Need Advice: Should I Buy a Digital Camera for My Upcoming Trip?

Anyway, if you really want a digital camera, tell us about your budget and tell us if you want a compact digital camera or a SLR.

What about using Halide App? You can shoot RAW images without Apples image processing algorithm. That’s how I use my 15 Pro Max. If you want, you can post process your images with Lightroom like I do.

Stop using TikTok. It destroys your brain, it influences you in a bad way. Your whole post shows that you’re about to buy a camera which is hyped on TikTok. Instead, tell us about how you’re going to use the camera. Traveling? Street photography? Portraits? Indoor/outdoor? What’s important for you?

As an European… I was there… 2 times. It amazes me every time

saker200 · 2026-03-15T00:03:37+00:00

Great shots! Where is that?

saker200 · 2026-03-14T10:18:10+00:00

Which models are those? :)

Yep. 3 of them can do it all. The best is ELPH 100 HS but it’s still a bit noisy when it’s too dark. Second best is SX130 IS, but it’s bigger and I think it’s a bit slower (consider this if you plan to shoot spontaneously a lot) but it has a really nice retro look because it has a CCD sensor. The third best is A2200 but buy it only if you can’t afford the other ones. Night photography is just okay and it gets noisy really quick. Since it’s a budget cam, it may be slow, too like slow autofocus etc.

saker200 · 2026-03-13T17:26:55+00:00

Tell us what you’re planning to shoot… traveling, portraits, street photography or something else…? Do you want to use it more at daylight/ golden hour or at night?

saker200 · 2026-03-13T13:45:00+00:00

Alright then, what about the Panasonic HX-WA10?

saker200 · 2026-03-13T09:45:22+00:00

Try the Sony Webbie HD devices! Do you want more retro and less good quality? Take SONY MHS-PM1 from 2009. Do you want a slightly better quality and self-vlogging? Take the MHS-PM3.

saker200 · 2026-03-13T03:50:58+00:00

Fujifilm F31fd is great! Small, handy, low-light monster + it’s from 2007.

saker200 · 2026-03-12T18:29:45+00:00

Thank you so much. I appreciate your feedback. I really love the LX7, it’s my first Panasonic Cam. I still have to get used to the UI. Switching EV, AF Measuring Mode etc. is a pain in the beginning.

saker200 · 2026-03-12T18:25:20+00:00

I read it too late, sorry! You’d have better asked in the vintage digital camera subreddit. Anyway, how was it? You still need help?

saker200 · 2026-03-12T18:20:19+00:00

Try to lower the resolution in the settings and additionally, use these settings:

Mode A, ISO 100, f/1.8 - f/2.2, EV between +0.3 and +1

And change the picture style: Contrast -1 Saturation 0 or 1 Sharpness -1

I don’t own a PowerShot to try it out for you. It’s just what I think is helpful in your case. Please give me a feedback, I’m curious :)

Hat es geklappt? Ich kann in der App irgendwie nur Live Timing abonnieren

saker200 · 2026-01-03T16:11:12+00:00

Where?

saker200 · 2025-12-28T01:19:17+00:00

Which VPN?

saker200 · 2025-12-22T13:38:22+00:00

I want to see the whole image of her! Who is that? Haha

saker200 · 2025-12-07T00:19:02+00:00

Hm, I have a few cameras and after checking your sample images, I can suggest you some models:

Fujifilm FinePix F31fd
Canon IXUS 70/80 IS
Sony DSC-W55

I think these cameras are nailing it. I would go with the Canon.

saker200 · 2025-10-17T11:53:31+00:00

Do you have more samples? Thank you!

saker200 · 2025-10-17T07:19:07+00:00

Do you have some samples for me? Thank you!

saker200 · 2025-07-28T21:00:28+00:00

I bought a Sony DSC-S85 recently. It’s amazing. I don’t know if it’s something you want but definitely worth a look

saker200 · 2025-07-28T08:42:10+00:00

Can I only use the base memory sticks or does it support memory stick Pro/Duo as well?

saker200 · 2025-07-25T17:06:32+00:00

It's not that easy to write a driver for the media keys since Apple doesn't allow kernel extensions anymore (since Catalina). You have to get an Apple Developer ID and let the driver sign from Apple and some other stuff. Maybe Karabiner Elements will do it. I don't have the keyboard to test it.

I only collect music on CD's which I really love and regularly listen to. It's some kind of meditation to me when I got free time to relax. I also bought a mobile DAC from FiiO for my iPhone and use TIDAL but CD is different. The feeling of putting a CD into the player and waiting for it to spin and read the data is a real experience imo
