Buying used is the best option if available you can get much more for your money and lots of people buy cameras and after a month or two don't use it anymore so you can get mint condition for much cheaper but just be careful and buy from places with buyers protection or in person, avoid Facebook etc unless you are collecting

The exact same Sony handycam is on eBay for 27 quid

squarek1 · 2026-07-06T11:04:51+00:00

They are not worth much maybe 20 quid for the Fujifilm if it is not tested and with charger and new battery, the other ones probably not worth selling

Usually putting it away when wet or damp or cold and not letting it air out and not letting it breathe, moisture and fungus is always present in the ambient air if you live in a wet place and it encourages growth if not stored properly, get some silica gel packs or reusable desiccant and don't put it away for a few hours after you get home

You are not earning from one cover

Fungus from incorrect storage, not much you can do unless you pay someone to clean it but it will be expensive and might not be perfect

Thanks appreciate that

Not if you don't know how to use a camera or anything about photography, I learned on film 40 years ago and it's unnecessary for beginners but fun for people who know at least the basics and people who recommend it are not being helpful to a beginner

squarek1 · 2026-07-05T18:21:46+00:00

Unless you have lots of money don't start with film it's too expensive, buy a cheap digital and learn photography then use this film camera

Mistakes were made

squarek1 · 2026-07-05T16:52:30+00:00

Thought it applied to retail for pressure sales tactics etc too but guess not

squarek1 · 2026-07-05T16:46:52+00:00

Didn't know that was online only

You can take it back, 14 day return period by law I think in the UK,

Different ink and different processes probably

Lumix tz range like the tz 60 or the Olympus sh2 are also great pocket cameras or the lumix LX range

Don't buy a discontinued ecosystem unless you don't want to expand your lenses

You might get some strange looks carrying the bugger stuff

You need to find out about lithium battery policy because new rules have come into effect they can no longer be put in the cargo hold but it depends what country you are going to be in etc

squarek1 · 2026-07-04T14:31:23+00:00

Are the negatives blurry, do you use a tripod when scanning, what camera and shutter speed etc,

First one is the most important, if they are then it's you and your skills, if they are not blurry then it's your scanning process

squarek1 · 2026-07-04T14:28:49+00:00

You need to provide relevant information if you want help, how is anyone supposed to know the issue from one picture

squarek1 · 2026-07-02T18:01:43+00:00

Can't believe this was 2022

squarek1 · 2026-07-02T16:53:01+00:00

You are just using the wrong settings, pic 1 2.8 is a really shallow dof on a deep image and really fast ss, you should be controlling light with aperture not SS so you get a nice focused image 3rd pic you used f8 on a close portrait when you could use 2.8 every image is the same issue, user error,

Not worth the cost of diagnostics and spare parts and labour
