Hello everyone! I was hoping to get some info on what’s becoming a bit of a family heirloom. My parents brought this camera with them when we left Poland in 1996 (I was three!). I remember this working pretty well when I took a very basic photography class in high school back in 2010, but it was tucked away in a cabinet otherwise. When I moved out, I ended up taking it with me. It’s been sitting on a bookshelf with some other curiosities in my study ever since. I figured it was about time I learned a bit more about it, and figured this might be a good place to get more info. I just checked and high school me was smart enough to remove the batteries from the main camera and the flash portion before squirreling it away. Any info would be appreciated!

I just got my first ever camera with interchangeable lenses.
This was the cheapest x-t1 -and the cheapest fuji in general-
Got this for 220 bucks (body only)
And going tomorrow for the 15-45mm lens i’ve found for 90 bucks

Hope i wasn’t scammed, but generally the prices here are too high because of taxes so it would be understandable!

Any tips to learn how to learn the basics? Thx! 🙏

hello,
As a student part-time event photographer, which is a side gig as a source of extra income, my camera being damaged like this really isn't favorable at the moment and I would highly appreciate any advice/comment on what I can do to fix this. Basically, I removed the camera from this bag a dedicated to keep it in and noticed those little curved pieces where the mirror is and I assume the lens wasn't mounted on properly and some pressure may have broken what those black pieces were. Also added some pics where I think those pieces were before not too sure. sorry my camera anatomy isn't too great I'm still learning. the lens basically won't mount on properly leaving that gap there and falls off if I don't hold on to it. I will take it to a nearby Nikon (it is a Nikon d7100) store but I'm afraid they will ask me to buy something new so I would rather get some solid advice here and understand fully before I go.

Hello, I hope you have a good day. I hope my equipment is Canon r50 Rf 100-400 IS USM Rf 24-105 IS STM I'm doing airplane photography, my camera is very sufficient, but I'm having a little trouble with the lens. I'm thinking of a lens that focuses further for me and the lens I'm looking at is Sigma sport 150-600mm. I'm surprised that everyone buys it as if everyone buys bread abroad. Frankly, let me summarize. Is Sigma 150-600mm good or what else can you suggest?

Can these be fixed? And if yes please tell me what I should do. I found them in a dumpster hoping they would work.

• ⁠Budget: 1000 for body, 500 for lens, would prefer less though
• ⁠Country: USA
• ⁠Condition: Used
• ⁠Type of Camera: Mirrorless
• ⁠Intended use: Mostly macro, but would like to work for landscapes and portraits as well
• ⁠Portability: handheld, but doesnt need to be super compact
• ⁠Cameras you're considering: found the lumix s9 which looked nice, and the l-mount lenses seemed good, but was a bit out of my price range, plus i got woried the only reason I liked it was because of how it looked. I am now interested in the Om5, because it would be good with macro, but I’m not sure if it will be good enough with landscape/ portrait/ low light.
• ⁠Cameras you already have: iPhone 16
• ⁠Notes: sorry, hope i filled out this thing okay…

Attached are some (unedited) photos I’ve taken on my phone over the past year

This is a LUMIX GM1, I researched and researched to find the smallest interchangeable lens camera possible for vacations/etc. I decided on this- it was about $550 and another $200 for the lens. I do deeply regret buying a camera and lens as expensive as this, but I do love the photos it takes. They’re not the craziest quality, but they have an incredible vibe and the colors are just amazing for a mindless point and shoot, edit if I want to later camera. The problem is that when people that don’t have that much experience with cameras use it, every time the camera looks blurry and a mess. Even with the auto focus on. It’s confusing why that happens.

But it is so incredible small, especially with this 14mm f/2.5 pancake lens. It fits in the palm of my hand and it almost looks like I’ve got a phone and a zyn can in my pocket when I put in.

Do y’all have any suggestions with this camera? Like how I can best shoot with it, what I should do to help other people shoot with it when I don’t want them to take blurry photos, or any other bits of information that would help me out, being extremely new and uninformed about cameras.

The AF seems to not work properly in spot AF mode but works great in continuous tracking or 1 point AF mode.

• ⁠Budget:~
• ⁠Country:UK
• ⁠Condition: USED

• ⁠Notes: Can anyone help troubleshoot this camera for me. I purchased online, shot after fresh batteries and no film and it shot perfectly. Loaded film, button didn’t press and no shoot. Loaded correctly and now button presses all the way down but doesn’t shoot at all with and without film. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I'm considering buying the a6700 through e-infinity.

Many recommend the sigma 18-50 as a good first lens.

However, the 16-50 II kit lens being only 50 euros with the body bundle, is it worth it starting with this lens, and later on finding a used sigma lens (or new if not found)?

Or is the kit lens not interesting even at this price.

Thought I would share a shot of the builds on the counter. Always interesting seeing how everyone rigs out their gear differently, from compact handheld setups to fully accessorized RED, Sony, Canon, and Blackmagic packages.

If you are a Dallas Fort Worth filmmaker or somewhere nearby and have not checked out Shine Cine yet, it is definitely worth stopping by. Really cool space to prep gear, grab expendables, or just hang out with other local crew.

Is this the future of cameras?

"MIT and University of Maryland spinout building quantum camera platforms for defense and space sensing, today announced strategic investments from Lockheed Martin Ventures"

Had my eyes on the xt30iii for a while now and have been itching to pull the trigger. Was at a camera store today and decided to take another look at it. The employee there said that lots of Fuji cameras are getting a price hike starting today. The $1,449 CAD price for the camera (plus kit lense) shouldn't even have been there but she said she'd honor the "old" price. So I decided to get it then.

But now doing some digging, it looks like I can't find any sources saying that the xt30iii specifically is increasing in price. All the lists im seeing have a bunch of cameras but that one. Im just a little confused rn, did I get played?!😅

hi guys, i just got my sony cybershot stolen so i am in need of a new camera… but i dont know what to buy!!! i wanna spend my money on something that will last me a while and not crap out on me in like a year, and something that i won’t really have to edit the photos a crazy amount to make them look good.

• ⁠Budget: $400

• ⁠Country: USA

• ⁠Condition: new / very good condition

• ⁠Type of Camera: kodak, fujifilm, sony, canon, nikon, olympus, anything really

• ⁠Intended use: just for fun, taking pics of friends, nature, maybe a bit of bird watching

• ⁠If photography; what style: might use for bird watching photography

• ⁠If video what style: old camcorder type feel, not looking for very good quality video

• ⁠What features do you absolutely need: digital screen on the back so i can see the photo i’m taking, video capabilities

• ⁠Portability: want something i can bring to parties in a little case

• ⁠Cameras you're considering: kodak fz55, canon powershot a2100, canon powershot elph 360 hs, other cybershots

• ⁠Cameras you already have: cybershot dsc-p200 (was stolen😻)

• ⁠Notes: nothing

Apologies for the shite photo, lens I used was a bit shit for anything close in, lens pictured is a 50mm macro lens and would have been ideal... It was a cheap ebay find. It's ok for the primary purpose of photographing stuff I've made but it's reasonably good as a general purpose prime. Ideally I'd like to be able to use the filter ring though if I'm using it creatively.

• Budget: Up to $1,000 USD, including the camera body and a lens. I do not have a separate budget for additional lenses or accessories.
• Country: Turkey
• Condition: New or used
• Type of Camera: Mirrorless
• Intended use: Photography, with some casual video/selfie video
• If photography; what style: Everyday photography, portraits, selfies, travel, and both close-up and distant subjects. I’m completely new to dedicated cameras and have only taken photos with my phone until now.
• If video what style: Casual videos and selfie/vlogging-style videos
• What features do you absolutely need: Good autofocus, a screen that is usable outdoors in bright sunlight, and good overall image quality. A fully articulating screen would be very important to me because I enjoy taking selfies.
• What features would be nice to have: EVF, built-in flash, film simulations, and good autofocus for both people and everyday subjects.
• Portability: Very important. I want something small and light enough to comfortably carry with me every day, rather than something that will stay at home because it’s too inconvenient to carry.
• Cameras you’re considering: Fujifilm X-M5 and Fujifilm X-T30 II. I initially really liked the X-M5 and was planning to get it, but I somehow started leaning toward the X-T30 II and now I’m not sure which one makes more sense for me. Both are around the same price in my country, so price isn’t really a deciding factor.
• Cameras you already have: None. This will be my first dedicated camera. Until now, I have only used my phone for photography.
• Notes: This will be the one camera I’m going to buy, and I need it to last me for many years. My family will be buying it for me, and they’re worried that I might stop using it or get tired of carrying it around. Because of this, portability and ease of use are especially important to me.
I wear glasses with a -7.5 prescription, so I would need to use the EVF while wearing my glasses. I know the X-T30 II’s EVF is quite small, so I’m not sure whether it would actually be comfortable for me.
I’m also concerned about the X-M5’s LCD screen in bright sunlight. I’ve read some people saying that it can be difficult to see, while others say they have no problem using it in direct sunlight. Since I don’t have any experience with dedicated cameras, I’m not sure how significant this issue actually is.
I also really like taking selfies, so the X-M5’s fully articulating screen is a major advantage for me. On the other hand, the X-T30 II having an EVF and built-in flash is appealing.
So, considering that this is my first camera and I want to keep it for many years, which one would you recommend for me: the X-M5 or the X-T30 II?
For those who have used both, which feature do you find yourself missing more in everyday use: the EVF and built-in flash on the X-T30 II, or the fully articulating screen on the X-M5?
And finally, is the X-T30 II still worth buying in 2026, or would it make more sense to go with the newer X-M5?
I’d especially appreciate opinions from people who have used either or both cameras. Thank you!

I really want to get a digital camera (I'm in the Bay Area), but I really dont know where I can get it for like a low price. My budget is like $ 200, and I'm okay with it not being brand new, but I want one that's in good condition, but idk where to get it?
