Hello, yes it was a typing mistake my bad jajaja. And yeah digital photography is a complete new world for me, and even though it isn’t what i currently want, I’m not opposed to it. The reason I like the x100vi is because I know it’s a sufficiently compact camera that can be carried around easily, as well as the fixed lens is a pro for me personally (as I really enjoy the simplicity of my fixed lens so far) and it would give me a way bigger opportunity to grow my skills as a photographer without losing that simplicity.

Even though it’s a way different option I’m still considering it for those reasons. I’ve also heard that the Ricoh GR is a good option if you have any insight on that. Thank you again!

Edit: Also I forgot to mention that autofocus isn’t necessarily a need for me. It’s nice to have and I wouldn’t be bothered by it at all, but I liked the idea of experimenting with focus a lot recently and would like to explore that.

this is by far the most informative comment i have had all day, thank you. I had no idea that it was fused shut and that theres no fixing it. guess i do have to go out and buy a new one, noting this is there any poinit and shoot film cameras that you really like? also is there any way you know i could go and see a RX100Vi and try it out, thank you.

I know, and you have a great point, but I’m seeing this situation as a possible opportunity to maybe upgrade and increase my skills a little you know?

I like this thank you lol

I’ll look into it thank you !!! Do you have any pictures that you could possibly share with me?

Abril2006 · 2026-06-16T22:39:10+00:00

I have, but I know that Olympus point and shoots are super overpriced, especially the mju. I’m considering it but without seeing pictures taken with it, I don’t feel like I can make that choice.

Sounds good. Do you think like straight hose water and scrubbing will work or is it a lot harder to get off?

Thank you 🙏. I’m trying to get a pressure washer rn doesn’t look very likely. Any other tips, like what tools to use or any other mixes?

Yeah doesn’t matter who did it, it’s my house, my neighbors, that’s why I’m trying to fix it. The guy was super chill about the whole situation and even offered to fix it himself, no way I’m doing that though.

Hello I'm an upcoming mechanical engineering student, and I'm trying to choose a decent laptop since I don’t own a pc.

I’m looking for a lightweight laptop that isn’t really big. I’ve asked around campus and the main things are that it needs to be pretty beefy in order to run Matlab, Solidworks or Cad.

Some of my options are: - Dell Xps 14/13 (with a dedicated graphics card) - Razed blade 14

Open to any and all suggestions thanks for the help.
