What to do about compact cameras that seem to keep breaking?

( www.reddit.com )

What to do about compact cameras that seem to keep breaking? I love compact, pocketable, large-ish sensor cameras for everyday carry, but have questions about their durability. Used to have a Ricoh Gr, lots of fun and great IQ, but sucked in dust and eventually the motor in the lens died. I’m reading of similar issues with other retractable lens cameras. I don’t want to carry two expensive products (camer…

purchase advise: quality compact for hiking

purchase advise: quality compact for hiking Hi, I’d like to buy a durable quality camera. I do plenty of hiking and I would use it primarily for landscapes, close-up of small animals and leaves, and the occasional portraits. I currently rely on my smartphone only (Pixel 6a), I used to have Canon Powershots and I quite enjoyed them back then (SX130IS, A710IS, I think). I’m looking for some…

Is it worth getting a compact camera to get back into photography?

( www.reddit.com )

Is it worth getting a compact camera to get back into photography? Basically I used to practice photography a decent amount as a hobby. I started on a Nikon D3300, moved to a 5100, then got a Nikon D7000. I had several primes (24mm, 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm), an 18-140mm, and whatever the stock lens was, and took a decent range of pictures from portraits to landscapes, night sky, and also ended up getting into ski …

The Chevrolet LUV Was A Compact Truck Way Ahead Of Its Time

The Chevrolet LUV Was A Compact Truck Way Ahead Of Its Time The Chevy Colorado and Ford Ranger can trade blows all they want, but Chevy doesn’t have a worthy challenger to the Maverick. No carmaker really does, except maybe Hyundai. Ford keeps winning on the small truck front uncontested. It’d be a real shame for the Blue Oval, then, if Chevy were to release a successor to the … Read more…

Switching from mft to compact camera?

( www.reddit.com )

Switching from mft to compact camera? So, I’ve been using an Olympus E-M1 mk1 for two years now coupled with a Zuiko 12-40mm f/2.8 pro lens. I’ve used it mostly for travel photography and family portraits. I’ve also done some street portraiture but nothing professional. I’ve loved everything about this set up except the bulkiness when carrying it around, especially while hiking or a…

Looking for Compact Camera

Looking for Compact Camera Hello. I am looking for a compact camera to take on vacation. Something 200-1500 dollars in price. I looked at a lot of the comparisons on google but some of them are recommending cameras from 2012. So, I don’t trust them. It would be nice if the Camera was able to take pictures of the stars at night. I’ve never had a camera that could do that…

Searching for a DSLR Nikkor compact lens I want to buy a compact lens such as 18-105, 18-140, 18-200 or 18-300.

Compact (old/discontinued) digital cameras that don’t have a retracting lens?

Film is great but expensive, and I’m looking for something digital. My eyes were set on the Fujifilm X70, however used prices are tough. The GR series have a retracting lens…
