r/Cameras

Im just curious. Glass is obviously important, but besides this, what made you buy into your current system? Ergonomics, build quality, color science, technology?

I just bought a Canon r50 and checked its counterparts from other brands are like twice as expensive. Is there a catch with Canon r50 or Canon is just a cheap brand.

Hello I recently just bought this Sony cyber shot w-200 with two 16gb micro sd cards but it’s only letting me take 35 photos and once I take more than that it shows “file error”, I try formatting again but it was still the same. How can I fix it?

Ik the canon g7x is popular from social media, but the rise in price for how old it is is not worth it to me. I'd like a portable camera that's able to take nice quality pictures of buildings, landscapes, people, etc mainly for traveling, just wanna capture memories in good quality. Budget ideally less than $800 or so. Any recommendations?

Hey guys, I recently dug up an old Fujifilm FinePix (pretty sure it's an AV200 or AV230 based on the 14MP and 3x lens). It still powers on and takes photos, but as you can see in the pics, the LCD screen is totally destroyed and the outer plastic of the battery door has snapped off.

Does anyone happen to have a dead one of these sitting in a drawer they'd be willing to part with? I'm hoping to harvest the screen and the battery door to fix mine up.

I'm based in India, so I'd cover whatever the shipping costs are. If anyone knows a good source for finding these specific parts online besides hunting through eBay, I'd appreciate the advice too!

Hi,

This is very odd as it’s my first Reddit post and I never tend to do this but I’m quite desperate and maybe delusional. My camera got stolen from a car on November 8, 2025. Since then, I have reported the crimeand given the crime reference number to my local cash converters and CEX. I have registered my camera and lens on stolencamerafinder and lenstag. Not as much anymore but I would track Facebook marketplace and Vinted and eBay. The police surprisingly managed to find the guy (who turned out to be homeless and was well known for crimes and would steal just about everything random even cards and blankets) so it makes me think he could’ve only sold it somewhere close by. I’m aware it’s been a couple months however given his proximity to where I live I was surprised I didn’t immediately find my camera the day he stole it. I didn’t expect the police would find him let alone sentence him. I live in Leeds if that helps and he committed his crimes in Leeds and Bradford. Is there any other thing I can do to try and find my camera it’s extremely valuable to me. A shed was found very close to me where he stored a bunch of stolen stuff but my camera wasn’t there (no surprise). If there’s a way to track down the last photo taken on it that would be helpful.

Paid for 2-day shipping on a camera order from Panasonic (March 26).

It’s now day 10+ and the item hasn’t even shipped. Tracking is dead.

Support just keeps giving me the same scripted response: “we’ll email you.” No timeline, no real help.

This is equipment I needed for work, so now I’m literally losing money because of this delay.

At what point is this just considered failure to deliver?

Anyone else run into this with Panasonic? Trying to decide if I should just chargeback and move on.

Notes:

im just looking for some advice on the topic i would appreciate any advice or tips on the matter, I'm not a photographer and I have no intention to be one Im just a big fun of photo albums but the camera in my phone isn't giving me what I would hope for (the nostalgic feeling mostly)

Budget: $500 - $1500 CAD

Country: Canada

What style: Various

What features do you absolutely need: Quick and accurate autofocus, great low light performance (flash would be great), raw file format, higher mp would be great to crop in to photos

Portability: More portability would be better. Would love to take it out to events, but wouldn't want to be lugging around something too chunky.

Cameras you're considering: Fujifilm X-T30 iii (don't know many others, thats why I'm here, but I think I like Fuji)

Cameras you already have: Nikon D5300

Notes: First real camera purchase

Hello. I need some help as I'm getting the itch to upgrade my camera, but I don't actually know much about whats available these days.

Probably about 15 years ago, my dad acquired a Nikon D5300 through his work, which he let me use when I was first getting into photography. Fast forward to now and its still the only camera I'm using. I just never had the money to start really investing into photography, and the Nikon took acceptable photos so I was okay with just hanging on to that. I still don't necessarily "have the money", hence the large budget range, but I think its time to get a meaningful upgrade to my hardware.

I like to take a wide range of photos. Down the line, I know I'd have to invest more into various lenses to suit my needs. But overall, I would just like to have a "pick it up and go" type of camera that I can take on a hike, or out to an event, or to take family photos/portraits, or even to do night time landscapes. Image detail is very important to me, so I think that means a larger sensor is what I'm looking for, but that comes with a higher price as well. Although I feel I can handle a camera very well, my knowledge on the hardware side of things is pretty limited. Again, I just never really saw myself buying a brand new camera, so I just made due with what I had and didn't worry about specs.

I think, based on the haphazard comparing of different brands and models, that the Fuji X-T30 iii should fit my needs well paired with the right lenses. Its hard to tell without some real opinions though. Am I trying to spend more than I need to for my use cases? Should I spend just a little bit more in order to get something I'll really be satisfied with for the years to come? There seems to be so much out there. As much as I do love photography, I don't see myself realistically being able to afford a new $1500-$2000 camera every year or two so I'd really like this purchase to last.

Any help is appreciated!

Hello so Im just new here and I literally just made this account to ask photographer's opinion about the olympus Mju II. I've seen alot of videos online about this film camera being great and overall still kind of useful til this day if you're into film photogragphy. Now i would like to know if its still worth to go for that camera (Im sure its a little pricey cuz its considered vintage nowadays) And what do u guys recommend alternative for that film cam. Im new to photography and I just want my camera to be point and shoot like less hassle.

I always wanted to get into cameras, i've been using the iphone 17 for a while but I wanted to get something different mostly for when I travel and memories. (I already used up like 200gb of my phone just from photos)I really really love the colours of the gr3 and how portable it is. I want it to be something I know I will bring around easily n often so definitely not a big camera (pocketable size) eSo Ricoh is my top choice from what I've seen but I'm open to suggestions!

My budget is around $1600aud and I'm in Australia. I'm not too fussed about not being able to film videos as I have a phone for that already but it's a nice feature to have. I want to buy a camera that is going to be at least a pretty significant or noticeable upgrade from my iPhone cameras (I've had iphone 14 Pro and iphone 17). I mostly take pictures of scenery, food and pets so more point and shoot stuff.

I also looked at canon g7x mark iii and sony zv-e10 for similar size and price point as well. Thank you for any suggestions!
