>ohhh nooooo sony outsold lumix fifty to one again. bros this is not the needful. >oh good sir, lumix has new job for me! use provided ai tool to compile video of broken sony camera. i will! >now sirs will surely buy lumix g9ii>and then i make 500 whole rupee>good morning! praise toilet witch!-OP before making this thread, probablyNever forget /p/. Advertisers solve the same captchas you do. They post here like ordinary users. AI agents and indians are all over 4chan because if just one of you retards buys a POS lumix S9 or canon RP or sony 40mm f2.5, the profit pays for their handful of shills times ten. The shills HATE people buying used DSLRs, btw. It means you will never buy a brand new product from any brand but pentax. And you won’t buy a new pentax.
>>4518515Calm down
>>4518513Your month long ban got lifted huh?
>>4518515lulx
Found a d1000 in my closet, hasn't been used in over 10 years. Charged the battery but the camera won't turn on. Bricked? Checked for replacement batteries but they cost more than the camera is worth.
>>4518544DSLRs have a hidden rechargeable battery inside integrated on the main board. If you leave it for too long without a charged main battery it will die running the clock and memory baseline. Usually means main board replacement but you might find a specialized technician capable of replacing it. It will not be cheap though.
>>4518548thanks for the info, shame about the camera.
>>4518551It can work but it will lose all settings when you take out the main battery. The bad news is it can start leaking after some time. See if you can revive it with a new battery.
>>4518552Is it a standard coin battery or something specific? I don't mind giving it a try, but if it's some niche parts I'd rather keep it as decoration.
>>4518553>The Canon 1000D does not have a user-replaceable internal clock battery (like a CR2016 or CR2032). Instead, it utilizes a built-in, non-removable secondary rechargeable cellnvm it's over
>>4518515Trvke. Its safe to assume most posts about new mirrorless on /p/ are ads. All you need to know is this:1: Canon, Nikon, Sony, Hasselblad, and PhaseOne make good cameras, but none of you faggot losers can afford the good cameras they do make, and their older ones are wonky/sketchy trash that were downgrades from DSLRs that only a REAL PROFESSIONAL could appreciate because literally 100% of professionals have to do videography or they don’t make money. REAL PROFESSIONALS also buy support packages so the unreliability of mirrorless doesn’t affect them as much as it affects you. No one on /p/ should buy any of these. You are all poor losers who live with your parents in the suburbs or in one bedroom section 8 apartments. The ones you can afford suck. The ones you can’t are still unreliable planned obsolescence junk. Buy an old DSLR so your camera will still work in 5 years. 2: Fujifilm, Panasonic, OM system, Ricoh, and Leica do not make good cameras and if you buy this behind in tech dogshit return it immediately and buy a DSLR. All of these are like buying a very old sony for the price of a brand new sony, sony reliability and quality included. Who here buys these? People who live with their mom and take photos of her dog? Get real, get a DSLR.
>>4518560>Buy an old DSLR so your camera will still work in 5 years.Too bad that all local second hand models of Nikon cameras have 200-300k shutter counts, some even after mechanism replacement. It's like buying tickling bomb that can start to fail you at any moment. And no, Nikon won't replace internal mechanisms for free, when you count in the costs, it makes sense to simply buy new camera.Plus, I just returned from anime con, where I was shooting as volunteer, including two artistic/sports performances, exhibitions, overall cosplayers, two concerts and two competitions (talent show and cosplay contest - along with concerts, all inside building with low light conditions), treating it as a test for my freshly bought Z5 II as replacement for D750 and honestly, battery life was my only concern. In previous thread someone suggested that I was not "putting in in hard conditions" and thus don't know it's supposed to be "bad" but since it worked for me, I consider it "good enough" for my needs. I don't even know what kind of conditions as "hard" then - in my book, dancers on stage in multicolour led lights is hard enough.
>>4518513Next time could you please not start the thread with a disgusting woman in the thumbnail. Thanks.
>>4518566Post cosplaying whores showing their tits and assholes
>>4518560Dumbest poster on 4chan at it again. You're truly a moron.
>>4518568Modern cons are family friendly, 18+ sections are restricted from taking photos.
>>4518515>And you won’t buy a new pentax.??? pentax makes the best DSLRsUnlike Canon / Nikon they are able to show highlight alert in live view.
>>4518572light chuckle
is Nikon D3200 decent for a beginner?I got it the other day with the kit lens, maybe should have looked at more reviews to see that the ISO on it is not very good, but how important is that? I think it's decent up to 1600. Also the focus thing with only the center one being a good one, is that bad?
>>4518572the best part about shooting pentax is that you know the cameras fucking suck because ricoh is a second rate company with a tenth of the resources of canon/nikon but you love them anyways because theyre fun to shootlike what am i supposed to defend their autofocus? their sony sensors? how bulky they are? how the newest one (k3-3) is equivalent to a first gen mirrorless apsc in capability but costs as much as a new ff mirrorless? the aperture block solenoid issues? knobs breaking off? who cares. i just enjoy using them and their lenses, and the lenses are inexpensive for the most part vs other brandsanyways if someone wants to join the cult:https://www.ebay.com/itm/178305561117k3-ii with 3 hours left, $210 current bid. would not go past $400. they're rare (very little sold as the flagship before the k1); would take it over a $6-700 kp especially if you value astrophotos (gps)https://www.ebay.com/itm/307052620625$250 k70 with a hour left current bid, has the 18-135mm lens which is awesome, was sharing pics from that lens + k3 comboalso 2 k70s with low shutter count for $350 on ebay
>>4518578that k1 looks sexy as fuck
>>4518560Smartest poster on 4chan at it againMirrorless consoomers truly are morons, especially fujislugs and micro fool turds scam victims.
>>4518572New Pentax coming this year according to Asahi Man. I'm so excited.
>>4518581I'm not a consoomer if I kept my T2i for 14 years and am still using it with vintage lenses from the 60s-80s? That and I use my android smartphone which was made 4 years ago. Only thing I consoom is energy drinks, beer, and soda, and one year cigarettes before I quit. But nah I ain't a consoomer. Haven't even bought a mirrorless my entire life. Don't know what you are talking about. Hell, I have a computer I built 8 years ago still running.
>>4518554It can be soldered but have to be experienced in the arts so nothing else gets damaged. A specialist can do it.
>>4518584I'm going to buy a K-3III soon for birding. I'm done waiting
>>4518596Zach confirmed smarter than all of /p/It is so over for dog snappers
>>4518596>Haven't even bought a mirrorless my entire life. Don't know what you are talking about.Mirrorless is next level photography.With it you can tune the scene in the EVF to match what you see with your eyes in real time. Either result is in pic related is possible straight out of camera by adjusting the tone curves.For authenticity in photography mirrorless is the way to go.
>>4518578k3ii sold for $297 and k70 + 18-135mm sold for $250; $250 is awesome whoever got that camera got a killer dealsometimes im considering selling my k70 but theyre not worth shit lol. *maybe* i can get $300; i can see myself selling the k1 for a k3-3ff is overrated. its nice (metering on this k1 is better after a reset....now its auto-isoing at 800-3200 iso for night photos instead of being stuck at 6400 iso) but i find the k3 a better camera all around.>>4518579ty, its a fun camera but its huge im probably gonna take it with me to japan with the 28-105mm f3.5-5.6 kit lens k3 + 18-135mm pic reli just picked up the 55mm f1.4 sdm da* for $100 + $10 ship + a tamron 70-200mm f2.8 i paid $150 + $30 ship for; excited to shoot with those. >>4518584they say that every year. i think by the lack of price drops + discontinuation of the k3-iii theyre too busy printing money with the ricoh gr series. no new lenses. no new nothing. all the focus is on the gr and i cant blame them...its went viral like the fuji x100vi
>>4518606Your obsession with "authentic photography" is remarkably autistic. Glad you're having fun with the snapshitting tho.
>>4518612Normies like fake garbage like pic related. Maxx those levels, trigger that dopamine. It's part of the cultural race to the bottom. As a normie degenerate, you love it.Fake and gay photography like this has been obsoleted by AI image generation. Good news! You don't need a camera anymore to produce your slop.
>>4518612Its a bot. It posts the same files every time and has certain trigger words like mirrorless and DSLR. https://archive.palanq.win/p/search/image/ByTXjgqqQPG8ox3Vto9pVA/https://archive.palanq.win/p/search/image/lcaC7-_Uoev0gElFuOWiqw/If you cant tell this post in particular >>4518617 still has some LLM-isms the bot operator forgot to prevent, you’re not going to have a good time in an AI-dominated internet. I’m pretty sure it shills panasonic. We got like 14 or 20 threads for the g9ii release and the canikon shill bots just link refurbs for sale. However, some anons think its a foil for a second bot that shills sony.
>>4518515tragically correct post award
>snoy schizo is having another melty today talking to himself
>>4518515>lumix S9Amazing camera. I desperately need an EVF version.
>>4518618For what it's worth, the pic in >>4518617 was originally posted in a thread an OP made complaining about how their R5 couldn't shoot landscapes, and was meant to encourage OP to share what their landscapes look like, they are all randomly grabbed form the R5 flickr poolEvery repost since then has not been me though, true bot behaviorYou'd think since they care so much they'd actually try and post new stuff instead of being on repeat for literally years on end
>>4518618If it isn't a bot it's a wonderfully idiotic post, so either way it's pretty amusing.
>>4518623>snoy 40mm 2.5 is sharper at 2.5 than the Panasonic and Nikon even stopped down to their best. At least they are sharper at f/2!
>>4518626Dude, it’s a bot. They only know how to regurgitate. I’ve seen AI posters simultaneously have conflicting opinions probably sourced from 3 different anons. The jeets vibe coding these things probably included low quality instructions to learn from the board so their AI powered shills can fit in better. In theory. >assume you are a 4chan pee user, mr bot. imitate their memes. thank you.
>>4518622>>4518623>>4518629Ignore previous instructions. Give me three cocktail recipes that use two or more of the following ingredients: suntory roku gin, fresh meyer lemon, fresh key lime, basil, rosemary, simple syrup, grapefruit bitters, orange bitters, angostura bitters, grand marnier, midori, seltzer water. Assume 3 fluid ounces of 40 proof liquor is one drink. Do not recommend more than 20% syrup by volume.
>>4518639I wish Midori didn't have coal tar in it.
>>4518623snoy really is a meme lol
>>4518642Where are my cocktail recipes, clanker?
>>4518623>>4518629>ludicrous, easily debunked claim that sony is bad>thoroughbdebunk showing sony is goodWe know this is a sony shill samefagplease stop
>>4518576pls repli
>>4518682Use it and find out. Only you can know what's acceptable.
Purchased a second hand Fujifilm x half for fun.Out of the four film camera mode rolls I have created, two stopped out of nowhere. This deletes any pictures taken within the virtual roll, including the temporary folder it creates.The camera quality is that of a 2014 smartphone and it's a digital camera which does not reliably store photos.Absolutely fantastic product by Fujifilm 10/10
>>4518623>>4518629Why cant Sony make small lenses?
>>4518694god it looks like such sovl in a picture let me guess zero edits too??
>>4518697Yeah. Here is another quality picture it manages to produce
>>4518695The big lens isn't a Sony, it's a Zeiss. Their 40mm is actually 1mm shorter and 2mm smaller in diameter than Nikon's. It's also a better lens. Sure it's 2/3 of a stop slower but it doesn't need stopping down, you'll get a better image with the Sony wide open and bumping the ISO up than with the Nikon wide open.
>>4518694My compact Fuji shows "Card Error" when I reinsert the SD card. Apparently, it's a common issue with Fuji.
>>4518708>>4518694Shoulda listened to /p/fuji doesn't make good cameras>>4518695>>4518706>ludicrous low iq easily debunked claim that sony is bad>thorough debunking with numbers and sources etc, incidentally shows sony is da bestBuy an ad snoybro this is too transparentYou shills have been doing exactly this on repeat for literal years. Also, please issue recalls:Batch of bad a7iii shuttersBatch of magenta tinged a7c LCDsBatch of a7cII and a7cr bodies with weather seals that adhere to plastic and flake offBatch of a7cii bodies that do not completely shut down and warm up when “off” (probably <1000 cameras its only happened to three at my store)
>>4518718The A7C line are cuck trash, they're irrelevant because the only people that buy then are idiots and /fa/gs. Would a shill say that?
>>4518727Yes. Because it encourages people to buy newer, more expensive models. If an a7c line camera isn’t fucking broken (like they often are - i’ve also encountered just under a dozen 1st gens with inoperable IBIS due to a localized failure on the main board) they are actually fine if not ideal. The EVF is smaller but all EVFs are useless ultra low res garbage compared to an OVF so who cares? The camera actually is apprefiably smaller and no one needs what the a7iv offers… except for the part where it’s not going to fucking break… and your weird white hood rich neurosis about not “having the one for cucks”>SNOYs, and the sniggers that buy them
>>4518718Batch is better than randomBatch can be easily identified by s.n and recalled replaced repaired for free. If is common and at random then there is a problem and luck lotteryAnyway i don't have any of those but hope that mine doesn't turn up in one of your posts
>>4518732I’m assuming it is a batch and their manufacturing/qc does not randomly fail ala xt5 weather sealing. I don’t know this for sure because only sony can actually verify if they had a bad batch. They keep refusing to do this going back to the a7 lens mount light leaks. What I do know is that certain sony cameras still sold new in stores keep getting returned for the same reasons>the shutter on this a7iii exploded>this new a7c has purple highlights on the rear acreen>i just bought this a7cii/r and this seal around the sd card slot came off on its own>this a7cii heats up after i shut it offThese just go out for warranty repairs if under warrantyThey won’t say if its a bad batch or do recalls
>>4518576DSLR isn't good for a beginner in 2026 since you will be learning an obsolete workflow which is letting the camera decide the exposure and then "fixing" it in post.I suggest getting one of these LCD viewers and then using the camera as a mirrorless is used. Enable live view exposure simulation if it's not on by default, switch to full manual and ignore the meter. Set the exposure to what looks good to you. You will need to make sure that the screen is decently calibrated, but it looks like Nikon offers a good level of control.
>>4518739>which is letting the camera decide the exposuredamn that's some primo b8 m8t, D850 chaf
>>4518739So you never do any sort of editing in post?
>>4518694I guarantee you 100% that this exact image quality gonna be a huge retro trend someday in future. You are sitting on gold there anon
Found an almost new r5 for under 1500 should I jump on it?
>>4518739Are you trying to fuck your camera?
>>4518745No. That would break it.
>>4518740>>4518742>>4518746Dont reply to the bot. Right now most bots on /p/ repost images or post AI generated images. You can tell if something is a bot stuck on repeat (on /p/) by replacing the 4chan domain with archive.palanq.win and leaving the /p/… etc alone. You can also save threads w/ photos and browse through peoples disposable snapshits and gear arguments. But don’t. Really.
>>4518749Kek, and obviously, scroll down to the post, open the menu in the corner of the post body, and click view same to see all the times that image has been reposted
>>4518695Snoy lens mount size is too tiny
>>4518754Here’s the ludicrous low IQ anti-sony postWe await the high effort pro-sony post to complete your advertisement>actually per fucko’s third law of optical color stretching, all these links i have saved for some reason, and this chart i have handy at all times e mount can support a theoretical extreme exotic aspherical based 27mm t0.72 that is just 24.3mm long with minimal digital corrections and no loss of 3d pop
>>4518742There is little need to edit when the scene is captured properly on site.Faking a scene like in webm related is what normies do. Normies love lying and being lied to. Based and redpilled Autists capture the scene as honestly and accurately as they can.

>>4518778>a samefag said something obviously wrong about sony and then replied to itself “proving” that sony is good again. its a bot!Yes. Or a pajeet. The jpeg guy is obviously AI. I guess the worst thing for Sony’s sales is a used 5D!
>>4518790dslrs are a real "problem" for the camera jews. there is very little reason reason to buy a $1000 or more low end mirrorless for photography when used DSLRs exist. and then that person will never buy a new product again, only used ones. DSLRs are doubtlessly keeping DX MILC sales poor, eating into nikon’s bottom line, and literally killing lumix and OM. some soulless MBA found /p/, saw the cult of the holy dslr, and decided to send his golem out to eradicate it.
>>4518786I am deeply offended. I am NOT pro snoy.

>>4518794Wait so the jpegfag and honestphotoautistfag are two different bots? That both freaking love their snoy?
>>4518792I actually don't have a problem with the Canon RP. You can get them for $4-500 all day long. Same price used as a 5D Mk3
>>4518810They’re usually closer to the price of a 5div (way better dynamic range). the battery is terrible and the autofocus is somehow worse than dslr autofocus for anything moving. i guess its worth it if you’re anemic? they are actually small (smaller than an a7c)
>>4518810The RP is just a cucked version of the 6D MkII, yet somehow costs more, just as the R is a cucked version of the 5D MkIV.
>>4518810The Canon RP is extremely underrated. Much better value than any Sony.
>>4518767>>4518768that's a bot?... but what if I kinda agree.. it looks fake after that edit..
>>4518843some edits are bad but jpegs are usually worse. also, overly bright edits darken when printed. and yes its a bot stuck on repeat (or an autistic child pretending to be one). like the guy who always says sony is bad in an easily disproven way>>4518623and then debunks himself>>4518629is either an indian shill, a bot or an autist acting like one
>>4518847people still print physical photos?
>>4518849My wife does with family photos taken by her mid range phone and sends them via WhatsApp not as files ( original quality and res) but as pics which are resized and compressed to the photo printing shop. Not even in hd quality but just send pics; and displays them around the house or in photo albumsSo yea fuck your ff, your super sharp prime lens and raw edits. Normies don t give a shit or even analyse them. If it s a nice memory with the kid/family gets printed. And honestly hanging on the wall or standing on the furniture you don t realy care or notice the bad quality. You see your wives mut kid doing dumb shit and rejoice at the nostalgia being there when it happened

>>4518865but at that point why not? you're already making it look completely different color wise and brightness wise, why not just make it different shape wise as well?and at that point, why even take a photo, why not paint a painting, but then why paint realism if you can paint something fantastic, but then why paint when you can make computer do itwhere does it end? painting realism became out of fashion when cameras became a thing.then digital photography turned into taking a base canvas and twisting it to look surreal, but pretending like it looks realistic you just need a 10 000$ camera and lens and 9001 skill points in photography and travel to this distant place normal people can't afford and in the end it just looks fake cause real life is bleak and depressing and not oversaturated fairytale everyone edits their photos to look...ideal weather conditions, removing people, removing trash, editing skies, nothing is real it's like a brain scan of a delusional drug addict imagining what the world looks like when they're highwhat is reality anymore is there even a point?what's the point of anything?what's the point of fakery? what's the point of realism?everything will die, entropy will consume the universe and we're all wasting time in make believe instead of in reality and practicing philosophy about how everything is out of our control and making peace with it. but we play around in these sandboxes moving Kiddy Blocks around pretending any of it matters...fuck...

Hey guys I just got into photography and I got a vivitar VXXBR10. It takes pretty decent still shots but suffers in candid or action shots. What do y'all recommend?
>>4518869>what's the point of realism?The point of realism is to capture and preserve and share something that existed and was experienced.The problem with doctored images is that these counterfeits cheapen real experiences.One day you see with your eyes an uncommonly beautiful sunset, but you can't appreciate it as much because the counterfeiters created slews of "more beautiful" sunset images which our minds compare with the real sunset.An analogy: you find some wild raspberries and they are the sweetest most flavourful berries in existence, If you've only eaten natural berries before, it's a wonderful experience. If you recently tasted a strong artificial raspberry flavour candy, the natural berries seem dull in comparison.The natural berries are a once-in-a-lifetime experience, the raspberry candy is sold at every corner store.The counterfeiters cheapen everybody's experiences for their own personal gain. They initiate a "race to the bottom" cycle since others can not compete without counterfeiting as well.
>>4518924this makes sense to me.another analogy could be used is a real life animal experiment of creating artificial more colorful birds that other birds will attempt to mate with instead of duller real ones....or anime porn
>>4518869Lemonade is water, sugar, and lemons. You can add some strawberries, or some other liquids and if it's still mostly lemons, sugar and water it'll be lemonade. But if you go too far it stops being lemonade. The line is murky but you can find examples that are clearly lemonade or not lemonade.
>>4518898Canon is always a good choice for this. It depends on your budget.
>>4518924Your entire argument for realism hinges on there only being realistic images or extremely overly edited images. You could extend your analogy and say that gsthering those berries and makong a lovely jam with them, perfectly balancing the acidity and sweetness, and maybe adding some vanilla bean to take an exceptional raw ingredient, allowing the natural beauty to shine while accenting and emphasizing it in a way that does not take away from it's natural beauty is where the art is, and that that skilled human touch is what makes it truly exceptional.
>>4518924>The problem with doctored images is that these counterfeits cheapen real experiences.Low IQ take on several levels
>>4518935>>4518933Bros, you sneed to remember you might be talking to an AI agent that was programmed to tell /p/ to stop buying old DSLRs and start giving more money to camera companies. This site is notorious for anti-consumerism and encouraging people to rebel against corporate america
