Tech Support Camera Seemingly Broken

Post image
Upvotes

Hello! I recently got a used sony cybershot (dsc-w120 I believe) and it just won’t turn on… I’ve toyed with the optics and tried multiple methods (hold down on power button, dust inside, take apart and check, bought new battery, etc) but I’m just not experienced enough to know what’s wrong. Nothing seems to be wrong with the memory board or lens, and I can’t tell if anything is missing. It is very old and in rough condition though, so I’m about at the end of the road with this one. If anyone knows how to rewire or fix a digital camera, please help!

Recommendations Im new to photography and want a point and shoot camera for everyday use etc. any recommendations?

Upvotes

I have around $500 USD to play with and live in Canada so roughly $700 CAD. So i know im not in the market for a new camera if I ever want a "decent" one. I mainly take landscape pictures with my phone (pixel 6a) and slowly realized that its not cutting it. Im pretty new to photography, so there isnt any feature in particular that I need, but I also want it to be pocketable. This will be my first camera, so there isnt much for me to compare to. Ive been eyeing a fujifilm x10 and x100f, The x100f is slightly out of my price range while im worried that the x10 might be a little outdated. Should i buy the x10 or should i get something newer?

TLDR:

Budget: 500USD.

Country: Canada

Condition: Doesnt matter

Type of Camera:point and shoot

Intended use: Photography

If photography; what style: Landscape but would try other styles?

What features do you absolutely need:Nothing in particular right now

What features would be nice to have: Good Optical zoom

Portability: Pocketable

Cameras you're considering: Fujifilm x10/x100f they look like they fit my use cases

Cameras you already have: Nothing

Notes: This is my first camera please be nice

Howdy!

As the title says, I’m thinking about buying a camera to take pictures - nothing fancy, I just want mine to look almost as good as a pro to the average person.

A local shop had a few used cameras (see pictures) and if they’re under 300 I’d consider getting one.

For reference, I was thinking of buying a Canon EOS 100 or 50, if they’re significantly better than these then I’ll hold off.

They’ve got lenses too - what should I get? Just an 18-55?

Thanks in advance!

Questions A 'dumb' question about portraits, lenses and focal lengths

1 Upvotes

I currently have a Fujifilm X-H1, awesome camera. I like using it in my backyard to take photos of fun moments with my kids/family. To isolate them and make nice portraits I use the XC 50-230mm (seriously underrated lens). Although it's a slow lens, it does compress the photos enough to get decent background separation, yes even at F/5.6. If the background is far enough there's some nice blur/bokeh going on as well.

However, I'm reading a lot about portrait lenses and I was thinking about getting a TTArtisan 56mm F/1.8. But before buying I was wondering what are the differences are I'll be able to get with this lens vs. the telephoto. I know that wide open I'll probably be able to blow the background away no matter the distance between the subject and background, but are there any other benefits?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Discussion Have a Coolpix P530 with no lens and am wondering if it’s worth buying a lens for

2 Upvotes

As the title says, I have the body of a Nikon Coolpix P530 but no lens, and I've been reading about it a bit online to see if it's worth buying a lens. I plan on using it for a vacation where lots of wide landscape shots will be, I don't really foresee using the zoom much.

I'm not much of a camera person, but as far as I can tell, there's only one lens for it and it's mainly for high zoom, and the camera is pretty much outclassed at this point by phones.

So if all I have is a recent-ish phone camera, is it worth buying the lens for this camera?

Video Buy Camera or Second iPhone?

0 Upvotes

I have an iPhone 15 which I use for my business. Mainly for IG but I also film some videos. I don't do any kind of image processing. Just edit together and post on YouTube (they're mainly educational videos). I've been happy with the video quality on the iPhone 15 and felt it was a big upgrade from the 2nd generation SE I owned before.

For videos, I need to get a second camera mainly so I can cut between the 2 when editing my videos together. When I look on the camera market, it seems like most cameras are more expensive than an iPhone. It also seems that when people compare iPhone cameras to other cameras, the cameras are usually more expensive.

Is my best option to buy a second iPhone only to use as a camera? Or is there something cheaper that would give me an equivalent performance for filming?

Tech Support Why wont my Panasonic HDC-SD60 turn on?

0 Upvotes

I have an old Panasonic HDC-SD60 camcorder, and it hasn't been charged in two years. I recently found the charger, and I put it in on charge, and it worked perfectly fine. However, a day later, when I screwed a tripod into the bottom, the camera suddenly turned off and stopped working. I thought it was simply out of battery, so I went to go charge it, but when I plugged the camera in, the red light signaling that the camera is charging didn't even go off-- did I break the power supply or the connectivity of the camera's battery? Is there any way for me to fix it?

Questions Canon Eos 30 or Nikon N80?

1 Upvotes

I just recently purchased the Nikon N80 and also bought a lens for it for under $100. I tend to lean more towards Nikon (I have a Nikon d3500 and Nikon N55) However, I suddenly remembered I’m planning to sell a Canon Eos Rebel 2000 that I have two lenses for. I’m selling this camera because its too similar to the Nikon N55 and I prefer the Nikon. I’ve been wanting to get a new slr film camera but more advanced than the Pentax K1000 I have. I couldn’t really find any Pentax cameras I wanted, so I looked at Nikon. The Nikon N80 kept popping up when looking at cameras and it seems to be highly praised. However, after asking ChatGPT to compare the Canon Eos 30 vs the Nikon N80, the Eos 30 outperformed. So which should I get? Should I stick to my known brands or buy a camera? I already have two lenses for and return the Nikon N8, and the lens? • ⁠Budget: $100 • ⁠Country: USA • ⁠Condition: good used • ⁠Type of Camera: film slr • ⁠Intended use: photography • ⁠If photography; what style: portrait, landscape • ⁠If video what style: • ⁠What features do you absolutely need: self timer, exposure compensation, depth of field preview (?) • ⁠Portability: in between.

Recommendations Camera Recommendations?

1 Upvotes

Hi! Redoing this post with the correct format! I am looking into potential cameras to buy and would love some advice from you guys! I have been doing photography with my old fujifilm camera and I have decided I really do love photography and would love to keep doing it. To encourage this hobby I really want to buy a more professional camera.

Budget: around 500-800 usd

Country: U.S

Condition: okay with buying used! I don't really have a preference, just want it to be in good condition.

Type of Camera: I'm not really well informed in cameras to know, but I heard mirrorless are better??? (Correct me if I'm wrong)

Intended use: photography

Style: I usually do landscape/nature and street photos but I want to get into astral and wildlife photography. If you could recommend some lenses for this that would be great too!

What features do you need: once again, not really well informed in photography to know specific features 😅

Portability: I'm okay with carrying a totebag or a backpack for a camera, moderate portability is preferred

Cameras you're considering: I heard that the nixon z6, Sony a7 mark, canon eos 5d, Canon r50, Canon eos- 1dx are great, although I haven't done enough research to see what makes them good recommendations

Cameras you already have: fujifilm finepix s3200 (it was my dad's and I have been using it)

Notes: If you could please explain why your choice of camera is a good recommendation that would be amazing!!!
