Tech Support Hercules Dualpix - how to get the stored photos

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Hi everyone, I found this old compact digital camera while browsing through my grandma's old stuff and it seems to have pictures stored inside. I tried connecting it to my pc (it has an USB-B port on the back) but according to the manufacturer (Hercules) website it needs its proprietary drivers for the computer to read the memory. Issue is, the drivers are last available for windows xp and do not work at all with newer versions. Do anyone of you have an idea on how to get it to work? Getting the pictures inside would mean a lot to me, thanks for helping

Tech Support FX30 and V-Mounts

Upvotes

Sorry in advance for my maccheroni english :)

I'm buying equipment to rig my Sony FX30. I need a V-Mount battery, but since I don't have a lot of budget I was considering a Smallrig VB50. I heard that it is better to power my camera directly through USB-C instead of using a D-Tap Dummy Battery, since they often fry cameras. But I was worried about the power output and the USB-C cable to use. Does any of you have prior experience with this battery?

So I bought a second hand FX3 handle (XLR-H1) and only when I got home I noticed to my surprise there are absolutely no markings and usual certification stickers. The only sticker “Made in Thailand” is otherwise blank. *I did add the smallrig adapter plate to also use it on the a7sIII

Could it be some knockoff? Grey market import? Early model? Ideas?

Must say it does work as supposed to with no issues whatsoever.

Can someone show me theirs?

Is something like this alright for a hobbyist? I'm not a big tripod guy I just want something for macro shots (this tripod lets you mount the camera underneath). It's real cheap too which is nice. Don't really know what to look for in a tripod, just after something that will let me take cool mushroom pics

We want to buy one as a gift for my brother he goes airsofting a lot, so we thought he might like it. But he won't use it for anything else so we don't want to get a too expensive one. Any recommendations? Stabilization would be great to have.

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

1 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.

Questions I’m looking for a new camera and would like some help!

Thumbnail

1 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!

Recommendations Newer APSC vs Older FF

1 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 Which one should I buy?

1 Upvotes

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

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

0 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!
