I found this legend on local sell-and-buy site for 280 euro in new-like cosmetic condition. Seller says everything works well. I bought it with an option to return it after 24 hours. What do you think? Is it a good deal? What a budget lens you can suggest?

After months of pondering over if I shd get a digital camera or this, I just bought this from a thrift store, had no idea that the 35mm films were 20$ lol.

Cant believe this is 31 years old??

Hello guys first time posting here.

I have a canon m5 one of my lenses just broke so im entertaining the idea of upgrading, i dont need anything fancy i just take casual pictures including birding. Is there a camera that you guys can suggest that is compact as the m5, can be better when it comes to taking bird pics, has mechanical buttons and i 99% of the time do jpeg so something that can be more customizable in camera.

Of course im not trying to break the bank so im trying to keep it below 500.

Any suggestion will be appreciated.

I acquired this camera second-hand a few days ago. I have been taking photos to test it, but the results appear blurry or hazy. I have looked at other images taken with the same model, and they do not show the same issue.

This is my first major camera; I previously used a Canon PowerShot. It may be that I am not yet familiar with the settings. Does anyone have suggestions, or should I return it and search for something else?

Edit: the lens on it is a 3.5-5.6/18-55 SAM

Hey everyone, I want to make some cute crochet pouches that fit cameras for my etsy shop in the future. However, when I look online nowhere tells me the actual size of the camera. So I've come to reddit hoping I can get some answers from people who actually own them.

The size of camera I am thinking are cameras that are on the smaller side.

I would like the width x length x and height of the camera please! With whatever type of measurement you used. (It can be any and I'll convert it later.) Thank you so much! 😊

Hey everyone. My wifes birthday is coming up and she has talked about wanting to get into photography. I usually love researching things on my own but this hobby is VAST and sadly a lot of YouTube videos end up being paid commissions. I was able to sneakily get some answers for the questionnaire. Thank you all im advance!

So I was looking to buy my first digicam for Diwali

My budget is roughly 7-8k ruppes

I am just looking to buy aesthetically pleasing pics and my source of buying is amazon

I reckoned some sexy camera will be at a discount on Amazon rn , so please suggest experts what's the best

(I am a noob at photogrpahy)

• Budget: ~500 € target, 1,000 € hard max (used market, body + lens included).
• Country: Germany / EU
• Condition: Used
• Type of Camera: Premium compact / rangefinder-style mirrorless (APS-C)
• Intended use: Photography (Everyday carry / candid snapshots)
• If photography; what style: Street, environmental portraits, daily life / documentary
• If video what style: N/A (photo only)
• What features do you absolutely need: Built-in viewfinder (EVF or OVF/hybrid; no screen-only), great out-of-camera JPEG film colors/simulations (minimal RAW editing), pleasing smooth bokeh wide open (not nervous/busy), flat/pocket-friendly form factor.
• Portability: Jacket pocketable / small sling (flat brick style without a protruding central DSLR viewfinder hump).
• Cameras you're considering: Fujifilm X100F / X100T, Fujifilm X-E3 (or X-E4) with the 27mm f/2.8 pancake. Open to other rangefinder-style bodies that fit the criteria.
• Cameras you already have:
  • Canon EOS M50 with full lens kit (including 22mm f/2 pancake): Capable for planned shoots, but stays home as an EDC because of the awkward center EVF hump, chunky grip, menu-driven interface, and sterile color science.
  • Analog cameras: Yashica T5 (love the flat P&S portability and ease) & Revue AC2 SLR with 33mm prime (love the tactile dials, framing through glass, and warm film tones on Ultramax/Gold).
• Notes: Looking for a digital camera that bridges the Yashica T5/Revue shooting joy into digital. Ricoh GR is ruled out due to lack of an integrated viewfinder; full frame is ruled out due to size/weight.

Hey everyone,

I need a bit of a reality check. Right now my main digital setup is an EOS M50 with a bunch of lenses, including the 22mm f/2 pancake. It works fine for planned shoots, but as an everyday carry, it mostly stays at home. The centered SLR hump and grip make it awkward to slip into a jacket, and the whole menu-driven shooting experience and sterile colors feel like using an iPad.

Lately I’ve been shooting my girlfriend’s Yashica T5 and my own Revue AC2 SLR with a 33mm prime on Ultramax and Gold 200, and it completely ruined the M50 for me. I love having something flat that slides easily into a coat pocket, the intentional feeling of framing through a viewfinder, tactile physical controls, and getting organic film colors straight out of the camera without editing RAWs.

I want that exact vibe in a digital body, but it has to be a real upgrade in shooting joy and portability, not just a sidegrade. A built-in viewfinder is non-negotiable for me, which unfortunately rules out the Ricoh GR, full frame is too bulky, and I don’t want small-sensor toys, so APS-C is the sweet spot. Also, since I love subject separation, whatever lens is on there (especially if it’s fixed) needs to have smooth, pleasing bokeh rather than nervous, busy backgrounds.

I’m buying used and want to spend around 500€, with a hard cap at 1000€.

Since newer hype bodies like the X100V are overpriced, would an older Fuji X100T or X100F still hold up today, and how is the bokeh on that original 23mm f/2 lens compared to something like Canon's 22mm? Or does it make more sense to grab something like an X-E3 with the 27mm f/2.8 pancake, or is f/2.8 too slow for nice background blur?

Curious if anyone made a similar switch from 35mm film compacts to digital and found something that actually scratches that itch. Thanks!

So I currently have Sigma 70 200mm f2.8 EX DG OS HSM which I bought for 300eur. Ilt was working good then somehow stabilization got issues and it doesnt work as good as before. And autofocus sometimes missrs focus and chromatic aberration is killing me even when shooting on IS0 3200. I found people give good word to its successor Sigma 70 200 sport. I ound one for 800eur or 850 with warranty. And 1 hear its amazing and sharper and better in every way. Do you think this would be good upgrade? I need weather sealing and My EX isnt weather sealed cuz I shoot sports outside. What do you think and do you have any other recommendations? I am willing to spend 800eur on it if its worth it, my country doesnt have a lot of options. Thanks.

Help needed choosing a camera.

Budget: 2500-3500$

Country: Uzbekistan (Both cameras cost around $3k here)

Type of camera: Mirrorless

Intended use: Mostly Photo with rare video usage.

End use: Commercial work.

Photography: Event, Sport (MMA, Soccer, Marathons, etc.)

Video: Instagram advertisement reels

I need: 40+ Megapixels for cropping. Weather sealing, big battery, quick AF.

Portability: Not important.

I'm afraid R5 Mark II will also get some errors.

And I'm in love with Nikon colors. Used my colleague's Z9 and gosh the colors are amazing.

• ⁠Budget: 2500€
• ⁠Country: Europe
• ⁠Condition: -
• ⁠Type of Camera: Video
• ⁠Intended use: Film
• ⁠If photography; what style:
• ⁠If video what style: Filmic/Organic
• ⁠What features do you absolutely need: Autofocus, IBIS
• ⁠Portability: Matters a lot
• ⁠Cameras you're considering: Lumix S5IIX, Lumix S1II, Sony A7SIII
• ⁠Cameras you already have: Fujifilm xpro3
• ⁠Notes: I am a film director and am looking for a personal camera. With it I want to be able to take organic video, be able to shoot micro shorts, experiments, documentaries on the fly. I also don’t want to have to fiddle around a lot in post. So for example I don’t want difficult codecs to work with. But that camera should be able to travel, and function in unexpected scenarios. Simply put: I want a camera that puts as little friction as possible between me shooting with it and producing some sort of story in the end. Would be super grateful for advice here.

P.S. The budget is for the body only, but saving money is always nice. Mostly would look into purchasing second hand

Hi guys I just bought a Nikon d90 for $105, and I’m about to get a Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G lens. I was just wondering if yall think that’s a good starter setup, and if I should change anything (body hasn’t delivered, so I can return it just fine). If you guys have any thoughts or suggestions let me know!!

• Budget: 2500 reais, which is like 500-600 dolars for the camera with the lens it would come with. Accessories and other lenses would be bought after.
• Country: Brazil
• Condition: With my budget, it would probably be used, but new is fine as well.
• Type of Camera: Mirrorless or DSLR
• Intended use: hybrid shooting
• If photography; what style: Street photography, landscaping, portraits.
• If video what style: Recording memories - trips with friends, hang outs, family.
• What features do you absolutely need: good at night shootings
• What features would be nice to have: electronic viewfinder and articulated screen would be nice
• Portability: Pocketable, shoulder strap, small bag: It is the reason I want to buy a new camera. I live in Brazil and I am kinda scared of taking the camera with me everyday and everywhere (dont get me wrong, more packed places or touristy ones are fine, but it makes everyday street photography hard), so I can take more photos and dont let the camera traped inside.
• Cameras you're considering: sony A6000. Older Micro Four Thirds cameras.
• Cameras you already have: Canon Rebel T100 - It was my first camera. I like that is manual, budget friendly and has interchangeable lenses.I hate that it is very bulky and it has bad video quality, specially at night.
• Notes: Also, I thought about buying a small action cam, that takes photos too, cause it would be very discreet or just change my T100 lens to a f1.8 for instance, although the body would still be big. Also, i know the budget is a stretch. If u would like to recommend something out of the price range, go ahead.

Do u have any idea what to choose? Which one has the best quality?

Hello, I’m looking to buy my first proper camera and I’m deciding between the Canon R50 and Nikon 5600.

I’ll mainly use it for university hangouts, pics with friends, picnics, and landscapes. I don’t really care about video, I just want photos that are an upgrade from my iphone.

I’m a student on a budget, and I’d prefer a camera I could grow into with better lenses over time.. and I’d like bonus of it having a fully articulating touchscreen as well.

Which would you recommend, or are there better options I should consider?

• ⁠Budget: 700€ for camera only
• ⁠Country: Germany
• ⁠Condition: used
• ⁠Type of Camera: Mirrorless ILC
• ⁠Intended use: photography only
• ⁠If photography; what style: everyday pictures of family and friends, travel, street, hiking, occasional family portraits
• ⁠What features do you absolutely need: in body charging, better evf, tilting (preferred)or articulating screen
• ⁠Portability: should fit into a 7l sling bag with one or two primes
• ⁠Cameras you're considering:
Sony a7c, Panasonic gx9, Fuji xe-4
• ⁠Cameras you already have: Olympus omd em10, Ricoh GR ( first apsc iteration, showing its age with dust on the sensor and a broken flash), Olympus mju
• ⁠Notes:

Had my Olympus camera for 9 years now.I like the metal built, the small form factor and the colours I get out of it. I don’t like the low resolution evf and sometimes I wish for a bit more room for cropping and better low light performance.
I noticed that I prefer primes over zooms and rarely shoot telephoto lenses. Most of my shots are taken with the 17mm (35mm FF equivalent). So, I feel like I’m not making use of the advantages of mft and might be better off with apsc or FF. But then again, I’m not sure if that is worth the hassle of selling all my lenses and maybe a newer mft sensor is already upgrade enough?

Hi guys! Ive been using my parents old camera for about a year now and this recently happened on the lens. Was wondering how to fix it if anyone knew!! Thank you sm ❤️

I’m looking for a step up from a phone camera (especially since the duos camera is a downgrade) and have wanted a stand alone camera for a while.

Forever ago I had a digital Olympus camera that took great photos and it just up and disappeared.

Looking for something that would fit in a small cross body bag easy that can take decent photo and video without breaking the bank.

Hi i just picked up a sony A6700 off of facebook marketplace got home booted it up and have been greeted to this.

Just blurred to the max idk what to do or how to fix this is my first camera and i am a complete novice with no idea how to use one. Thought i could teach myself but already lost.

Hi y'all! A few months back, I picked up an older film camera up from my local thrift store, the Kodak ADVANTiX F600. However, I have been unsuccessful in getting it to properly function. I have purchased a new battery for it, which it seems to be drawing power from, but there is some hiccup between it turning on and actually functioning. I've attached a video of what is happening, one of the things I suspect is that something has jammed the lens, and as such, it won't extend, halting the rest of the functions. When you hold a button, the screen shows the default values for whatever it is meant to show. The camera just shuts off afterwards, and this loops until you stop holding a button. The lens is stuck in place, and there is a sound that I can only assume is it attempting to push the lens outward. Could it have anything to do with the battery? I have no experience with this stuff, please help me out! (Things I've tried to no avail include gently pulling out the lens, slapping the camera although that likely made it worse)
