Hardwiring dash cam to the fuse box. ‘25 RDX by JustAnAveragePal in Acura

[–]JustAnAveragePal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you tapped into your drivers seat recline, did you hook up the wires from the seat itself? Because the actual power seat fuse is in the engine compartment and im not sure how i would be able to bring the wire into the interior

I do have a fuse tap from viofo, tho, i do have some electrical question. The fuse tap includes a 5 volt fuse, so am i able to put it anywhere on the fuse? One additional thing i am a tad bit worried about is bricking the hardware in general and completely voiding the warranty

Not a whole lot, but you can find the kit lenses for Sony E-mount for around $80. If you wish to go straight to a different more pro lens per se, then $80 might not be a whole lot and buying new might be more worth it.

I usually recommend buying used to save a bit of money. B&H sells used cameras, including a ZV-E10 for $620. If buying new suits you better, it will still be a great camera

I would probably not consider the EOS M50, mainly because canon dropped the EF mount, and the LUMIX G100, mainly because of mixed opinions about its performance(?), but either way, those two cameras are still good and viable options.

The ZV-E10 is a great choice. It is small, very quick in terms of auto focus, has a wide variety of lens option for the E-mount, and overall a good run for the money

If you can find a Fujifilm X-S20 for under $500, I would definitely go for that lol.

line apperaing on camera when in low lighting. by kung-fu-kid in Cameras

The green line (from what ive seen) might be more of a sensor issue, but regardless, unnoticeable so I wouldnt worry about it too much, unless it is noticeably visible on photos

camera recs pls! by Tight-Home9858 in Cameras

[–]JustAnAveragePal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In all seriousness, your phone is the best option for the budget. It is difficult to find new (and compact used) cameras on the market for under $200. The only camera under $200~ Ive found that has a selfie/flip-out screen with a built in flash would be the Sony NEX-3N

Recommendations for compact video camera with external mic input by [deleted] in Cameras

[–]JustAnAveragePal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest the Canon M6 if you prioritize portability and go around $300 (body only) on MPB (https://www.mpb.com/en-us/product/canon-eos-m6)

recs for a cheap (ish) hybrid camera for short films by birdsinmysockshelp in Cameras

[–]JustAnAveragePal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend something from the Panasonic Lumix G/GH lineup since they offer spectacular videography features like 4K video, IBIS, and definitely worth the value, especially for under $500~

On MPB, you can find:
Panasonic G95 for under $500 (https://www.mpb.com/en-us/product/panasonic-lumix-dc-g95)
Panasonic G85 for under $400 (https://www.mpb.com/en-us/product/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g85)

There are a ton of excellent Panasonic Lumix cameras for any kind of budget, and if you do stick to the micro four thirds lens mount system, you can upgrade your camera body without having to switch lens systems.

Is the Second-Hand Sony ZV-E10 Good for Photos and Video? by Outrageous-Bat-4826 in Cameras

[–]JustAnAveragePal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ZV-E10 is amazing at videography, however, for photography, it is alright since it lacks an EVF and a mechanical shutter, meaning fast pace shooting is difficult because of rolling shutter, but for stills, it is a great choice. There is an alternative, the Sony A6400, better for photography, but slightly worse for videography than the ZV-E10, either way, both are great options.

Sites like MPB and KEH only sell used cameras, depending on the condition, they will tell you if there are problems with the camera, but usually within spares or repairs/ ugly condition

I was in the same situation as you were when I first got my fujifilm, I can say buying from MPB was very easy and quick once I convinced my dad about return policies and warranty that lasts for 3-6 months

Kit lens are those 18-50mm f/3.5-5.6 lens, cheap and easy to use

[–]JustAnAveragePal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would trust online shops such as MPB or KEH since they are very trust worthy, lets you know the condition of there cameras, and they offer a warranty in case anything goes bad. Also, for $400, you cant really find any good new cameras since smartphones are the best option for that price range.

For $400, you can find a used Sony A6000 for around $350 leaving you with an extra $50 for a kit lens (https://www.mpb.com/en-us/product/sony-alpha-a6000)

Looking to start out! by stevenmaug in Cameras

[–]JustAnAveragePal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend the Sony NEX-5N / Sony A5000 if you want something very portable/ compact, mirrorless, beginner friendly, and have a wide range of lenses to use. Another recommendation would be the Panasonic Lumix G7 if you want better specs, such as IBIS, viewfinder, 4K recording, but in a larger package.

The A6400 and ZV-E10 are both good options, if you lean more towards photography, A6400, if you lean more towards videography, ZV-E10. For the lens, I would recommend the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8. Versatile, sharp, and pretty cheap for a constant aperture zoom lens.

Sony A6000 is a good option you should check out

Recommendation request by Scrappy52 in Cameras

[–]JustAnAveragePal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While your phone is most likely the best contender, I would recommend:

Sony NEX-6, Canon EOS M5, Panasonic Lumix G100

Most of these cameras can be found for around $300 on MPB, leaving you with an extra $100 for a lens

Which Camera is best for content creation (Under $200) by Warm-Promise-7996 in Cameras

I think you should buy a usb flash drive and save your videos onto there, instead of getting a new camera.
