External flash mount stuck to D3100 hot-shoe. Any tips on getting it unstuck/ off? I recently (like 30 minutes ago) got hit pretty hard at a hardcore punk show with my camera in my hand, and my (cheap) external flash broke completely off. But the mount is still jammed into my D3100’s hot-shoe. Is there any way to get it unstuck, or is it totally screwed? Thank you! submitted by /u/Spaghettiboi_64

Do you use electronic shutter?

Do you use electronic shutter? I just got an access to my new office’s Fuji X-S10 that can do proper electronic shutter (coming from my Canon RP’s electronic shutter that only works in auto and slow). I know it can have sound, but just doesn’t feel right especially with the lack of shutter shock that I’m used to. So I reverted back to mechanical shutter most of the time. The …

iPhone 15 Pro vs RX100Vii vs ZS100? Hobbyist. I have an A7R3 kit that I enjoy using for landscape (sunset/sunrise) and a ZS100 from an abroad trip in 2019 that has been stowed pretty much since (just never fell in love with using it but that’s probably on me for not giving it more effort). I enjoy the act of taking photos, but never got into enjoying the process of editing (comput…

Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 + Speedbooster on Canon M50 – Worth It? I’ve been looking into upgrading my lens setup for my Canon M50, and I came across the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM. With a Viltrox speedbooster, it seems like an amazing combo. I found a used Sigma 18-35mm on Amazon for way cheaper than on the official site. Now, I’m wondering—has anyone had experience buying second-hand lenses from Amazon? Is it…
