Higher MP camera brings out flaws of lens? I’ve been into photography for about 2-3 years now as a hobbyist, using a Canon M50ii. Being a student with limited pocket money, I’ve focused on purchasing photography gear within a tight budget.

As a beginner to photography, which Fujifilm camera + lens should I buy? Hi there, I’m looking to get into photography as a hobby and really love the post processing filmic effect Fujifilm cameras apply without having to do any manual post editing. I have a budget of up to £1000 but would prefer up to around £800. I’m not really interested in videography, so cameras with flaws in video aren’t a problem for me. I’m …

digital camera battery recommendations? Hi redittors! I currently own this Fujifilm A850 Digital Camera and I’m in need for any AA battery recommendations as I think that the currently batteries I own, the Panasonic 1.5V Alkaline AA Battery (pic 3) drains quite fast and can only last me half a day (also increases battery waste cuz I keep throwing it out). I’ve tried a few other brands…

iPhone vs. Camera? I am strongly considering buying the iPhone 16 Pro Max in the fall for the new AI features. It wouldn’t be much due to carrier discounts. Should I still get a mirrorless camera?

Camera for this kind of photography? I never got any replies on /fujifilm so posting here for help! I got into photography through film photography. I own 3 film cameras (2 olympus, and 1 fuji (klasse s)) and briefly had ricoh grii.

Looking to get into photography again, is a Nikon D3400 a good camera for a beginner? I’ve been looking at cameras for days and am becoming overwhelmed lol. I’ve taken photography classes back in college (6 years ago) and used to do it a lot during my teenage years. It’s been a few years so I’m unfamiliar with a lot of things nowadays with photography and cameras. I used to shoot with my Nikon D50. That camera has since flunked o…

Street photography camera that you can actually get? Every article I read in street photography basically points to the Ricoh GRIII or the Fujifilm x100 series, neither of which have been in stock for months (or they are marked up like crazy). What are the other solid choices? My use case is I’m getting back into photography, and I’m working in the city a few days a week. I’d like something relat…

Used Canon Eos 6D for first camera? I’ll preface by saying I have no real knowledge of photography and I haven’t even owned a camera since the early 2000’s when I had a Sony Cybershot DSC-T77 that I took along on camping trips and whatnot. But I’d like to learn and my Samsung S7 camera just isn’t cutting it anymore, haha. I mostly just take pictures of wildlife and scenery as I wo…

Light painting-esque artifacts over a static subject: can this be done in camera or does this involve post-processing? First image is an example I saw on IG. Second is a shot from the same post without artifacts. I was just wondering if the blue/yellow streaks are attainable without editing. submitted by /u/GelatinousPower

Pentax’s new $500 film camera prioritizes style over quality That is one quirky-looking camera. | Image: Ricoh ImagingI used to lambaste the very idea of half-frame cameras when I was a college student obsessed with medium- and large-format film (who wants even less resolution than 35mm?), but electing to shoot film today is already a conscious decision to compromise quality for the sake of experience and…

Decent lightweight camera options for long hikes or just use a phone? I have never had much interest in photography to be honest, but lately a bunch of people have been asking to see photos of my trips. I’ll often go on “long” hikes ranging from 1 week to several weeks. I prefer not to carry too much weight, and I also prefer to keep my phone off and preserve battery because you can never be certain when you may n…

Best starter camera for a social media manager? Hi friends, I was recently promoted to SM Manager at my company (yay!!) and need to capture LOTS of content.

Changing a video camera’s focal distance using a macro lens attachment – will it work? Hello all, I have a Xiaomi C300 video camera, but it seems to be able to focus only on object which are at least 60cm away, but I would like it to focus on an object that is 30cm away. If I place a macro lens attachment (like those that people buy for their smartphones) in front of the camera’s lens, will it effectively bring the camera’s focal…
