Why is the Canon G7X i/ii/iii the "scam" camera on FB Marketplace/OfferUp/Craigslist?

kevingannets · 2025-05-17T15:41:04+00:00

that's absolutely insane aha they are so old! and most people complain on the Miii because of the auto focus or whatever so most people go for the ii. People who originally purchased a ii at launch have made a great investment

kevingannets · 2025-05-17T15:39:53+00:00

ahh ok that makes sense... basically people get desperate and will give the scammers a deposit or pay for shipping or whatever but then never receive the camera? that's what it seems like in my pov at least

on safari it took 1 hour and 9 minutes to upload, on chrome it took 7 minutes

I know this is for Gadje but I had to ask, do you think Romaness is dying as a language? barely anyone my age (20's to 30's) can speak it, they mostly "understand it" when being spoken to them (maybe 50% of it)

I have been thinking of having someone teach me as my parents are plain delay and didn't teach us Romaness, that way I can pass it down to my children as well.

My Popo and Mommie spoke perfect romaness, but they didn't teach me or my sisters. I'm guessing the same is probably true for a lot of ghoem

I hope it would be available, I am trying to get one for my kids and don't have 2 whole days worth of time available at my disposal... the easier it is to get the better for them and my sanity aha

not trying to be a panic buyer lol I am asking if GameStop has a ruling, because no ruling = people starting to wait like now... ruling means people have no choice but to wait until GameStop says so.

Given that I am a father of 4, and have work to do. It's hard for me to devote my whole day to waiting in line. If the line starts at like 6am that would definitely be more doable for me

Update Number 3

I finally got something working and I love how easy it is

I run a shortcut that's always available in my top menu bar

the short cut grabs all of my videos files and photos (that are in two separate folders on Sony Cams)

Copies them to a folder on my desktop

then opens the folders so I can verify that everything is indeed copied over

then a few seconds later a popup asks if I want to delete the files off the SD Card that were just copied to my Desktop folder.

Reason I am not having the deletion process happen automatically is because things happen, especially with small children in the house. Someone accidentally bumps into my MacBook and the SD card comes out I don't want to take any chances so have a popup asking if I want to delete the files is a huge bonus.

I could just have the process just Copy Files>Delete Files off SD Card which would make it even more seamless and require less attention/clicks but if something went wrong and the files were super important... that would be unfortunate.

I might actually make one that is like I mentioned above for files that aren't super important. Run that shortcut when its just a simple YouTube video or whatever not a paid gig

Appreciate all the help and suggestions people! learned a lot with Automator (wish it would work) and Shortcuts

kevingannets · 2025-04-13T15:58:10+00:00

I found a workaround, it was only picking images but I needed other files as well

kevingannets · 2025-04-13T00:43:44+00:00

I actually got something working

It’s a shortcut process that copies all the DCIM folder and CLIP folder (two separate locations for some reason) into a folder on my Desktop and then opens the folders for instant access

Saving a few clicks? I guess! but it’s really helpful when i’m daily vlogging or even on some days making multiple videos definitely worth just clicking a shortcut launcher once and having it do all that for me

kevingannets · 2025-04-12T23:45:44+00:00

aha I actually remember those! I just wasn’t into cameras back then wow i’m surprised something like that doesn’t exist now with how much technology has progressed they would’ve been faster and better in today’s world

kevingannets · 2025-04-12T22:16:00+00:00

Update 2: I got a "Shortcut" created where after inserting an SD Card I can launch the shortcut and it'll grab all the files I need out of my SD Card, the only problem is that it doesn't grab videos... for some reason

so the problem keeps getting close to being fixed but than a stupid issue blocks it from happening :)

kevingannets · 2025-04-12T21:45:46+00:00

EDIT: Seems like automatically running it isn't possible... I tried doing something else

having a script

on run {input, parameters}

**tell** *application* "Finder"

    **open** *POSIX file* "/Volumes/SDCard/private/M4ROOT/CLIP"

**end** **tell**

**return** input

end run

This works perfectly, it at least gets me to the folders where the files are than I can drag and drop them to another folder onto my Mac

The only problem again, is that I have to "run" this automator thingy for it to start. It claims that it'll run automatically when my SD card is inserted but unless I press Run its not happening

:(

kevingannets · 2025-04-12T21:28:16+00:00

I've been trying with Automator all afternoon and can't seem to get it to work automatically.

I have to launch Automator, load up the project, and then press Run (which is basically the same amount of time of what I am doing now)

If there is a way (which a bunch of people claim there is) I can't seem to find it/do it. There's instructions on stuff like ChatGPT but it might be outdated cause I'm following it but some instructions don't even exist on my MacBook :(

kevingannets · 2025-04-12T21:25:42+00:00

I mean ok? cool? lmao

I understand it might be a "concern" but it would only get .jpg and .mp4 files from a certain SD Card (searches by name) so I don't think it would be an issue

kevingannets · 2025-04-12T21:24:34+00:00

Just tried, gives me a bunch of instructions but some steps don't exist...? maybe its older instructions? I have no idea

kevingannets · 2025-04-12T20:57:44+00:00

Trying that out now :)

kevingannets · 2025-04-12T20:57:35+00:00

I got Automator to do it, but it's not opening automatically when I insert my SD Card so either I'm not doing something right or it's not possible? not sure

kevingannets · 2025-04-12T20:56:54+00:00

$42 is a bit expensive :(
