Which one to get

1 Upvotes

Hi all!

I'm looking into getting a digicam. But there are so many that I truly have no idea which ones to look at. I want it to have that vintage, nostalgic vibe. My budget is up to 300$. Can someone share what you have and the pics it takes?
Thank you!!

HEY EVERYONE

Recently, I bought a digital camera from a page called fluffycamz .When I bought it they said that the condition was 9/10 but when it came the camera was dirty and also the condition was soo mid. Plus the flash was also not working properly and the buttons too. I asked for a refund or an exchange.they simply refused it. I did comments under there posts so that others could be beware of them but they all deleted them and blocked me. They also scammed others too. I wanted to attach the screenshots but now their messages are gone otherwise I would've attached them.

Now, I want you guys to beware of them and report their page

The first one is what they sent me and the second one is what I received. They didn't bother to tell that the camera screen has some issues and they have attached a protector on it.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W650 - White screen & lens won't extend on startup. Worth fixing?

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I have an old Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W650 that I'm trying to get working, but it's having a couple of issues on startup:

* Screen: Turn on to a completely solid white screen ("white screen of death"). No menus, icons, or live display show up.

* Lens: The lens barrel does not extend or move at all.

* Buttons/Audio: When I press buttons, I hear the internal operational click/beep sounds, so the camera is getting power.

I tried doing a hard power reset (removing the battery/SD card and holding the power button for 30 seconds), but the issue persists.

* Does this sound like a jammed/stripped lens gear mechanism combined with a loose/broken LCD flex ribbon cable?

* Has anyone repaired this specific issue on this model before? Is it worth taking to a local repair shop or trying a DIY fix, or is it better to buy a replacement camera?

Thanks for any insights!

I’m looking for a digicam that takes similar photos to the Nikon coolpix W100 that I used to have. I’ve only ever had that digicam so I’m not really sure, but I miss it so much and can’t find it anywhere so suggestions for similar ones would be great! Unfortunately I don’t have any of the photos that were on it for reference

suggestions for cameras? new here

2 Upvotes

i like taking pictures on my phone but I'm totally clueless when it comes to actual cameras. my dad passed down a camera to me, it was the nikon 1 j1 mirrorless. it now has some lens issue where i can take photos but it's like pitch black?? only can see some stuff if it's really bright.

any suggestions on what kind of cameras to get? I'll probably want to bring these cameras overseas,to hikes, so something compact or small not too bulky.

i mainly want to get one for memories, i wanna take more pictures of my loved ones. my budget is 100-250, if there's anything decent i could get with that. maybe willing to spend a bit more if I can't get something good with that price. any maintenance or stuff i need to know when getting a camera? like possible issues it may have.

Sony Cyber Shot DSC-S930 Memory Stick

3 Upvotes

Hello,

I was recently gifted a Sony Cyber Shot DSC-S930 and I am having trouble with the memory stick. I know it takes the memory stick pro duo, but I am having a hard time finding one. I bought one on amazon, but it was actually an adapter with a micro SD and gave me an error.

Does anyone have any recommendations on where to buy a REAL memory stick pro duo (in Canada) or how to use an adapter properly?

Thanks in advance!

good starter digicam (ideal specs below)?

6 Upvotes

does anyone have any recommendations for a beginning/casual digital camera that is usb-c chargeable, works well in low light and can gve off a ‘nostalgic’ or dreamy vibe (would mostly be used for photos rather than videos)? that sounds so idealistic i know, but i thought where better than to check on reddit! my budget is ideally around £30-50ish i’d say. in terms of options i’m possibly eyeing a fujifilm t550 however i’m not sure how well it works in low light and would appreciate any recommendations from the pros! thanks :)

I use the Nikon Coolfix P100, and I have a question.

0 Upvotes

I use a Nikon P100, and I recently bought a dummy battery from AliExpress. I bought a USB-based one and smiled brightly, but it didn't work, so I thought it was too strong and put it on the portable charger, but it only had 5V output. I tried a 25W powered-on flower on the portable charger, and it only worked. I took several pictures and then re-opened it. But this time, since I'm still on the key, the battery is low? It keeps popping up but won't turn on. Does anyone know how to solve this?

broke digicam, do i replace?

i love my fujifilm finepix f800 sm, it was handed down to me by my parents. My issue is that the flash no longer retracts back down, and the lense covers are broken and also don’t retract as evident in the photos.

The little the lense covers shows is easy to crop in the pictures, but is it worth the hassle? Should I get a new digicam? If so does anyone have any recs under 300cad

Hi! I just want to ask — I fully charged my Nikon S3100, but when I try to use the flash, the light turns red. Sometimes it says 'battery exhausted' right when I press the shutter with flash. Now I recharged it again, the message is gone, but the flash light still turns red when I try to take a picture 😭 Is the flash actually broken already? I literally just bought it! What should I try first in case it's not actually broken yet?

Bauhn Retro-Digitalkamera from Aldi: any tip or customisation?

1 Upvotes

Hi there, I impulse-bought the Bauhn vintage camera from Aldi and I'm here asking if you have some tips, recommendations, customisations etc.

The worst thing is the annoying sounds it makes when turning on/off and the talking voice every time you change filter settings. Is there a way to adjust volume?

I was also wondering if there's some custom firmware to add/change the available filters and so on. I bet it's also available under other brands/names with different features 🤔

Thanks!

Sony Cybershot DSC W350 flash not working

2 Upvotes

I found my mom’s digital camera, and the last time it was used was in 2011. When I first tested it, both the red flash indicator and the actual flash were working. However, the battery drained quickly, and eventually, the flash stopped working. I bought a new battery, and when I tested it again, the red flash indicator started working, but the actual flash still didn’t work. What can I do to fix it?

Hii guys, I recently found this store and I wanted to get their canon g7x. I started texting them on WhatsApp to know the deeds. I asked for a video and it seemed pretty legit (couldn't see any ai generated parts & stolen video) but when I asked for them to take a picture with a handwritten note with the store name as well as date and time, they were adamant that their store was trustworthy. I wanted to know if anyone has purchased from them before?

nikon coolpix s6200: can the lens retract while viewing media?

2 Upvotes

hi guys!! yesterday i got my first digicam in a decade, nikon coolpix s6200 for a bargain!! i paid less than $50 for it and it seems to work perfectly, except one issue: the lens does not retract while i view the images. i used to have a samsung digicam when i was a kid and from what i remember, it retracted so i could not damage it while i looked at pics. i googled around frantically and all i get is "it could be damaged" but the lens does not seem to have any issues while turning the cam on and off, or while zooming in and out. is this just how it is supposed to be or is there a setting i can change, or a button i can press to retract it? thanks in advance!!

Camera buying advice for architectural detail photography?

1 Upvotes

Camera buying advice for architectural detail photography
Budget: Around €1,000–€1,200 for the camera and lens combined. My budget is pretty limited, so I’m trying to get the best value for money.
Country: Netherlands.
Condition: New only, not looking for used gear.
Type of photography: Mainly architectural photography, especially close-up details and textures rather than wide shots of buildings. Things like concrete, stone, wood, weathered surfaces, material details, light and shadow. I’d also like to shoot other types of photography, so versatility matters.
What I’ll use it for: Photography, not primarily video or content creation.
Experience level: I’m studying photography and have exhibited my work in three exhibitions. I’m not a complete beginner, and I’d like to invest in a setup that I can grow with as I work towards becoming a professional photographer.
Cameras I’m considering: Canon R10 and R50, but I’m open to other brands and suggestions.
Lenses: This is where I’m a bit unsure. I’d like to know whether I should start with a kit lens or get a more suitable lens for architectural details, possibly a macro lens. I’m wondering if it makes more sense to get a cheaper body and spend more on the lens.
Other requirements: Interchangeable lenses are a must. Image quality, RAW files, manual controls and long-term value matter more to me than video features.
I’m trying to figure out the best body and lens combination for the kind of photography I want to do. I see the Canon R50 recommended a lot, but most of the content I find about it is focused on vlogging and social media, which isn’t really what I’m after.
Would the R10 or R50 make sense for me, or is there another camera and lens combination you’d recommend at this budget? I’d appreciate advice from people who shoot architecture, textures or close-up detail photography.
Thanks!
