The best cheap shit camera is the one you stumble upon

They're all pretty shit so the only relevant specs are "works: yes/no" and "replacement battery available: yes/no"

I guess you have a point, but I still want to take somewhat decent pictures. The one I originally had in mind was the Ricoh GX200 but its too expensive

And the price is about to go up, cause it seems like it’s about to be the “YouTuber overhyped meme camera” of the month, just saw this.

I dont get what it is with these youtubers. they call a 200 Euro Camera cheap or a 800 euro setup for beginners. the products they promote are just so expensive and they gaslight you into thinking that they are cheap.

most people are idiots who will buy something they can't afford on credit card if someone tells them it's "cheap"
they don't want to face the fact that they are, maybe, too _poor_ to buy a "cheap" camera, so they go buy it to prove to no one in particular that they are not that poor
and tell themselves at least they're getting a good deal on it (which they are not)

>>4325703
you are not being gaslit.

$2000 is "cheap" for most gainfully employed single adult men, in the context of a hobby purchase that shouldn't need replaced for 5-10 years unless you change your hobby.
it is NOT cheap in the context of something you will be buying multiples of or replacing yearly.

but it is cheap. the comparisons in peoples lives are things like:
going balls deep on a half-mil home - and calling that cheap for a home
leasing new cars yearly, or unironically buying a new/late model car
motorcycles
boats
premium golf gear and country club fees
resort stays and cruises

I get what you mean, but not everybody is a gainfully employed single white adult man.
If you are a student 200 euros and you can get the good cameras for 200 euros instead of 2000,
like this 50D. I think it is wrong to call a digicam for 200 euros cheap, because most people that buy those dont want the best specs but just a nice experience. And I believe you can get that cheaper. I just have not found it yet.

good call, a lot of the products there are listed as "untested" do you have any idea if they are just broken or if they just claim that because of insurance?

>>4325750

>>4325722
Yep, thrift stores are awesome.

Try your local ones to see what they have, I've picked up a couple of point and shoots for 10-15 dollars. I'm not sure why I get them other than the are fun to play with.

Get an IXUS/ELPH and install CHDK.

>>4325654
Pana Tz7s or there about are still going for cheap. 12x zoom might not be what you need in a party setting but it's neat to have. Also decent video and sound.

Thanks for this, I'm specifically looking for something with a decent zoom.

Been thinking about Olympus C-8080 but it's just too bulky.

If $200 is not cheap to you, you should come back when you have reached 18 and gotten a job

>>4327974
But before you have three jobs to pay for student loans a wife a house two cars a kid and your bosses second yacht. Right in the middle there where you still have $200.

>>4328025
>Pay for student loans
User error. Mine were paid off in 2 years.
>A wife
Bitch needs a part time job.
>Two cars
Cars are <$10,000 ea and should have been bought in cash years ago.
>A kid
Cheaper than you think
>Your bosses second yacht
There's your problem, you work for a mexican drug cartel and your pay is being docked to pay for don taco's second yacht.

>I get what you mean, but not everybody is a gainfully employed single white adult man.
Take that back, racist. Some of us are gainfully employed single asian, jewish, and indian adult men.

When I was a student I bought a $1800 electric guitar so maybe dont come from poverty?

>>4328038
Ah yes, very valuable advice. No need to pay back your student loans everyone, bc this genius paid his off in 2 years.

Nigga this isn’t random word association, but holy fuck it sounds like you got what you paid for.

>>4328071
>Ah yes, very valuable advice. No need to pay back your student loans everyone, bc this genius paid his off in 2 years.
Yes? How fucking hard is it.

You graduate. You have already done your internship. You get a job in tech or medicine. NO OTHERS. GOING TO COLLEGE FOR ANYTHING ELSE IS A LEISURE ACTIVITY FOR PEOPLE WHO COLLECT CERTIFICATES.
You make $125k post tax minimum, and if you don't you better be eligible for overtime pay or you already fucked up.
You live like you make $40k post tax. Live in a bad part of town. 30 year mortgage. Small house. Drive a car from 2005. Never eat out.
You now have $85k of disposable income which pays off 4 years at whatever state university in full in 2 years-ish.
Now your life as a richfag begins.

if you went to the ivy leagues or got a useless degree outside of tech/medicine i'm sure your parents paid or you got free money for being a gay trans black jewish zoophile dreamer

Please don't tell me you pursued a photography degree. You would have paid $23k per year to be told to like steven shore.

>>4328072
Change that to “medicine” only

Easy money. Live poor invest rich and you’ll be a multimillionaire in 5 years.

Any cheap digicam that has a decent optical zoom range and shoot raw?

>>4328081
CHDK is what you seek. Turn your cheep ass Canon digi into one that will shoot raw.

I was walking in downtown chicago last night and there was some festival going on and i definitely saw multiple younger women (<25) talking digicam photos of each other.

my question is WHAT do they do with these photos, do they really take the time to copy the photos to the computer from a SD card then send them to their phone then upload them to social media? seems like phones would be easier

>>4328313
They literally just review them on camera, they don’t care about permanence anon the camera and the act of taking photos is just a vibe enhancer. If the vibes were enhanced that’s all that matters. Yes, women are that stupid.

>>4328317
Tons of women are posting their digicam photos on Instagram. I just can't imagine groups of ladies passing the camera around and staring at the photos on the LCD.

>do they really take the time to copy the photos to the computer from a SD card then send them to their phone then upload them to social media?
yes
>but thats an extra step
women woke up to social media apps running 24/7 on phones and spying on them so it would be an extra step with a phone camera too.
>o rly?
ya rly. they think zuckerberg is a rapist on a cosmic scale.

what do you think the photographer was thinking when he shot his portrait like this

>>4328317
Girls are dumb as shit. They’re mindless meatbags with feet. Ever see a squirrel in the road just jumping back & forth in front of the oncoming car with no thought to guide it? Thats how women get to go through life, just influenced by whatever shiny thing is in front of their face. They’re idiots. And 2/3 of guys are so fucking dumb they consider it a lifetime achievement to hitch their wagon to one and aspire to sustain that level of mental activity. I so wish covid were deadlier & dud us all the favor of killing off the dumbest 80% of the species. What a disappointment.

>>4325654
If you want RAW support and manual controls go for a Panasonic Lumix LX3.
Otherwise, go for any digicam under 50 euro.

>>4325654
getting into digishits right now is waste of money. few years ago when they were actually dirt cheap it made sense. never would pay more than 10eur for a digishit
