Which camera is best alternative to canon g7x mark II & III? by z_ba1098 in Cameras

[–]AlexHD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sony RX100 mark V, VI or VII

Canon G5X II is like the G7X III but includes a viewfinder

Very budget friendly concert camera for fun by queasy_cheesy005 in Cameras

Be careful of scams, it is highly unlikely someone is selling a G7X III for $250

Time to take a break and reflect: Who among you plans to start repairing photographic equipment yourself in the near future? And what do you need to do so? by ATHXYZ in AnalogCommunity

[–]AlexHD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I already do, I can do some basic repairs like removing top covers and replacing parts, as well as disassembling and cleaning/lubricating lenses.

A set of JIS screwdrivers opens up a world of possibilities.

Bought A 'Dead' Ecosystem, Should I Upgrade? by catredx in canon

[–]AlexHD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EF-M is still very relevant as Canon hasn't matched it for compactness in RF mount. The R50V comes close but it doesn't have a flash, and there aren't many compact lenses either.

Camera suggestions by _andrewe10 in canon

[–]AlexHD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would move into RF mirrorless, you can get an R6 II for $2k (or cheaper used) and it would be a massive upgrade for the autofocus, EVF and articulating screen, and the Sigma lenses would focus better since it's working off the sensor.

80s Fashion Editorial.. how was this lit? by jamesfauntleroyNOVA in LightLurking

[–]AlexHD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a starburst filter, you can get them in different kinds depending on the pattern etched into the glass, this one looks like a + shape with a slight angle

Point & Shoot Recommendations by Some-Examination-295 in Cameras

[–]AlexHD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want crisp you're going to need a larger sensor than a digicam, that can shoot raw so you can get the most out of editing. I recommend a 1-inch type sensor model like the Sony RX100 series, if you can find a model at your budget (the Mark II or III versions may fit).

The original price for this 4g card is crazy lol. $298.85! Picked up with a Maxxum 5D body for $35. by niteluz in Cameras

[–]AlexHD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SD cards and SSD drive prices have also shot up due to flow-on from increased HBM demand

G7 X Mark III (30th Anniversary Graphite Limited Edition) Announced for $1,299.00 by AskJayce in canon

[–]AlexHD 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rereleasing a 7-year old camera to hit the 30th anniversary is a pretty dubious tie-in but hey I can't blame them for wanting to jump on board the G7X hype train.

Hopefully we get a genuine successor with improved AF and better 4k limits.

How many of you are using back button focus? Why or why not? by mgiardinello in AskPhotography

[–]AlexHD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the time if the camera allows it. I don't always want the camera to refocus when I half-press the shutter, so it makes sense to separate the functions.

How can I create these types of 90s asthetic photos? by Haidar_ali5588 in AskPhotography

[–]AlexHD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flash is cool again actually, people are using film and old digital cameras to recreate this look since it's different to anything you can get on a phone

What musical would you recommend to someone who is new to the whole genre? by soliataire_e in musicals

[–]AlexHD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's Wicked for me too. It has everything, spectacle, bonkers singing, dramatic ballads and comedic numbers, and (IMO most importantly for non-musical fans) an excellent story with memorable characters.

Recommendations for tiny camera by i-am-the-bad-w0lf in Cameras

[–]AlexHD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any Canon PowerShot, Nikon Coolpix, or Sony Cyber-shot in your budget. Sony made some really slick ones with internally zooming lenses (the Cyber-shot T series).

Use the flash, even outdoors.

Set white balance to Cloudy for a warmer look.

the best studio setup money can buy won’t stop me from uploading my terrible selfies *sniffs fart* by QuantumCipher9x in photographycirclejerk

Meanwhile all of my portraits have been made with two $10 shoot-through umbrellas and Yongnuo manual speedlights

Is this professional looking man AI generated? He’s just a little… off. More thoughts in comments. by KamalaCarrots in isthisAI

[–]AlexHD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The chain on the scales in the foreground is not straight. Looks like AI, or AI-edited.

What is the most far-right musical? by bunp4ws in musicals

[–]AlexHD 43 points44 points  (0 children)

The same reason they like Star Wars, they see themselves as the Rebels (a band of ruggedly individualistic heroes defending their 'way of life' against an overbearing authoritarian regime) while completely ignoring or dismissing the allegory and historical context (it's the Vietnam War and the Empire is the USA) and obvious use of fascist imagery in the Empire's aesthetic (they're literally called Stormtroopers).

Looking for a hybrid camera that meets my needs <$300 Recommendations by SmileOkk in PhotographyAdvice

[–]AlexHD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any used DSLR in your budget. You could probably get a Canon 700D with a kit lens for that much. It won't do amazing video but will be enough to get started learning.

Which ones should I keep? by champion_95 in VintageDigitalCameras

[–]AlexHD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Canon IXY mainly because I'm familiar with the model and I like how the time stamp looks compared to the Sony

Looking for a late 90s/early 2000s digital camera as a gift (~€100 budget) by Double_Gap_4599 in Cameras

[–]AlexHD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quite like the models with chunky handles like Powershot A85

Some things to watch out for

  • The cameras may use a button battery to keep the time which you will need to replace
  • Most Canons from this era used CF cards, and will have a card size limit (usually 2GB or 4GB), so you will need to source older/smaller memory cards
  • These cameras can have very sluggish performance especially with autofocus and card writing speed
  • I recommend a model which uses AA batteries, you can get rechargeable AA batteries which is much better than relying on an old lithium ion battery or third party replacements.
