worked fine for a couple hours letting me look back at the footage before suddenly the lcd screen began to flicker and go black. Any ideas what the next move should be. I’m not turning it on anymore, even tho I’ve turned it on a couple times already as I’m stairs to damage it further. It’s in a warm room drying right now. I’m more so confused about why the camera worked for a while before than deciding to freak out. Any ideas?

kodak pixpro fz55 wont turn on or charge

Hi I bought the kodak pixpro fz55 about 2 weeks ago and it was working fine until yesterday. The camera won't turn on anymore, so I tried to charge it but the camera won't charge as well? When I plug the charger into the camera the light indicator flashes green for a second but then turns off immediately. So there's no indicator that it's charging at all. I tried to leave it to charge for a few hours even though there was no green or orange light but the camera still won't turn on.

Polaroid camera with a vintage effect

Is there a polaroid camera that gives a vintage 90’s-esque effect to the photos?

I’ve gotten ads for tiny cameras that give this effect, but I was hoping for one like a polaroid.

Looking for suggestions for Camera for my Job

Hi everyone,

I currently work as a manager of a mountain guiding company based in Colorado, US where we specialize in taking clients climbing, mountaineering, ice climbing, backcountry skiing, and alpinism. Our business has been growing every year, and this year we decided to budget in a camera for the business.

  • Budget: Around $1500
  • Country: I am based in Denver, Colorado, USA
  • Condition: We are okay looking at used cameras.
  • Type of Camera: Not sure! We plan on using this camera to shoot some action shots of clients climbing, skiing, and mountaineering. The main landscapes will be in mountain ranges in different light settings. I would say I need something that can capture multiple images while focusing on my subject.
  • Intended use: A mix of both photography and video. We are starting a video podcast later in the year and would love to have both video and photography options.
  • If photography; what style: Mainly sports and landscapes!
  • If video what style: Podcasts, action sports.
  • What features do you absolutely need: weather sealing is big, but not mandatory.
  • Portability: Shoulder strap or small bag.
  • Cameras you're considering: Currently looking at the Canon R7, Sony S9 II.
  • Cameras you already have: The last camera I had was a Nikon, but this was 10 years ago and I don't remember much about it, other than it was clunky and heavy.

I hope this is enough information, and thank you for helping me narrow down my options. Cheers!

Help me pick out my camera.

• Budget: around $750 willing to go a little above but don’t want to go much higher.

• Country: USA

• Condition: New or used but preferably a camera made in the last 3-4 years.

• Type of Camera: Mirrorless either APC-S or Full Frame although I know APC is typically cheaper.

• Intended use: Hybrid shooting but mostly photography.

• If photography; what style: Mostly Car photography and street shooting although I would like it to be a nice sized camera I have fairly large hands so I want it to fit and feel comfortable not to small.

• If video what style: It would be like YouTube style filming so like vlogging but also used for rollers and b rolls.

• What features do you absolutely need: Weather sealing, and an articulating screen preferably.

• What features would be nice to have: Some sort of lens mounting system that has tons of options like the Sony E mount system or equivalent.

• Portability: fairly portable but like stated above I have fairly large hands so I want it to fit and feel great in the hands.

• Cameras you're considering: mostly looking at Sonys line up like the alpha series like the a6400, a6600, a6700 even though they are above my budget. As well as the ZV E 10 1 and 2. But really open to anything. I just and kind of a fan boy of Sony.

• Cameras you already have: I don’t have any anymore but I have had some cheaper like $400-500 cameras in the past like Canon Eos and I grew up using a Nikon D40.

• Notes: I’ve been doing a lot of researching trying to find the perfect camera for me in my budget. I need some suggestions to things I may not be looking at.

I’m entry level to photography and am running a car business so I need a fairly high resolution camera for that and preferably good in low light situations just in case, around $750 though for camera if Lens can be bought in that then awesome if not leave some recommendations and I’ll look at new and used options.

I’ve been looking a lot into Sony and their a7 series and the alpha series like the a6400, a6600, and the a6700 even though it’s above my budgets I’ve also been looking at the Sony VZ E10 (2) although both of them are more geared towards vlogging and videoing 75% of the time it will be used for just photos so while I am looking for a hybrid it can be geared more towards the photography side rather than the video side.

(If you can’t tell I’m a Sony kinda person but still open to different brands) but not having a lot of knowledge on photography or cameras and really just watching videos and looking at comparisons I don’t really know exactly what I need. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. TIA

I need help on getting a adapter for my camera lens

I ordered a Nikon D70s Digital Camera (Camera Body) and a Sigma Zoom Wide Angle-Telephoto 28-90mm f/3.5-5.6 Aspherical Autofocus Lens for Nikon AF-D I ordered an adapter off amazon but it didn't fit. This has been my first experience buying a canera so i don't really know anything about them. I need this for my photography class and need it soon. Preferably a product from amazon because that comes the quickest. From the 25- 30 dollar range is my budget. The camera is an F mount and the lens is an EF mount. As I said this is my first time doing anything with cameras so any information would help.

Fuji Film Instax 11 Beyond Repair or fixable?

I wanted to get your opinion before I spend a decent amount of money to see if I can get it fixed.

I dropped the camera a few months ago and it's just not working ever since. At first i had to put the batterys out and back in to get it to take a single photo (photos were coming out good still) but now that doesn't work and it continuously blinks red super fast, no photos can be taken. Is this like the xbox circle of death? Or is it a fixable issue? (If you need photos/videos I can provide!!)

If it's beyond repair, I'm not fussed. I just loved taking the instax photos and i'd love this cam to be repaired but its 70 quid and i rarely used it anyways.

Anyways, any help would be appreciated xx
