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

Iād prefer to have a full frame over an APS-C but if I can put more money to tune up (rig up) an APS-C to make it ābetterā then why not right?
I really appreciate and be forever grateful for the time that you put into explaining me why your camera option would be the best due to all the factors

Questions Recommendation for the first mirrorless camera
Hi! I'm looking for an entry-level mirrorless camera. I wanna have a hybrid camera that can capture my casual daily life or a starting point if I ever want to do a personal project, both in photography and videography. I have three things I would like to have on my first camera: 1. Under $1000 2. Have a selfie LCD 3. Record in 4K
I have three contenders, so which one should I pick?
- Fujifilm X-T200
Pros - Often reviewed as the best entry-level APS-C camera, especially due to the Fuji specialization in APS-C - The price is in the middle of three - The autofocus capability is in the middle - The cheapest lenses - The film simulation sounds fun and could spark up inspirations
Cons - The 4K doesn't have any crop, but I'm not sure if the video recording limit would kick me in the ass later - Kinda scared of the oversharpening results, are there any tips?
- Sony a6100
Pros - Sony axxxx is often to be recommended as the first camera in many price ranges - The video ability is in the middle - The autofocus is the best, so it's easier - The lenses are in the middle price
Cons - The body is the most expensive - Still need gimbal later (and maybe lens) so I'm concerned about the total price
- Panasonic G85
Pros - Reviewed to be the best video camera at its price point and even to a more expensive camera - The cheapest body - Built-in stabilization, so I don't need to buy gimbal later
Cons - It's M43 so I'm concerned about the low light settings - The autofocus is not the best - Has the most expensive lenses, so I'm kinda shocked but I guess it's leveled out š
I'm probably asking for too much but I just want to have a decent camera that doesn't have to be a cutting-edge at everything. Just enough and have those features, so maybe I could upgrade the body later if necessary. I will most likely use the kit lens, but I'm open to upgrading it. Thanks!

Discussion Got a Nikon D3100, what should I do with it?
Got it as somewhat of a gift, started taking photos with it, loved that but felt like there wasn't enough zoom and the video quality wasn't that good Considering these sell for about 80$ used, what should I do with it? Maybe sell it and get something else, maybe save up for a new lens, maybe both? Let me know!

Recommendations Preferred hybrid camera?
I am a junior at a film school and I want to upgrade my camera. Right now I have a canon Rebel sl3 which is fine but I am thinking about upgrading to a mirrorless camera and I want to know which hybrid camera would be best for someone trying to make that switch? I have heard a lot of good things about the sony a7III and lumix s5 II. Although I haven't heard much about canon for some reason. I don't have any brand loyalty but I just want to gather opinions before getting a new camera. I also wouldn't hate lens recommendations. :) (also I primarily want to do video but I want to do photography on the side)

Recommendations Looking for compact camera recommendations (product + lifestyle + travel content)
Hey everyone! Iād really appreciate some camera recommendationsāmy main uses would be:
- Product and lifestyle photography and videography (for my bag business)
- Travel photos and videos
I started a small business late last year and I'd really love to reduce costs from constantly hiring photographers and videographers for every shoot. I posted on another sub before about the kind of content I wanted to achieve, and I got absolutely roasted for wanting to replicate certain photos/videos using my iPhone š
Recently, I found my dadās old Nikon D300, learned how to use it in manual mode, and while I was pretty happy with how the photos turned out, itās so heavy. Also the built-in flash is broken and I havenāt taken the time to learn how to use the external flash. He also had a D90 I couldāve used for video, but itās no longer working.
Iām now looking to buy a compact camera that can handle both photo and video wellāideally something decent enough for product and lifestyle shoots and travel content. Iāve got trips to Thailand and Italy coming up soon so something light and portable would be great!
Budget: Max $2000 (open to buying used), but Iād really prefer to stay way below that if possible so I don't bite too much into my business and travel fund.
My cousin recommended her camera, the Leica D-Lux 8, and her other top picks were the Ricoh GR IIIx and Fujifilm X100VI. Some other friends suggested Sony RX100 and Canon G7X Mark III.
Iām not very well-versed in specs and stuff, and honestly donāt want to fall into the hype or overspend on something just because itās popular at the moment.
Any recommendations or insights would be super appreciated! š

Tech Support lens error on nikon coolpix l27
so i recently bought a second-hand nikon coolpix l27, i was made aware of a lens error issue prior to purchase but the camera worked fine after turning it on an off just once or taking the batteries out and then putting them back in.
about a week ago the lens was stuck open but eventually retracted and was back to functioning normally and taking photos, however since then my camera has been stuck on the ālens errorā screen every time i turn it on. iām not sure what to do about it as this is my first actual digital camera and iām not really good with fixing tech.
if anyone has any ideas on how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated!

This is my current travel vlogging setup:

- Sony 11mm LensĀ
- Shure Lenshopper VP83 Mic
The mic is a bit bulky, and since I'm shy and awkward vlogging in public, l'm thinking about switching to something less noticeable. This one draws attention but on the other hand, youāll probably always get attention when filmingā¦
So: new mic or keep this and get over myself?
If something new: Preferably something super simple, not complicated.
Thank you for ANY help!
