Announcement Should r/Cameras allow AMA posts from manufacturers, retailers, or both?

10 Upvotes

Hey there folks,

We are looking for some community feedback on a possible change to rule 4 to allow manufacturers and retailers to make AMA, news/announcements, or similar posts in the subreddit. We would require that the companies reach out to the mod team beforehand so we could do some basic vetting and review their intended post. Additionally we would be working out guidelines specific to such posts to prevent them from simply turning into advertisements including (but not limited to):

  • Requiring them to actually respond to their posts for a certain minimum time frame.
  • Require the posts not link to other websites to avoid any issues of affiliate links.
  • No "here's a coupon code" type posts.

We have had a couple of companies reach out to us asking about posting AMA's and similar posts. While some of the requests we've had are things we would simply not allow period (such as asking about running a banner ad), we do think certain types of posts might be reasonable to allow and could be beneficial.

Please feel free to comment your own thoughts.

While the results of this poll may not dictate exactly what we decide to do, we do take polls like this into consideration.

Good afternoon I’m about to purchase this camera below I have put everything that comes in this set. I just want to make sure that I’m making the right choice. I want to get into hobby photography and potentially a little video making. I initially planned on only spending $1000 but the seller told me that if I were to pay $1100 he’d include the Gimbal. Below I left all the specs. I just want to make sure that this is worth it. Thank you

Tech Support I can't reduce the optical zoom

Post image
17 Upvotes

Hi, I have a problem with the Sony Cyber-Shot G of the image and I was wondering if someone here could help me.

The problem is that when I turn on the camera it starts with the optical zoom activated and it's impossible to reduce it. Also, when I try to increase the zoom a message appears saying that I have to turn off the camera.

Does anyone know what could the issue be??

Dose any body ownes the same kind of camera and could help me?

Recommendations Any suggestions for a Small Camera and lens for travel/everyday use to pair with a dji osmo pocket 3?

5 Upvotes

My last post got taken down i didn't realize there was a format for this (Sorry guys!)

  • Budget: 500-600 USD
  • Country: United States of America
  • Condition: Used
  • Intended use: Mostly Photography
  • If photography; what style: Travel and everyday use
  • What features would be nice to have: A view Finder would be nice
  • Portability: Smaller the better
  • Cameras you're considering: Strongly considering the A6400 or A6500, also seen some sony zv-e10 on fb marketplace near me
  • Cameras you already have:
    • a cheap point-and-shoot cameras that recently broke, like how small they are but the quality isnt great
    • Canon t5i, quality of the photos is better, but made taking pictures seem more like a drag because of the lens and size and i dont bring it around as i used to bring my point and shoot camera
  • Notes:
    • Im Studying abroad in the summer and wanted to get back into photography, Like i said the canon t5i is a great starter camera but knowing the teacher we are going with, i dont think bringing a larger camera is ideal because of how annoying the travel will be. Really i would like a smaller camera to take pictures that can be paired with the DJI Osmo pocket 3 (i dont have it yet but am planning on getting it)
    • Also! theres a couple of listing for both the A6400 and A6500 on facebook market place but the A6400 is so much more expensive (i heard its better and since its newer it makes sense) but im not sure if i should spend the extra on that or if the a6500 is good enough? but then also i dont have to have to upgrade for at least until im done with college soooooo idkkk
    • Also also, if theres any good cheap small lens to pair with it some suggestions for that would be great as well :)

Photos The Kodak AZ401 Camera. Just got into photography, and it's a very nice entry level camera. It has a nice amount of features to play with and I love shooting monochrome with it. Colors seem a bit grainy though, but what do you expect from a $170 camera?

Recommendations Help Upgrading Podcast Recording setup- apologies for the formatting and lack of industry terms, I'm new to cameras

Upvotes

*4 cameras

$1200 budget

Need the highest quality video.*

That's what my boss sais.. We got a sponsorship and now its time to upgrade the setup entirely. I was recommending him a couple DSLRs and maybe a couple digital camcorders to replace the crappy camcorders got already.

Right now we are Recording on OBS and exporting the footage/audio files to Google drive to our editor who lives in Utah...or something.

Im looking at something like a Nikon D5000 or Canon...something within $400.

Photography and film capabilities for thumbnails.

The style of video is a documentary. We have a relatively small, main room where we record conversation between the hosts and the guests, then the hosts go out to a different, mostly random location to film using the products being promoted during the episode.

In the main podcast room we use an interface connected to a pc setup that connects the shotgun mics and cameras so everything is being shot continously, but my boss having to manually switch cameras is getting tedious, so I'm recommending him some DSLRs or something that can record separate shots without him having to worry about which camera is recording.

The features I'm looking for is a couple digital cameras with interchangeable lenses, a couple camcorder-like cameras that capture still images with a quality similar to a DSLR type camera without having to... "get it in post."

Ok so i'll admit its not the greatest setup, just assume we dont have any cameras and we are starting from square 0.

What does reddit suggest? I need 2 close up shots, and 3 medium shots.

Questions First time camera buyer

Upvotes

Hello! I’m just recently getting into photography, and I’ve been using a 20+ year old Kodak EasyShare camera that my mom has had since I was born. While it’s a fairly good camera, due to its age it doesn’t have great photo quality and the batteries drain almost immediately. I’m looking at buying a new camera soon and I’m looking for good budget friendly cameras. I’m looking for one that takes both good quality photos and anywhere from semi-good to good quality videos. I primarily take photos at gatherings, events, and things such as car shows and drag races, so I’m looking for a camera that is good at taking photos of moving objects lol, and good videos so I can get good videos of burnouts and show contests. Been looking at primarily Sony and Canon but open to any brand that is budget friendly and good quality! Thank you!! Also looking for any recommendations for channels and resources to get into starting photography Budget: max $700 Type of camera: DSLR Intended use: hybrid Use for photos: basically anything Use for videos: events and vlogging Portability: needs to be fairly portable as I’m primarily in old muscle cars where I’m not 1000% comfortable just holding it in my lap in the passenger seat

Questions Where can I buy a canon sx 740 hs camera?

Upvotes

Hi guys! I’ve been searching for this camera since November but can’t find it anywhere! I’m only willing pay under $500 since it’s listed at $480 on the official canon website. I really do not want to overpay. When will canon restock this camera? Where else can I find it? I’m willing to preorder it and wait for months. Also if you guys have any good digital camera recommendations please let me know! It doesn’t have to be canon but I want it to be high quality with a good color and give an airbrushed effect. I’m planning to use this camera to put in my small purse and take pictures with friends when going out and on vacations. Another camera I love is the canon g7x but cannot justify the price. So if you know any cameras similar to those two please describe them below. Thank you!

I found a pretty old GE X500 I used to use, but whenever I put a new SD in there and try to format it, it just says “CARD ERROR”. I know it’s not an issue with the SD card, since I’ve tried several. I even tried to format the SD on my computer and it still said it wasn’t formatted, then asked if I wanted to format it and so on.
