hello

my fujifilm finepix s3500 digital camera has

shows a zoom error and the lense is stuckm

i assume something got stuck in the lense since i took it to the beach and that's when the problem started. maybe some sand or water got in.

how do i fix this?

I will be staying in gyoda and I’m willing to spend up to 1000 usd, prefer fujifilm but would settle for something like Panasonic or Nikon, maybe full frame, micro four thirds is also something I’d want, are there any big camera shops I should visit? And is it worth waiting till I get over there to buy something?

I'm purchasing my first camera.

Since this is going to be my first "real" camera I don't really need to go over the top when it comes to sensor size and specs because I really want to use this camera to learn on if that makes sense. I'm mostly posting on Youtube, Instagram, Tiktok and I'll also be using it as an every day carry glorified momcam with some client work sprinkled in there for photography shoots and ads for like small businesses.

With that being said, these are the cameras I'm stuck trying to decide between.

Lumix S9

Lumix S5iix

Sony A7cii

Sony a6700

Opinions are absolutely welcome and I'm all for learning. If you have any other recommendations I'm absolutely open to those as well!

Thanks

Yesterday, I received the most amazing gift I have ever gotten. This is my dad’s camera, originally purchased in 2002. He suddenly passed away later that year. He was creative and bright and expressed his emotions through his photography. He worked late and saved up for this camera. His best friend held onto it since his passing and graciously gifted it to me this year. I’d love to see if it still works, but I don’t know the first thing about cameras and it hasn’t seen the light of day in 22 years. Is there any hope for it? What do I need to get it working?

I’ve been shooting analog for a while and love it, but rising film costs combined with the dark winters where I live have me considering buying my first digital camera. I’m looking for something that has:

1. Good Low-Light Performance: I often shoot in low-light environments like pubs or on the street after sunset, so excellent low-light performance is essential.
2. Compact and Pocketable: I’d prefer a camera that’s easy to carry every day—ideally, something that fits in my pocket or a small bag. In anycase more compact than my OM-1.
3. Discreet Design: I enjoy photographing people, I'd like something unobtrusive that won’t draw too much attention to itself or disrupt the moment.
4. Print-Worthy Image Quality: I'm unsure whats the ‘right’ number of megapixels, but I’d like a camera capable of producing good A5 or maybe even A4 prints for zines—something suitable for more than just Instagram

I’m hoping to find something under €1000 and am more than happy to buy second-hand. Any recommendations that balance these features would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

(Oh I forget but, video isn't important to me at all—I’m only really interested in photography)

Please help me decide. I’m looking for a new camera to shoot photos and videos of watches. I always shoot indoors with additional lights.

I’m down to two models (yes with a price difference). I really like the new Fujifilm X-M5. The silver body is so nice! I don’t really need to have a small camera, but it does look very tempting to have.

The other option is a Sony A6700. Costs a bit more, but willing to invest some more and be future proof.

I’m always shooting on a tripod, and tend to make more videos than photos (60/40).

What should I choose?

Hi! I got this old digicam handed to me from my father, does anyone know any good presets that I can try for a soft y2k look? I have tested out presets from tiktok but it doesnt give the same effect that they have on my cam. Its my first time having a camera, please give me tips. Thanks!

Would the Laowa macro lens provide better depth of field and also similar level of magnification compared to the sample images ? (Taken with EFS 18-55mm kit lens reverse mounted on Canon 6d camera body)

Ther reverse mounted lens is provideing great magnification but its difficult to get any shots in focus because of camera and subject movement.

I can purchase the Laowa macro lens in 'very good used condition' for about half its retail value so I wonder if I should upgrade or just continue with the reverse mounted setup.

I was looking into the zve10, zve10ii and the a6700 as my option for camera and came to the conclusion to get the middle ground between all 3, the zve10ii but I have heard that it overheats so I wanted to ask if you guys know if I can use the camera as a webcam for long hours 4h+ in 4k using a dummy battery and hdmi capture card in a 71 to 75 room temp without overheating?

I am severely addicted to my phone and am switching to a dumbphone (non-smart phone, no social media). With that in mind I need something to replace my iPhone 14 Pro camera, which is a shame because photos and videos on iPhones are good to the everyday Joe like me. I do not have exposure to the camera world and would love help from one of you guys who are knowledgeable. • ⁠Budget: ~$250, flexible though

• ⁠Country: United States

• ⁠Condition: New or used, no matter

• ⁠Type of Camera: photography & video capabilities? Everyday use basically.

• ⁠Intended use: casual photography and vlogging uses

• ⁠If photography; what style: Candid shots of friends. Landscape photography. Hopefully in the budget but, long exposure would be nice.

• ⁠If video what style: vlogging styles & content creation

• ⁠What features do you absolutely need: portability, will be replacing my smartphone for photography uses.

• ⁠Portability: A smaller form factor would be better, pocket sized, but at most like fanny pack size.

• ⁠Cameras you're considering: Older models of top brand cameras, no specifics.

• ⁠Cameras you already have: iPhone 14 Pro

• ⁠Notes: A camera with easy microphone setup for videos would be ideal

I currently have access to all adobe software courtesy of my university:). But, super cliche, I want to start my own journey of learning about a form of creation to ease my mind; and the new years is a great opportunity.

A while ago I cleaned my camera sensor and after that I didn't see any dirt, now I saw it well in backlight and I don't know if I used too much liquid or something, I'm scared

Hi, I saw an untested GM5 for sale and nothing that can be noticed except for the curtain on front of the sensor, I've never seen that, is that normal (I'm quite new to photography, sorry if it's dumb)?

this might be a dumb question, but what would happen if I use an Anamorphic adapter on Sony's 70-200f2.8 GMii? I really want to shoot anamorphic for that cinematic feel, but I don't wanna let go of shooting with my 70-200f2.8 would anyone have any thoughts on pairing it up with a front screw-on adapter like the ones MOMENT, blazar or sirui make?

I just got my flash on the mail but I can't get it to work.

It's this one: https://reflxlab.com/products/pre-order-reflx-lab-mini-flash?variant=45714906349734

Budget: £2500 • ⁠Country: UK • ⁠Condition: Brand new/Like new • ⁠Type of Camera: Full frame mirrorless • ⁠Intended use: Nature, concerts, events • ⁠What features do you absolutely need: Lightweight, strong low light performance, real good autofocus • ⁠Portability: Robust enough for hiking and active concerts • ⁠Cameras you're considering: Sony A7iii, Sony A7iv, Sony A7C, Sony A7Cii • ⁠Cameras you already have: Canon 77d

Okay so long story but my Canon 77D was stolen along with a bunch of mediocre lenses besides my sigma 17-50mm (I loved that thing). My insurance has paid out enough to get enough for a very decent full frame plus a solid lens.

It’s been many years since my purchase of my 77D. I don’t know why but I’m feeling a shift from canon to Sony, I guess I own a lot of other Sony products and am very happy with their other products so why not a camera from them too right.

I understand the jump is quite major from a crop sensor to a full frame mirrorless. It’s new technology mixed with vastly superior quality so it’s going to be liberating whatever I get. I will admit I was getting more serious with my photography, bagging a few paid jobs but the old canon wasn’t cutting the mustard. If it was still in my possession I would have persisted but the money is there now to find a much better success. I need your help team. Let’s discuss.

Jag har köpt en Sony Cybershot P-200. Dock var inget minneskort med, de vi har hemma är alldeles för små. Har googlat och googlat men hittar inte vilket man ska köpa? Tar tacksamt emot hjälp!😅

Hi. I know there's a subreddit specifically for camcorders, but it's pretty dead and there aren't that many people there, and hopefully there'll be someone here to help me out. I was switching my Panasonic HC-VXF1 camcorder from PAL mode to NTSC via service settings, I've done it before so I knew what I was doing. Everything was going fine until I accidentally pressed the wrong combination of buttons when entering the service settings, the camcorder made some sort of sound and this "test low" message appeared on my screen and a giant black box that can't be hidden, the box only appears when a card is inserted. I tried to go through the whole camera manual, but it doesn't say anything like that, as it's a sort of diagnostic mode. Does anyone know how to turn this mode off? PS: I tried resetting the settings in the menu and it didn't help.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Hello, I was researching cameras in the $900-$1000 range to upgrade from the Canon EOS M. I'm looking for a camera primarily for video and cinematography, as well as photography, with the capability to handle color grading well. I’m mainly focused on video. I'm torn between the Canon EOS R10 and the Fujifilm XT-30ii, though I’m leaning more towards the EOS R10. Do you think these cameras are sufficient for video? Or do you have other recommendations in the same price range?

For now, I plan to use the kit lens during the adjustment period, as I don’t have the budget for a good lens yet.

Budget: USD $1200

Country: USA

Condition: Used

Type of Camera: Mirrorless or DSLR - not super picky

Intended use: 98% photography, 2% video

If photography; what style: Portrait, product, macro, landscape, pet and possibly astrophotography and slim chance of architectural photography

If video what style: on the rare occasion, short demos/training - if used would probably be a B camera

What features do you absolutely need: Hot shoe, view finder, physical controls for main functions (ie: don't want to have to menu dive to switch to manual mode), decent to good low light performance, good glass options, remote shutter option.

What features would be nice to have: At least partial if not full articulating screen, dual card slots, 3rd party lens options, good battery life, top display, vertical grip option, 24+ MP.

Portability: How portable does it need to be? Doesn't have to be very portable; smallest body size around a Sony A7, largest around a Nikon D4

Cameras you're considering:

  A7iii - upgrade from current camera with a better sensor, AF, better dynamic range, dual card slots

  A7riii - higher resolution than A7 iii,

  Nikon Z5 - highly rated, appears to offer good JPEGs ooc which would be nice when not shooting raw, dual card slots

  Willing to consider other options; 

Cameras you already have: Currently have A7ii, decent camera, works fairly well but low light performance is meh at best. High ISO noise is annoying. JPEG quality ooc is ok but nothing to write home about. Lens selection for the E / FE mount is decent on both new and used market although a bit on the expensive side for on brand lenses. The A7ii was my first Sony camera and replaced my Pentax K3 ii.

Notes: Purchase time frame is probably 6 months - I will probably need to stick with used KEH or MPB as the current crop of new cameras are outside of my price range especially as I want to get a lens or two (if sticking with sony) or would have to replace my glass if going a different system. I don't mind using other systems and have used/owned Nikon, Canon, Panasonic, Pentax, aside from my current Sony so I'm not very brand loyal ;) although as I am getting closer to retirement from my day job I will really need to find a brand and stick to it as I won't be able to afford switching systems any more so my guess is I'll either stay with Sony or make one more switch. I am a bit leery of Canon atm with (unless they've changed their stance) restriction on third party lenses for their mirrorless systems.

Hello everybody , i found an old camera, to be more precise, I have a sony cybershot dsc w210 and no charger or data cable to use it, could someone help me with some information to buy the right ones?

What lens hood should I get for Canon RFS 18-45mm f4.5-6.3 IS STM and for RFS 55-210mm f5-7,1 IS STM KIT? Or do you recommend not getting one? Thanks!

Found this old sony wx80 cyber shot camera in cupboard and its showing this error how to fix this???? And how much it will cost?????
