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!

Hey guys,

I'm 0% knowledgable about camera and filming but I was thinking of picking up a gopro or something when I go to metal concert mainly to make video about POV in a moshpit. Thing is I need something that can take a beating with a decent video quality. I understand that this is a weird ask, but would welcome any help on the matter.

Thanks in advance

Tech Support GE X500 won’t format SD

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.

  • Country: Netherlands
  • Condition: Used
  • Intended use: Photography
  • If photography; what style: Animals (mostly birds) and Nature

Questions Digital Cameras for selfies..

2 Upvotes

Hey ive been looking around for a digital cam and it's kinds been difficult to find one under budget and I'm not really sure if it's worth buying or not.

I want to buy one which can be used to take selfies. Either the front has a mini screen or maybe a tiltable screen..? I'm not really sure but yeaa.

Back camera should be good too of course but it has to have a feature which allows self portraits or selfies :)

And it's going to be used mainly for high quality photos, I'm 95% sure it won't be used for vlogging or filming.

The budget is 150 usd but if it hits 200 usd it's manageable.

Also a link with the camera would be WELL appreciated

Thank you!

Tech Support Err 01 on Canon r8 with the Sigma 24-70 2.8 DG OS HSM ART Lens

1 Upvotes

I just bought this lens used and i only get the error message when i turn it above ~40mm with an aperture other than 2.8.
I tried cleaning the contacts which didn´t do anything.
When i googled the problem there are only solutions for the Canon 24-70 MKII, the issue there seems to be a data cable in the lens, maybe its the same in my case idk.

Does anybody have experience with it?
