What camera should I get to replace my broken 700D? Hi all A few weeks ago my 700d wouldn’t turn on, so I took it to my nearest service centre and they said it would cost around £200 to repair — way over the cost of the camera. I’ve had it since it came out, and I remember buying it for about £700 which is probably around £1000 in todays money, and before that I had a 350d. I think now I’ve reach…

Suggestions on Canon M100 Lenses? Hello. I’ve had a Canon M100 since 2018, so about 7 years now.

Recently though, I started going to events like festivals and music shows where I would like to use a camera to take photos of the artis…

Is aperture equivalency a thing? Hey, I’ve always thought that there was some kind of equivalency between sensor sizes like focal length do. But these last few days, watching some photography content, I heard people saying omitting the equivalency for aperture (for exemple for a Ricoh GRIII “28mm eq, f2.8”) or someone talking about how great his compact camera was for low light…

Ideas for hanging photos in progress… ? I have been printing a lot of photos lately—any size from 3×5 to 12×12. These are photos that are all works in progress, so I am not looking for framing and permanent hanging solutions. But I like to have them up on the wall rather than stacked up on limited table-top space. I’d thought about something like some string line across a few tacks, t…

Canon SX530 Worth Using on a Safari or Stick to my iPhone 14? Hey everyone; Complete noob here. I’m headed on a safari later in February and my aunt had given an SX530.

If so, what lenses do you recommend and how many batteries do you usually pack for somet…

Crazy photos/modified cameras?
