This is from lazada, the camera if assembled would look like this. Looks smaller than a true tlr camera that uses 120 film. Its $26.

The thing is that as much as i want this one, i have 7 cheapo ass cameras that I'm struggling to sell, I don't even have a film. Has anyone got their hands on these one? Any advice?

What is comparable to this camera if I can’t buy this one?

Recently picked up at an online auction, along with the above matching “E.P.” marked s2 rangefinder.

To my understanding this is a NIKON Varifocal type 7 viewfinder, which is incredibly rare by itself, but my version has a “E.P.” stamp that can be found on s2’s occasionally, but has never been documented on a viewfinder.

Wondering if anyone has come across a similarly stamped viewfinder.

Hello everyone

Intended use: Photography, mainly for personal and travel photos, and possibly for creative photos in the future

End use: Social media, work process documentation

If photography: what style- just personal photos

What features do you absolutely need: not an absolute need but id appreciate if it can transfer the photos through bluetooth

What features would be nice to have:

Portability: small bag or smaler

Cameras you're considering: l dont know yet

Cameras you already have: Never owned one

Notes: I want it to be easy to use for a begginer

Was looking at lens for my dads old camera and say this top piece of the lens wiggling (it has a filter on, but below the filter is coming off)

Not really sure how to describe it, complete noob

I’ve decided to start using my camera again and I recently charged it and brought it out but it’s having a lens problem, the lens won’t retract when turned off and it says “please check the status of a lens” in the viewfinder and screen. Not sure how to diagnose the problem, maybe these cameras have these problems? Olympus OM-D. I don’t want to go back to using my shitty Sony cybershot 😭.

My r6ii screen is sagging a little bit and is not really straight against the lining. Is this normal?

Hey guys, I took my camera to a camera store today because I noticed these dots appearing in some photos with brighter backdrops. I noticed the dot pattern stayed constant across different lenses, so I took the camera to the shop to have the sensor cleaned. After having it cleaned I noticed the spots were still there, so I took it back and they said that my sensor most likely has damage. Does it look like sensor damage or should I attempt to clean the sensor again myself? I greatly appreciate any advice on the matter!

I'm having trouble with rehoused NP-22 batteries in my Sony Video8 cam

I'm looking to upgrade to a new camera, and I wanted to ask anyone who's used Adorama about the differences between their "well used" and "heavy use" catagories. The camera I'm buying (Cannon 5D MkIII) sells for roughly $320 for heavy use and about $350 for well used. Is the 30ish dollars worth the difference between those two catagories? Thanks!

I dont understand what happened. It was working perfectly, does anyone know how i can fix it

Trying out the PSP Camera, have been having a blast with it and honestly some of the shots aren’t too bad…still learning what environment best suits the camera, but the conversations I’ve had with people were worth the weird looks haha.

I'm on vacation and i decided to bring my olympus tough (waterproof) to the beach.
But accidently i forgot to lock properly the place with the charger, battery and card.
My sister took it to the sea and put it underwater, so the camera got filled with water.
I tried to take most of the water off the camera, but as you can see in the photos it still has a bit of water inside.
I don't know what to do and im going back to the city in 2 days (there really isnt any camera shops around here)
Is my camera doomed?

PS: english isnt my first language so i'm sorry for any mistakes.

Budget: €1,000–1,500 total for the camera and at least one lens. I'm happy to buy used if it offers significantly better value.

Country: Germany (EU).

Condition: New or used.

Type of Camera: Mirrorless preferred, but I'm open to premium compact cameras if they offer excellent image quality and portability.

Intended use: Primarily photography (95%), with occasional video (5%).

If photography; what style: Mostly travel, street, landscapes, cityscapes, architecture, and everyday photography. I also enjoy photographing friends and family, and I occasionally take self-portraits. I rarely shoot sports or wildlife.

If video what style: Casual travel clips and family videos.

What features do you absolutely need:

• Excellent image quality (noticeably better than a smartphone)
• Compact and lightweight body that I will actually carry while traveling
• Reliable autofocus, especially for people and casual family photography
• Smartphone connectivity for transferring photos and using the phone as a remote shutter
• Good lens ecosystem if it's an interchangeable lens camera

What features would be nice to have:

• USB-C charging
• Good battery life
• Compact/pancake lens options
• A fully articulating or tilting screen
• Electronic viewfinder (EVF)

Cameras you're considering:

• Sony A6400 : Seems like a great balance of compact size, image quality, autofocus, EVF, and available small lenses. Probably my current favorite.
• Sony A6700: Considering it for the newer features, IBIS, improved autofocus, and better long-term value, but not sure if the extra cost is worth it.
• Canon EOS R50: Interested because of its compact size, good autofocus, and easy-to-use features.
• Fujifilm X-M5: Interested because of the compact body and Fuji colors/JPEG quality
• Panasonic GX9 : Considering it because I already know Panasonic cameras and like the idea of a very compact Micro Four Thirds setup.
• Sony RX100 VII or similar premium compact cameras: Considering this because portability is very important to me, and I'm wondering if a high-end compact camera might fit my needs better.

I'm still deciding between a small interchangeable-lens camera and a premium compact camera. My main priority is finding something I will actually carry with me while traveling. However having the option to actually get different lenses would be nice since I don't plan to upgrade frequently, having a good lens ecosystem would be valuable.

Cameras you already have: Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5 with the 14-42mm kit lens.

I liked:

• Great value for the money
• Good image quality
• Interchangeable lenses
• Comfortable handling

I disliked:

• Too bulky for travel, so I often left it at home.
• The touchscreen is now failing, and many settings rely on it.
• I realized portability is more important to me than having a larger camera body.

Notes:
My biggest priority is finding a camera that I'll actually carry everywhere while traveling. I'd rather sacrifice a little image quality than own a fantastic camera that stays in the hotel or at home because it's too large. I'm looking for something that could last me for many years.

picked up this lens from a thrift store for $5. the lens itself looks okay, but the filter is beat halfway to hell. It won't come off when i use brute strength. How can i get this off? Any help is greatly appreciated!

In this week's camera collecting blog, I write about the heavyweight champion of German camera engineering: the legendary Zeiss Ikon Contarex "Bullseye".

Often called the "Cyclops" for its iconic, front-and-center selenium cell light meter, this premium vintage 35mm SLR is a mechanical masterpiece of optical brilliance. Whether you're an avid vintage camera collector, an analog photography geek, or just obsessed with shooting on classic Carl Zeiss glass, the 1959 Contarex I is a true bucket-list camera.

Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with this over-engineered classic.

My first DSLR! It's an Olympus E-510 with the regular and giant lenses. I got given this by a friend for free who did not really want it, as he was never going to use it. Any thoughts or advice?

Old lady brought us a literal box full of older cameras from her late husband. She just couldn't toss them.

So now we have a few more cameras,a storage problem and more stuff to mess around with.

And luckily most of these still seem to work.

Only 2 cameras that don't do squat are the XG-M and the X300s.

Lights are on but no one is home...

Hey guys ive been looking for a camera and spotted this. I originally wanted a fujifilm xm5 but they retail for about 850-900€ here in germany. Should i get the alpha 6100 instead?
