r/Cameras

what do you think about this camera? another camera similar to the kodak charmera?

Not because it's the best.

Maybe it was your first DSLR, a point-and-shoot you carried everywhere, or a film camera that just has too many memories attached to it.

I've noticed photographers are surprisingly sentimental about cameras compared to most other gadgets.

What's yours, and why?

Ik very small budget but please help a broski out , just need something cool

- Cheap

- Actually working

- quality doesn't matter much but a cool aesthetic camera would be appreciated

- country - India

- prife less than 5 thousand rupees

Budget: 4000€

Country: Germany

Condition: New

Type of Camera: Mirrorless

Intended use: Photography, but recently also video (we have a festival at school and shoot ‘trailers’ for it. It’s obviously not very professional due to the lack of budget, but we’re trying our best as some of us want to end up in film school)

End use: Entirely for myself, some video for school (still nothing commercial where I require extreme reliability at all times)

If photography: landscape and macro, maybe wildlife?

If video what style: mostly documentary and action shots which MAY require high frame rates

What features do you absolutely need: Weather sealing, articulating screen, viewfinder, high FPS video recording (at least 180FPS in 1080p), log color profile, good AF tracking

What features would be nice to have: RAW video recording, open gate, 120FPS 4K, USB-C disk recording, recording and being plugged into power at the same time (preferably with a battery inside the camera too so if AC power fails it can continue recording)

Portability: How portable does it need to be?camera body under 1kg, able to comfortably hold with one hand

Cameras you're considering:
LUMIX GH7
I can stay with the MFT system I already have great lens for, it records in V-Log, 120FPS in 4K, 240FPS in 1080p, ProRes and ProRes RAW, open gate, has USB-C recording and power and recording, has an OLED viewfinder. It’s MFT tho, it’s not very great in low light :///

Canon R6 Mark III
Full frame. Can record in open gate, 4K 120FPS, 1080p 240FPS, RAW, 15 stops of dynamic range. 40FPS photo shooting, I heard that it has very good AF detection and tracking, as well as IBIS, but doesn’t allow any third party RF lens.

Nikon Z6 III
Full frame too. Can record in 6K, open gate, 4K 120FPS, 1080p 240FPS, RAW video, ProRes and ProRes RAW. Precapture for a whole second at 120FPS. Supposedly very very good EVF.

Sony A7V
Yet another full frame. No open gate or internal RAW recording which is… sad :/// Can record in 120FPS 4K, 240FPS 1080p, albeit with an APS-C crop… But it’s the best in photo amongst these four as far as I know, with good AF, IBIS, 33MP partially stacked sensor and 16 stops of dynamic range

Cameras you already have:
Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II.
Absolutely amazing camera. I love it. It’s just so light and handy, but sadly it’s a bit older and the video isn’t very good (although the stabilization is AMAZING). It cannot record 4K in any frame rate higher than 30FPS (obviously we produce at 24FPS, so the extra 6FPS are completely useless). The autofocus could definitely be better, especially tracking in video.
Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K (school equipment, not mine)
So, this camera is horrible for photo. But it’s also not made for that, so it’s okay. I really like the colors it can produce, with BRAW, ProRes and ProRes RAW recording. Additionally, it can record to an USB-C disk while also being on AC power with battery backup. Although the power connector is atrocious, it locks which is actually quite useful when running around plugged into a V-Mount battery. The screen is huge and has a bunch of video specific features like false color. On the other hand, the AF is just straight up horrible. It’s pretty much as bad as having no AF. It can only focus on the center, and has NO AF tracking AT ALL.

Notes: I have a bunch of amazing Olympus MFT lens (7-14mm f/2.8 pro, 60mm f/2.8 macro, 40-150mm f/2.8 pro, 12-40mm f/2.8 pro and a 1.4x teleconverter).

If I chose to go full frame, I think I would stay with my current Olympus for telephoto because 1. I already have the lens and 2. They’re LIGHT. For full frame, I’d probably get a macro and general lens (like the 12-40mm I have, but obviously 35mm equivalent so 24-80mm). Maybe a nice really fast prime for portrait shooting?
Another option would be selling my whole setup and starting new with FF. I need advice on that topic too.

Budget: Body only SGD $1000
Country: Singapore
Condition: Used
Type of Camera: Mirrorless
Intended use: Photography only
If photography; what style: portraits, steet
What features do you absolutely need: tilting screen
What features would be nice to have: EVF
Portability: Pocketable, shoulder strap
Cameras you're considering: I’ve been looking at the following Fujifilm cameras as I want to have a go at their film simulations! X-T3, X-E4, X-M5. I can consider other brands but something I would like is nice JPEGs SOOC

I'm looking for a 4–5L sling that can pull double duty as both a camera cube and an everyday sling.

My current setup is a Nikon FM2n with three manual lenses:

• 50mm
• 28mm
• 105mm

At the moment I use the Topo Designs Camera Cube (photo attached). It's fine for storing inside my backpack while traveling, but it's not particularly comfortable or convenient once I'm out shooting. Ideally I'd like something that works as a camera cube inside a backpack, but can also be worn as a sling without having to transfer everything.

The two bags I'm currently considering are the Rework Toshi 5L and the Moment Everything Sling 4L.

My biggest concern is protection. The Toshi looks fantastic, but I'm wondering if it's padded enough for camera gear. The Moment seems a bit more camera-focused, but I'd love to hear from anyone who's used either bag with an actual camera kit.

Are there any other 4–5L slings you'd recommend? I'd prefer something that doesn't scream "camera bag," but still offers enough padding and protection for an FM2n and a couple of lenses.

Thanks!

I currently have the iPhone 14 Pro. Thinking about upgrading to the 18 pro this year when it drops. I technically don’t need a new phone (my phone works just fine), but it’s definitely showing its age in terms of battery life and quickness with apps opening.

I used to have a couple old canon cameras (I have no idea what they are but they were like 2010-2014 era) and I loved them but I have no idea where they are in my parents house.

My ultimate question: do I spend money right now to buy a point and shoot camera for travel, everyday, hikes, etc., or do I wait to buy the newer iPhone in September and potentially get a great camera out of that as well and be able to pay it off over time?

Notes: I love the look of the g7x iii in terms of color science, zoom capacity, flexibility of shots, etc, but I can’t afford that price tag right now. I’ve looked at the Sonys and fujifilms but FF is too expensive, and the Sony I would want is basically the price of the g7x.

TYIA!! Any help would be appreciated.

Is there a free app with no subscription fee I can get to take pictures within app or to edit pictures (not my preference to edit because I feel like I will never edit them) so it can look like G7X digital camera photos? I have an iPhone 15 for reference but I don’t want to pay digital camera price tag nor do I want to be walking around with an extra device. Photos are just for mainly family, friends and a few followers on ig.
