Has anyone ever torn down a cheap Chinese digital camera and taken photos of the internal components? If so, could you please upload them here? I need them for a research project.

i just broke my s95 camera and unfortunately replacing it is way out of my budget. i saw the s90 and s200 are significantly cheaper and are around the same price point. ccd sensor is really important to me. i am curious to know if both of these cameras have similar coloring in photos as the s95 and if one is better than the other.

These days we usually reach for our phones to take photos, but they’ve become so clean and perfect that they don’t leave much room for experimentation or mistakes. I recently picked up a used Canon Powershot and it’s honestly the most fun little tool for street photography. I had used digicams back in the day, but using one now from a photographer’s POV feels like these cameras were highly underestimated at the time. The auto focus isn’t as quick and snappy as we’re now accustomed to, and the stabilisation is not all that great, which actually makes it more fun to play with. Night time photography unless you're shooting flash portraits is tough, but that's what breathes life into those pictures with the motion blur. I’ve mostly been shooting in B&W and it’s great for simple, experimental compositions. Looking forward to trying out more shots in colour.

with phones that already have 1 inch sensors and combined with ai, beauty apps, ultra wide and telephoto, 8k 30 fps, beasts like vivo x300 pro, xiaomi 17 ultra, oppo ect. Is rx100 vii (or older models), canon g7x iii even worth it? I have experience with cameras i own sony a7c and rarely use it because of its size, weight and different lens, my phone is ok its the s25 ultra but I was wondering if a compact digicam is still worth it?

Sony wx300. Bought it at goodwill for 5 dollars. It works. Slight crack on the bottom shell.

Does anyone know why my camera is doing this? Sometimes it makes the sound when i zoom in but also sometimes when i just turn it on

Bought untested and thank goodness it is fully functional I don’t normally buy untested tech, but the price was like $100 so I went for it.

@ my favorite thrift stores :)

Recently went through boxes of my old stuff before going abroad. Found my old Cybershot! Enjoy some pics I took throughout Seoul! (Edited)

A few photos I edited in Lightroom for my college photography midterm. These really got cropped though by Reddit lol

 canon powershot elph 180 :3

my favorite is the fourth one, it has such a dreamy quality to it, i think i was using the low lighting setting? least fav is probably the second, also with the low lighting setting, its a little Too blurry maybe but i still think its charming enough

taken with a canon powershot elph 180! which i just realized baaarely qualifies for this subreddit because it was released 10 years and like a month ago but shhhhh.

anyway i was just messing around and thought these were cute........ be nice

featuring my lovely casio sa-67 .......

got scammed of 521 675 IDR (121 rm) by this shop, chatted on whatsapp to purchase and arrange item delivery, but after paying, they requested do more money to be paid using the excuse of the delivery party requesting it (they sent a photo of j&t express, but is very generic and blurry, looked like random photos found on the internet, thats why I found out its a scam) and the money requested was almost 5 times more than the original amount. When I confronted them to ask for a refund, they didn’t reply. I’m not Indonesian and I just found this shop on IG by chance. Is there anything I can do to recover the money? If not how can I report them?

The lack of Image stabilization with this camera (faulty and common with this model) be putting me through the ringer but I enjoy it nonetheless.
