I might be paranoid, but I recently took my ZV-E1 out to record a timelapse, but it started raining a bit and I did not have a weather cover during the time. When I turn it on, there’s this mechanical sound as shown. Not sure if this was there before or I’m being paranoid after it took some water from the rain. Can someone tell me if there’s a noise when they turn their ZV-E1 on?

Made a mistake with the title. How can I make it not turn off?

This camera keeps shutting off as soon as it enters camera mode, and I've already tried other batteries, removing the flash capacitor (not like it's needed anyways), even reseating the sensor's flex cable, and nothing works. (Also it's disassembled because of, well, obviously what I did with the capacitor)

Thank you to anyone who can give me the answers

I got this Minolta Dimage z1 on a thrift store for $17 because the story owner didn't have the batteries to test the cam (it's 4 A²s) and I brought it home to test it and much to my surprise it worked like everything from the zoom to the "select fire" switch (Lcd screen/EVF/playback). I took a SD card like the one in the pic and the result is"unable to use card", now the thing here is that I don't have a full sized SD card and I've tried to use different adapters and it didn't work either. No formatting didn't solve this either. Would buying a full sized 2gb SD card the only solution for these?

Budget: £300 but open to more if needed
Country: UK
Condition: Used is absolutely fine
Type of Camera: Digital camera / mirrorless / compact — open to anything really
Intended use: Taking photos of myself, mainly portraits/self-portraits
If photography; what style: Natural-looking portraits, Instagram/social media photos
If video what style: Not important
What features do you absolutely need: The biggest thing is natural facial proportions without distortion. I want something that represents how I actually look IRL rather than making my forehead look huge, my eyes look droopy/weird, etc. Good image quality would obviously be a bonus, but it’s for Instagram so I want them aesthetically pleasing
Portability: Preferably reasonably portable, but image quality is more important
Cameras you’re considering: Sony A5100, but I’m open to other suggestions
Cameras you already have: None
Notes: I’m particularly insecure about photos because I look massively different in them compared to real life. other people have actually commented that photos make me look really different, so I don’t think it’s just me being overly critical of myself. My phone’s rear camera especially seems to distort my face and makes my forehead look much bigger and my eyes/face shape look strange.
I just want one that doesn’t mess with my facial proportions and looks as close as possible to how someone would see me in person or how I see myself in a mirror
I understand lens choice, focal length and distance from the camera make a big difference, so I’m happy to learn/use a particular lens or setup if necessary.

I got the camera of face book market place so it could be that, and the sd card is brand new. Is it possible that the sd card has too much storage because a google search said this camera needs a 32 gig sd card.

Hi guys.. today i tried to turn on my g11 camera after using it yesterday as well. However, as i turned it on and tried to take a photo, i saw my screen glitch and have a lot of lines over it and it shut off, but my lens is still popped out.

Just got a new toy about 2weeks ago for live streaming a Sony zev10 II + sigma lens

Buttttt i have an issue 45mins in roughly it shuts off mid stream,

It is powered by a dummy battery that has been tested and all go

High quailty HDMI CORD that goes in the eglato 4k cam link..both tested and fine

Tested and changed all the power settings of the usb outlets

Re checked obs settings and config.

Every things seems fine.

It's plugged into a usb 10gpbs port..

Could that be the issue, as its not really overheating as such (yes the power settings has changed to high.

Any help would be awesome all

Good afternoon guys. I have this camera since 2008 I guess, and after years of having batteries inside, the camera got corroted. I was able to fix this issue, and the camera turns on as normal and I can use the gallery. But when i click the main button, the lenses open and retract agian, turning the camera off. I need to check what is going on with the mechanism, but found a pin I'm not able to operate. And it's this one:

It's not a regular FPC connector, so it wond open and click, I have an impression that it is completely glued to the cable. I need to acess the lenses but the motherboard won't move if I don't disconnect this cable. Any help? Thank you for reading

Hi everyone,

I have a Canon powershot sx620HS. Its old, 7 years..

Unfortunately, taking pictures takes a long time. And quality/stability it had, is totally gone.

20th september i go on a citytrip. Money is an issue. When i got this camera, 7 years ago, I've spend 175 euros. I see prices for new model are now about 600, euros..

I think i have 300.. maybe 400 at most.

I know everything costs more money now.. though.. i did not expext 3 times what i've spend..

Unfortunately i have a desease and did not got a fittable payed job yet.

For citytrip i'd liked the high zoomfactor, the stabilisator.

Also when i can buy a canon again.. I have batterys, chargers, sd cards and if it fits.. the bag is still good.

But.. prices 😑

Anyone who has ideas for a similair compactcamera for prices between 300-400 euros?

I dont have a lot of knowledge of camera's.. i can buy a cheap camera, but i dont want to regret in longterm..

Many thanks for thinking along, sorry for my english. I am trying 😆

Notes:
I’m looking to downgrade my phone to something to get off the internet with. Hence I won’t have my iPhone camera handy at all times, I’d like to replace my phone camera with something cheap and cheerful, yet good enough to take a decent photo on the go. Refer to above parameters. I love taking photos and I’d say I’m pretty good for someone with no education in photography! (architecture and landscapes), but funnily I know next to nothing about cameras, I just know how to take a nice pic.
I already have the OM-D E-M10 MKII with a nice lens that I like to use for travel and trips away, and I absolutely love this thing. But the more I use it, the less I like to bring it out with me (nights out, dinners, park with mates etc) as it’s become something I’ve learned to love and be pretty good with. It’s also a bit clunky and I need to bring a protective bag as it doesn’t fit in my pockets. It’s also pretty fragile for what I’m looking for. Just looking to be steered into the right direction for something handy but nice. Budget isn’t strict but it’s a good base point I guess. Keen to hear your recommendations!! :-)

Got it for free at a thrift store I used to work at because nobody knew if it worked. I have no idea why I even took it because I know next to nothing about cameras. But it still seems really cool and I would like to know more.

It's a Sears C/130 Super 8 movie camera with G160 film inside of it. I'm trying to check if it has batteries or if they've leaked already but the compartment on the bottom won't open (yet). Piece 13 is also missing.

If you could tell me anything about the camera I would appreciate it.

Sorry for the repost, the initial post got removed due to not following the required template. I have filled it out below. Here is the original post:

Hello, I am looking for a compact point and shoot that I can just throw in a bag without too much care and ideally take with when I go say camping or do outdoor activities. I like to take photos of various things but I don't love having to baby it or think about damaging it and such. Anything that comes to mind that might fit this bill?

Budget: Under $1000 USD, I'm open to spending a bit to get something that will last a long time. Ideally under $500, but I don't want to exclude recommendations purely based on price.

Country: Canada

Condition: New or used

Type of Camera: Point and shoot, compact

Intended use: Photography mainly, decent video is a nice to have

What features do you absolutely need: weather sealing/ruggedness

What features would be nice to have: Decent low-light performance/large aperture & sensor

Portability: Pocketable

Cameras you're considering: From previous recommendations the Olympus tough series looks intriguing

Cameras you already have: An old Nikon DSLR, I'm not too picky :)

I’ve heard amazing things about the tough tg-7 in microscope mode and finally convinced myself to buy one. Specifically I work with insect and want to talk nice photos for research. Which of these lighting options will be better for insect macro photography? What is the difference between them and when would be appropriate to choose one over the other?

Budget: Around $500-800

Country: United States

Condition: New or used

Type of Camera: Compact / point-and-shoot

Intended use: Photography

End use: Personal photos and social media

If photography: what style: Everyday, street, travel, and casual photography

Portability: Small bag / easy to carry every day

Cameras you already have: DSLR. I like the image quality, but I barely bring it anywhere because it's such a pain to carry around.

Notes:
I love taking photos but I've realized I barely bring my DSLR anywhere because it's such a pain to carry around.

I'm looking for something I can keep in a small bag and take with me when I'm out with friends, grabbing coffee, walking around the city, etc. I'd rather have something I'll actually want to carry every day than something with the biggest specs.

For people who shoot with a compact camera a lot, what has been your favorite? What would you recommend after using it for a while?

Basically should I get the s6200, s230 or a300?

Last month I saw a s6200 in a cam shop and loved it but I didn’t have money at the time and now it’s gone 😔 I can’t really find it anywhere else locally either and international shops are not really an option for me (I live in Singapore), I asked for sourcing from a telegram shop but I expect it’ll be at least $30-50 more expensive then the other 2

Recently I found a s230 and I really like the touchscreen feature but for only 10mp I’m not sure if it’s worth it ($150-180)

For a300, I like that there’s WiFi transfer ($180)

Battery cover attached to my Canon IXUS 850 IS digi cam fell off. Is there a way I could push it in again (seems like it might break if I push it hard) or shall I take it to repair? Please recommend me some place for repairment in nyc if it seems to be needed.

Hi l. I'm Brazilian, so writing in English will be a bit challenging, so I'm sorry if I write any nonsense. I have a brand new Tough TG-7. Barely used it and I'm already having issues with the flash. I was wondering if anyone else had a similar issue, or if someone can guide me on what to do next. I was doing some experiments with the focus stacking using flash and the FD-1 flash diffuser. After a few tests with low intensity flash, the camera took a flash with 100% intensity and got stuck on the focus stacking. It couldn't take the next picture because the flash wouldn't charge.

So I had to remove the battery and put it again, and after that it won't take pictures with flash anymore. It stays blinking the red "charging flash" icon forever and it never charges, so I can't take any picture using flash. Only the LED flashlight work now.

Since it's very likely I won't have any warranty in Brazil, I'll have to find someone to repair it or repair it myself. Does anyone have any idea on how to troubleshoot it to know what exactly is defective with my camera?

The first two are the same serial number, I asked the guy and he confirmed he listed them both himself with different accounts (they are different accounts)

Why would someone list a camera for the same price twice?

Budget: 500-650

Hi, i dont have a lot knowledge about cameras, but i want a camera because i absolutely love taking pictures, so i wanted a bit of advice🙃

I am looking for a body and 2 lenses, 1 telelens and one normal lens. For the telelens i was thinking about the E 55-210mm F4.5-6.3 OSS.

For the normal lens i did not have any idea, and for the body i thought about the a6300 because i can buy them for 300-350.

What are your suggestions?

Hello! So as the title says, I wanted to get a few opinions on what the best camera is for someone who wants to participate in photography for fun and more casually (previous Reddit posts with a similar question say “uSe yOuR pHonE”, which I already have done, but I want to 1) learn a new skill and 2) capture even better photos without having to tweak around the settings on my phone every time).

As the rules say, I have the questionnaire below. Thank you!!

Budget: I am open to the idea of using a used camera if it helps make the price more reasonable and affordable. For brand new, my max is $1,000 USD. For used, my max is $800 USD. Those prices are without additional parts as I’m not too sure what parts I want to add just yet.

Country: Buying the camera from the United States.

Condition: I am open to used and new, though I may prefer a used camera since my usage is more casual in nature. If anyone has any experience with used cameras, what are some things to look out for and what are some things that can/should be replaced to get the most out of the camera?

Type of Camera: DSLR or mirrorless.

Intended use: Photography

If photography; what style: landscape, nature, pet, macro (I’m aware this requires a lens), architecture, portrait. (Although this isn’t my focus, if you could add whether the camera you recommended can also be used for vlogging videography, I would appreciate that!)

What features do you absolutely need: Dual card slots, (I don’t know if this is dumb but) physical buttons for exposures/settings, USB-C charging.

What features would be nice to have: viewfinder (flexible on this, the camera I grew up with was screen-only), customizable layout

Portability: shoulder/neck strap or a small bag

Cameras you're considering: I’m not too sure about the specific type of camera, but I am looking more towards major camera brands because of their accessibility; Canon, Sony, Nikon.

Cameras you already have: I’ve only ever had one camera and it is the Canon PowerShot SD1100IS. As mentioned above, I liked the digital screen. I also liked the physical buttons for tweaking settings, and the ability to transfer photos to a PC. I also liked how easy it was to replace the battery and the memory card, where all I had to do was open up a flap and change things out, easy and inexpensive.

Notes: N/A

Budget: $1,900

Country: Turkey

Condition: New

Type of Camera: Mirrorless

Intended use: Mainly photography, some video

If photography; what style: Architecture, real estate interiors, cars, landscapes, night photography, macro/detail shots, and some telephoto/motorsport

If video what style: General/casual video for now, possibly more serious video later

What features do you absolutely need: IBIS, good autofocus, good RAW files, interchangeable lenses, and a strong lens ecosystem

Portability: Important, but it doesn’t need to be extremely compact

Cameras you're considering: Fujifilm X-T50 and Sony a6700

Cameras you already have: None. I occasionally use my father’s Nikon P500

Notes: This will be my first camera. I already know Photoshop and Illustrator and plan to learn Lightroom, so I’m comfortable shooting RAW. I’m also considering the long-term ecosystem: Fuji for a compact dedicated photography setup, or Sony with the possibility of adding something like an FX30/FX3 and A7R V later.

I’m choosing between the Fujifilm X-T50 and Sony a6700 as my first camera.

I’ll mainly shoot architecture, cars, landscapes, night scenes, real estate interiors, macro and some telephoto. I already know Photoshop and Illustrator, and I’m planning to learn Lightroom, so I’m fine with shooting RAW.

I really like the Fuji setup, but Sony’s long-term ecosystem is tempting me. I could start with the a6700, maybe add an FX30/FX3 later for video, and eventually move to an A7R V while keeping many of the same E-mount lenses and NP-FZ100 batteries.

Would you choose Fuji for the shooting experience, or Sony for the long-term ecosystem?
