iPhone 15 or compact camera? Do you think those days is it worth to buy a compact camera or still use an iPhone 15? Is the picture quality much better on a compact camera or even DSLr? For example when comparing with Panasonic Lumix ZS80/TZ90, is it worth the investment? submitted by /u/ruijor

How can I get the camera to focus on the subject and not on its immediate surroundings? Using a Nikon D5600 with 70-300mm lens. I love that I was able to capture the bluejay but so sad that the camera blurred it out. The grass around it looks so clear though! Was it my aim that was too low? This was at the highest zoom level so I couldn’t zoom on the bird anymore. Is there a way to tell what the picture will look like before takin…

Is it my camera, the mirror, or my eyes? Idk if it’s because I’m just having a low self esteem week but I feel like I don’t have the face for makeup. I love doing makeup but I feel so lost. It obviously looks better with a filter but without one, it all looks different in different lighting. I like how it looks in the mirror but I hate my face in the camera.

What camera? Hi everyone. I’m a beginner entering this hobby. I’ve been doing research and I can’t get a clear answer.
