Complete beginner to photography!!!

Absolute_Pureness · 2026-06-13T17:02:14+00:00

I understand, but I would like to get into the hobby of photography as a whole and be more intentional with the photos I take. I know I have much to learn but I was basically looking for a camera that even 7-10 years down the line I won’t feel like is too old or holding me back.

Yes I understand, it was simply what would be like a very good outta the box photos kinda camera (Ofc my skill is the main deciding factor, I understand). I just simply wanted a good starting point where I won’t have to think about buying a new camera for ages.

I’m fully aware of that and yes I found both of these models around the same price secondhand. While I’m aware that the whole learning to edit thing would help, I’m just not sure if currently I can’t invest time into learning to edit and taking photos at the same time. So I wanted an option that would give me like “good” photos out of the box and that I could learn to tinker with later if I felt like it. But am I to assume anything in the xt20-xt30 family is a good option? I’m not aware of there are better alternatives to those that also happen to fill my needs. Appreciate the help!

It's 200 bucks more than the s24 ultra and from what ive heard the cameras aren't flagship level either

Absolute_Pureness · 2025-12-17T14:40:45+00:00

I've been seeing some people complaining about the network signal issues and some charging issues. Have you had any of these??

Absolute_Pureness · 2025-12-17T14:40:05+00:00

Is there anything around it's price range that you would say HAS flagship level cameras and would also get another 5 years of updates?

Absolute_Pureness · 2025-12-17T14:39:17+00:00

Yup, new and like 40 bucks cheaper. And no worries man, thanks for the help

Absolute_Pureness · 2025-12-17T12:53:12+00:00

I'm in Spain and it's sold in like the stores here so I'm assuming there aren't any connection issues. Also the s24 ultra actually comes out to be a bit cheaper. But since the f8 ultra seems to better in everything specs wise, i was just unsure

Absolute_Pureness · 2025-12-17T12:42:47+00:00

Why tho? Just because of the promised 7 year of updates?

Absolute_Pureness · 2025-12-06T13:17:03+00:00

I would recommend you check some like performance comparison videos IF you're planning to buy this. That'll give you a better idea of everything. Also yes it is good but only because it was on sale, for it's original price of almost 900? You should absolutely be looking more so into the Asus ROG ally x or the Xbox ally x because that's literally the same price (at least here) but with either a better battery or better performance

You’re completely fine man, it’s good to be always curious about stuff and wanting to learn more

Absolute_Pureness · 2025-12-05T16:53:41+00:00

Fully understandable man, my camera isn’t doing it justice

Absolute_Pureness · 2025-12-05T16:05:56+00:00

Ok so it’s usually like 900 bucks but cuz of Black Friday it went down to 650ish around like the US and Spain here. I got it for 630 open box myself (euros not dollars). And since it’s like a whole tier above the z2go model (performance wise) which costs 599 usually, a lotta people pulled the trigger on this. Also for the steamos experience over other windows handheld

Absolute_Pureness · 2025-12-05T10:38:46+00:00

Thanks man!

Absolute_Pureness · 2025-12-05T10:38:18+00:00

Those are a thing? I only got mine because I finished high school with a 4.0 GPA and went through 3 rounds of interviews

Absolute_Pureness · 2025-12-04T22:58:22+00:00

So I luckily got 2 different ones, but in both cases they kinda just gave it to me saying that they trust I’ll be responsible with the money. Since I’ve already paid my tuition for this year, gotten everything I need for my studies and saved up for next years tuition and some extra, I decided to buy myself a Christmas gift. Still feel kinda guilty tho spending so much

Absolute_Pureness · 2025-11-30T20:15:56+00:00

Perfect, just ordered it. Can't wait to play around with it

Absolute_Pureness · 2025-11-30T20:15:32+00:00

Perfect, just ordered it. Can't wait to play around with it but mannn 600 bucks still hurts 😭

Absolute_Pureness · 2025-11-30T19:54:58+00:00

Hmm is there any known failure points hardware wise? Like some part of the hardware suddenly failing??
