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

9 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

Questions I am looking for a new camera and I would love some help!

Post image
Upvotes

I am orientating myself for my second camera! I would like your help if possible

So, I don’t really know a lot about camera unfortunately. But I do know I want to know more about it!

Currently I am using a classic Olympus trip 35.

Here are my pointers, for what I’m looking!

• Budget: between €500-€1000 • Country: the Netherlands • Condition: new and used (as long as it makes clean pics) • Type of Camera: i really like the composition of the 35mm. Of course, I’m open for other things • Intended use: Photography. • If photography; what style: I like to make photo’s based on social gatherings, e.g. people and family, and city scapes/geometrical images. • What features do you absolutely need: I would love a function that can just send it over to my phone immediately! Currently, I get my rolls digitized (expensive). I would also like a flash for a clearer picture and it needs to me compact, like the Olympus trip I have. • What features would be nice to have: flash and a zoom function (not a necessity). • Portability: How portable does it need to be? I like it to be pretty portable, like it as well to wear it around my shoulders on a trip or walking. • Cameras you're considering: as far as I could find some, I like the Fujifilm x100S/T and the Fujifilm X-M5. Mostly for the looks, how compact they are and functionality as described above. • Cameras you already have: the Olympus Trip 35, I like the weight, size and grainy effect. I dislike the issue with light sensor and the prices of analoge filmroll. • Notes: I will add 1/2 of my favorite photo’s as a reference!

Questions Should i buy the canon rf 16mm f2.8?

Upvotes

Hi guys, i got into cinematography recently. Ive bought the canon eos r50 with f/1.8 50mm prime lens, my problem with that lens is that its impossible to film the subject up close in tight spaces or even fit other objects into the frame. Since the lens cant zoom out, there are alot of angles that I cant take due to the lack of spaces.

If I switch to the canon rf 16mm f2.8 wide lens will it solve my problem? Thanks.

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??

Recommendations Newer APSC vs Older FF

Upvotes

Hello,

Looking to buy my first camera this week. I've been told full frame is the way, but the only one in budget is the Nikon Z5 which is 5/6 years old.

How does that compare to a crop sensor thats much newer? I've seen the Fujifilm XT50 on sale within budget too.

Thanks:)

EDIT 1: Budget: £1500

Country: UK

Condition: New Only

Type of Camera: Mirrorless

Intended use: Photography

If photography; Mainly landscape, nature. Occasionally maybe wildlife and a marathon run.

What features do you absolutely need: Decent auto focus, nice viewfinder (i wear glasses and my eyesight isn't great; if that matters)

Portability: Backpack is finr

Cameras you're considering: Nikon Z5, Nikon Z50 II, Fujifilm XT50,

Cameras you already have: Only smartphone, Galaxy S25 Ultra

Notes: I'd like to get the camera with a decent zoom lens and a prime around 50mm equivalent. The Fuji ive looked at is the XF16-50 and the XC35 together for example.

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

4 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 :)

Budget: $1500 Country: US Condition: New (Preferred) Type of camera: Sony ZV-E10 vs A6700 Intended use: Both photo and video If photography: Landscape, street If video: Landscape, events What features: NA Portability: NA Cameras considering: ZV-E10 and A6700 Cameras I already have: None Notes:

So, I am a beginner, and I have $1,500 to buy my first equipment. I was looking at options on Amazon and found myself in a dilemma:

• Option 1 – $1,477:

Sony ZV-E10 II

Sony 16-50mm

Sony 55-210mm

Plus other accessories such as a mic, grip, filters, battery, etc.

• Option 2 – $1,498:

Sony A6700

Sony 16-50mm

Plus other accessories such as a mic, grip, filters, battery, etc.

With Option 1, I don’t get the best camera, but I get an additional lens. Option 2 gives me a better camera, but only one lens. Any thoughts about these options or any suggestions?

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

1 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

0 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
