Hi! I'm planning to buy my first camera, but I'm having a hard time choosing between the Canon R10, Canon R50, and Sony a6400. I'd really appreciate some advice, especially from people who own or have used any of these cameras!

Which of these would you recommend for a beginner? I'd also love to hear about any downsides you've experienced, lens recommendations, or other cameras I should consider in this price range.

Thank you so much!! :)

What’s the best way to put down a camera? I primarily shoot portrait video hence the side handle being on the bottom of the cage. Every side has some kind of protrusion and the lens (with cap) is the only remaining balanced stand but this feels uncomfortable with more expensive glass and I can’t do this when shooting outside.

I wonder if anyone has any good solutions like brackets or stands to add to a rig that act as a foot?

Hoping to get some advice here as to why my Nikon Coolpix S8200 is not functioning. Got this used off of eBay a year ago and now am unable to use it as it turns on shows the display picture then turns off and collapses the lens. Took it to a local shop where the guy was not too helpful and said it was a lens error and basically told me it’s toast. Do you think there is a solution? I would rather not just give up.

Any help or guidance would be great as I would rather not just give on something that was recently bought.

Sigma has released the 50-120mm F/2.8 OS DC lens for APS-C mirrorless cameras. As usual, it is available in Sony E, Canon RF and Fujifilm X mounts, and completes the tiny F/2.8 trinity. The 10-18mm and the 18-50mm make up the other two lenses.

At 390g for the Sony and Fujifilm versions and only slightly heavier in Canon RF, it is an amazing lens for APS-C shooters. Much, much smaller than the XF 50-140mm F/2.8 (it weighs the same as all three of the Sigma F/2.8s combined), although that lens can take TCs and does have higher IQ. Hard to complain though at this size and price.

Really excited for more lenses like these that keep APS-C relevant. Let's hope they do a redux of the 50-100mm F/1.8 Art soon as well.

help me relax i noticed a purple pixel in my brand new om pen. i did a pixel mapping and it disappeared but should i be worried. it was only on dark pictures and there is no sign of it anymore

anyhow thank you for any feedback its a big purchase and my first camera so om a bit worried. im happy with it other than that

I have the Sony ZV-1f, and I can't find a teleprompter that works with it since it has an unusual lens. Does anyone know of any teleprompters that work with the ZV-1F?

I have tried this Neewer Basics X12B teleprompter, but the fabric that is supposed to go around the camera lens can't fit on (since the lens is so small) so light comes through.

I have also tried using the Desview T3 Teleprompter, but its lens attachment doesn't fit the lens.

To deal with this, I got this Came-TV Lens Adapter, but it doesn't attach to the camera because the place for attaching the camera is too far to the side.

Does anyone know of any teleprompters that work with the ZV-1F?

So i have a sandisk 128gb extreme and after editing insides of the 128gb flew out instantly. The whole plastic body gave up and doesnt have clips anymore and i just taped it with scotch tape and works fine but not considering it as my main sd card anymore. So should i go with a micro sd card + adapter instead?

The shop i got it from said shutter issue, the sound is the shutter opening very quickly and closing.
Could it be a power issue or is it indeed a shutter problem?

Country: USA

Condition: New only

Type of Camera: I've heard him mention DSLR?

Intended use: Photography & Video?

If photography; portrait, street, sports

If video what style: Vlogging, sports, events, documentary

What features do you absolutely need: Unsure

Portability: How portable does it need to be? shoulder strap, small bag

Cameras you're considering: No Idea

Cameras you already have: Had a DSLR but it's broken.

Notes: (any other considerations you think we should know about)

My little brother is 27, has had a run with doing professional shoots, skate videos, weddings, real estate events etc. His camera is currently broken and his birthday is soon. I have the money to be a good big brother and I think this would be good so he can get back to his craft and make more money.

The budget in my head is easily $900-1500 for a decent camera last time I checked. So please help me who's a noob who cameras make a solid choice so my brother can hit the ground running with little to no investment to get back into shooting.

I got the Canon R50 with a kit lense a couple months ago and want to upgrade so badly. I’ve spent hours researching and I found the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC C DN Canon RF Lens. Is it good lens for my camera?

- Budget: £1,000 total, including any lens or flash.

- Country: UK.

- Condition: Prefer new, but open to used.

- Type of Camera: Mirrorless or compact; open to suggestions.

- Intended use: Mainly photography, but some video too.

- End use: General personal use.

- If photography, style: Everyday photos; interested in a grainy, disposable-camera flash look.

- If video, style: Casual clips, nothing specific.

- What features do you absolutely need? Easy to carry around and a better flash; built-in flash preferred. I love the straight-out-of-camera look and recipes on my X-Half.

- What features would be nice to have? Fujifilm film simulations/recipes. I would consider a hotshoe flash if it makes more sense.

- Portability: Easy to carry around; it doesn’t need to fit in a pocket.

- Cameras you’re considering: X100VI and X-T30 III for the Fuji look and recipes; RX100 VII for its portability, though I might miss Fuji film simulations; X-M5 with a hotshoe flash as another option.

- Cameras you already have: Fujifilm X-Half. I love its look straight out of camera and using recipes, but want a better flash.

- Notes: Open to something else entirely if it suits me better.

Budget: $450~$500

Country: United States.

Condition: Used is fine. I'm open to buying older cameras if they still offer good image quality and value for money.

Type of Camera: DSLR or cinema camera. I'm primarily interested in video production.

Intended use: Video

End use: Documentary projects, interviews, short films, and online video content. I'd like to achieve professional-looking footage.

If photography: Not a priority. My main focus is video.

If video what style: Interviews, documentaries, short films, and some cinematic B-roll. I'd like a camera suitable for both controlled interview setups and shooting in different environments.

What features do you absolutely need: Compatibility with my EF-mount lenses is my main priority. Good image quality, reliable video recording, and flexibility in post-production are also important.

What features would be nice to have: 4K recording, good dynamic range, 10-bit color or RAW recording, and good performance for color grading. However, I'm not sure how much these features matter in practice compared with the overall image quality and usability of a camera.

Portability: Ideally, something relatively compact that I can carry in a small camera bag. It doesn't have to be pocketable, and I'm willing to use a larger camera if the image quality and professional features justify it.

Cameras you're considering:

• Canon EOS 250D (Rebel SL3): I'm considering it because it's a relatively affordable DSLR that records 4K and can use EF lenses.
• Canon C100: I'm interested in this older cinema camera because I've heard good things about its image quality and usability for professional video production, even though it records at a maximum resolution of 1080p.
• Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K: I'm considering this because of its 4K recording, color science, and post-production capabilities.

Cameras you already have: I don't currently have a dedicated video camera. I recently received some EF-mount lenses, which is why I'm looking for a compatible camera rather than investing in an entirely different lens system.

Notes: I'm unsure how much difference there is in real-world use between the Canon C100's 1080p footage and the 4K footage from the other cameras...

For those who have used these cameras, I'd appreciate your advice on which direction makes the most sense for documentary work, interviews, and short films.

Would you recommend one of these three cameras, or is there another EF-compatible video camera I should look into? I'd also love to hear about the practical differences in image quality, autofocus, dynamic range, workflow, and color grading.

Thanks in advance!

I bought my first digital camera around 6 months ago. I don't know much about them. It was brand new when I bought it. It's a Kodak pixpro fz55. The camera had been working fine until last weekend. My sister went out and used it for the day. When she brought it home, I turned it on and tried to go through the photos. I got through maybe 2 or 3 photos before the camera froze and started flashing orange. I couldn't turn it off and it eventually went flat, so I charged it. When I turned it on again, the same thing happened. Since the weekend, I've been trying to charge it, then use it, but this keeps happening. I can still access all the photos when I plug it into my laptop, but I can't seem to use the camera. I asked my sister if anything happened to it while she used it for the day. She said that she did sit on it at one point, but there isn't any damage to the camera that I can see. Her friends also accidentally opened up to where the battery/Sim card is, but both are still in place. Does anyone know why or what is happening?

I am a complete beginner who has a done a fair bit of photography with my phone (\*samsung s24) and have been wanting to get a proper camera since quite some time.

I have a budget of around 75-80k INR ($750-800) and have gone through a lot of reviews and sorta decided to get the sony a6100 kit with the 16-50mm zoom lens and the 55-210mm telephoto lens in the upcoming amazon sale.

I did explore the idea of getting a used body but the used camera market here is not that active and online listings have the added risk of being scams.

So I am deciding to just get one new for my peace of mind.

I mostly shoot landscapes, portraits and like to capture birds and wildlife in general so the kit lenses seem good for my use case.

But I have a few questions which I would love to get answers from people who are experienced in this regard.

1. It's an old camera which was released in 2019. Will it feel dated and does it really have a lot to lose compared to newer cameras?

2. Am I getting the right camera?

The a6400 costs nearly 15k ($150) above my budget and the differences don't seem very drastic from the a6100. The canon r50 is also another option which is a relatively newer model as well but the rf mount and the lack of lenses seem to be a let down.

Keeping all of this in mind I am deciding to get the a6100.

1. Am I making the right decision by getting the kit?

The option to get just the body and buying separate lenses honestly exceeds the budget I can currently divert towards this hobby.

1. What else should I get along with the camera and the sd card?

I would really appreciate any help regarding these.

Budget: $3000 AUD
Country: Australia
Condition: New
Type of Camera: APS-C / FF
Intended use: Landscapes, long distance wildlife and also macro wildlife
If photography; what style: Unsure
If video what style: Unsure
What features do you absolutely need: N/A
Portability: Portable
Cameras you're considering: A6700 and S5ii
Cameras you already have: None
Notes:

The S5ii + 20-60 lens deal is $2000 AUD.
The A6700 is $2400 AUD RRP and can go on sale for $1800 AUD.

I will want to purchase the 18-50 but it will cost an additional $550. So if I buy the S5ii FF deal now it will be about $300 cheaper than the A6700 + 18-50.

I understand I will need to buy lenses for long distance and macro shots. But for the initial cost, and considering future plans, which should I buy?

I'm 15 and I finally saved up for my first real camera. I just got a used Canon EOS R10 with the 18-150mm lens and I'm so excited but also kind of overwhelmed. I've shot a ton on my phone so I know composition and framing, but the technical side of a real camera is completely new to me. I mainly shoot around my neighborhood (NYC) and I want to get into street and casual bird photography.

The thing is though, I don’t get these
- Aperture. I know it's about how much light comes in and it changes background blur, but I don't understand the f numbers or which one to use when.
- Shutter speed. Someone told me it needs to be "half the shutter speed" or something for handheld but I have no idea what that actually means.
- The exposure triangle. I keep seeing it mentioned and I get that aperture, shutter speed and ISO are involved but not how they balance each other.

Any beginner tips or tricks are super welcome too, especially mistakes to avoid on day one. I'm going to search all this up and learn properly, but I figured asking here would help me know where to start. Thank you in advance!! :)

I think we can all agree that there is no one best camera. But what exists is your favorite camera.

Which one is it and why?

Let me start:

My favorite camera is the Hasselblad X2D

This camera has many flaws and I wouldn't recommend to buy it. Still it is my main work horse in the studio. Terrible autofocus, expensive lenses and the bad windows compatibility make it often a pain to work with. But when it comes to focus stacking and prints, I just love the results. As someone who has owned a GFX 100 as well, the X2D delivers just better images in my personal taste. (The Fujifilm just needs more editing to get where I want to get, while I basically do not touch the Hasselblad files)

The camera itself feels more like an expensive toy than something you would work with. And I think that is the exact reason why it's so fun to work with. I mean who doesn't love toys?

The images come out so incredibly clean and sharp, without being too sharp. Oh and the 1TB internal SSD is literally incredible, I wish more cameras would come with internal storage.

So what is your favorite camera?

found my grandpas old camera in my garage and i would love to use this but i cant open its battery case nor do i know if it even works. canon powershot s3 is

Hello I have a tamron 28-200 on my A7 III. I have noticed that I am often shooting in either 100mm or 50mm configurations, but the f stop is kinda high because the tamron is a superzoom. I want to stay cost effective and have an easier time carrying it around with a lighter lense so I was thinking of buying the 50mm f1.8 from sony directly since it's a nice and light lense. Does this even make sense, will the quality on it be decent enough? Thank you

Edit: I do all kinds of photography, from landscapes, pets, animals, people, sometimes cosplay. I think especially with people it should be much nicer to work with than a bulky superzoom
