I’m a DSLR man through and through.

Hi all, I have an EOS R50 with the 18-45mm lens. I’ve been using it for over a year now and love it. I’ve been wanting to look for a lens with a higher focal length. My camera is mirrorless and I’m still very much a newbie so don’t know exactly what I’m looking for.

I was looking at a new lens, the Canon EF 75-300mm 1:4-5.6 III, Would that work for mine? I heard something about maybe needing a lens mount then for that specific one. I’m not really sure how that works, would anyone be able to explain? What type of lens mount would I need, if at all? Is there another lens that wouldn’t require it?

I’ve only got a basic understanding of how this all works but I’m eager to learn more. My main goal is to take good quality photographs of birds that are at a distance.

TIA

I've tried new batteries, leaving the batteries out for an extended period and trying again, nothing works. It's just stuck on this symbol as soon as I put in the batteries. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix it?

I still shooting on DSLR, love my Canon 90D.

Hi everyone! I’d appreciate some advice from experienced wedding videographers.

My wife and I have been graphic designers since 2012, but as design projects are becoming less frequent due to AI, I’m considering transitioning into wedding videography, something I’ve always been passionate about.

I’m planning to start with this setup:

• 2x Canon R6 Mark II (one camera for me and the the other one for my wife).
• Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8
• Canon RF 35mm f/1.8
• DJI RS 4 gimbal
• DJI Mic 3
• 2x 512GB UHS-II cards + 2x 256GB UHS-II cards
• Nisi ND 2-32 82mm
• Godox V100 flash with softbox and light stand

My current budget is ~8500e. Looking forward to buy all these in the upcoming black friday deals.

I’d also like to use the equipment for commercial work, such as promotional videos and restaurant/product photography, using the Godox flash and softbox.

I haven’t worked professionally in photography or videography yet, but I’m willing to work pro bono at events and with local businesses to gain experience and build a portfolio before taking on paid clients.
For those already in the industry: Does this setup make sense? Would you change anything or recommend different gear? I’d especially appreciate advice on whether my lens choices and lighting setup are suitable for weddings and restaurant photography.

Besides this, I need to also upgrade my laptop in order to be suitable for video editing. I was thinking that this would be a good option. My extra budget for the laptop is 2000e. What do you think about this?

Thank you so much in advance,

Paired with 35-105mm lens.

I can see the new photos I took in the blue button gallery on the camera, but when I connect it to a phone or computer it won’t show the photos I’ve taken after August 4th. Any idea how to fix or what happened? I’ll answer any questions.

Canon RP, 50mm 1.8 at f5.6

Best Buy is trying to get rid of the Canon RP 🤔😂

On my Canon 600D, the autofocus points in the viewfinder have stopped lighting up properly when focusing. They used to illuminate clearly, but now it feels as if the red light itself is no longer properly aligned with the focus points. All the red lights are still working, but the focus points themselves are no longer illuminated clearly.

I have a Canon power shot a 1200 hd and I am facing a problem, which is even though if I click pictures on program mode, even with the exposure set to -2 and ISO to 80 Whenever I’m clicking a picture, the preview is normal and when I am focusing the preview shown is normal. But as soon as I click it, it is giving me over exposed white images when I am recording, it is doing it normal thing, but whenever at any more live mode, Auto mode SCN mode in every mode, it is giving me white images. What can i doo
2st one is what I got in the morning
And 1st one is it now

Rookie with a new to me 70-200mm canon lens. What is the recommended lens setting for shooting nighttime sports at a football stadium?

Hi everyone!
I’m 23 and currently trying to decide between the Fujifilm X-T5 and the Canon R8. I’d love to hear your thoughts, especially from people who have experience with both systems.
I mainly shoot documentary and street photography, exclusively in black and white. I’m not a professional photographer, but I work on personal documentary projects, occasionally contribute to editorial publications, and make prints, usually in A3, A4 or A5 sizes.
I already own a Fujifilm X-T30, along with the XF 23mm f/2. However, I haven’t used the X-T30 much in recent years because I switched almost entirely to the Ricoh GR III, which I absolutely love.
Now I’m looking for something that will make me excited about street photography again.
I’m not trying to replace my Ricoh GR III. I want something different: a camera with interchangeable lenses, a good centrally positioned EVF, and a more hands-on shooting experience. I’d like to explore different focal lengths and spend more time composing through a viewfinder rather than using a screen.
I don’t mind having more physical controls and dials. In fact, I think I’d enjoy that.
What attracts me to the X-T5:
- I absolutely love its design and traditional controls.
- The larger, centrally positioned EVF.
- Dual SD card slots.
- Film simulations, especially since I only shoot in black and white.
- Weather sealing.
- The availability of small, lightweight prime lenses, which are the only type of lenses I use.
- IBIS would also be a welcome addition.
My concerns about the X-T5:
- The 40MP RAW files seem quite large. I edit in Lightroom and I’m a little concerned about file sizes, storage and workflow, although I have a MacBook Pro M2 with 32GB of RAM.
- I’ve read mixed opinions about its autofocus, particularly regarding reliability and low-light performance. I don’t really use subject tracking, but I want fast and accurate autofocus, especially with zone AF.
- The weight is close to my upper limit, although it’s not necessarily a dealbreaker.
What attracts me to the Canon R8:
- The lighter body.
- I’m curious about trying full frame, having only used APS-C digital cameras.
- I’ve heard very good things about Canon’s autofocus, including in low light.
- The 24MP files seem more manageable for my needs.
My concerns about the R8:
- The RF lenses seem significantly larger and more expensive, especially compared to Fujifilm’s compact primes.
- Portability is extremely important to me. A lightweight camera body doesn’t really help if the lenses make the whole setup bulky.
- I prefer relatively small lenses, especially around 24mm, 28mm and 35mm equivalent, though I’d also like to experiment with wider focal lengths.
- The lack of IBIS and dual SD card slots is a downside.

For context, my favorite focal length is 28mm equivalent, which is what I use for most of my documentary projects with the Ricoh. However, I’d love to experiment more with 24mm, 35mm and possibly wider lenses for street photography.
I care much more about the experience of shooting, portability, and image quality than having the highest possible resolution. I don’t shoot video.
My main question is: would the X-T5 be a meaningful upgrade from the X-T30 for someone like me, or would the Canon R8 offer a more interesting experience?
And for X-T5 owners: how do you find the autofocus in real-world street photography, and are the 40MP RAW files actually an issue in everyday editing?
I’m also interested in hearing whether you think the X-T5 is worth the extra weight compared to smaller Fujifilm bodies.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Batteries last maybe an hour. There’s some like corrosion on the battery thingy, I tried to gently wipe off with my shirt and then an alcohol wipe but it’s not coming off. Also one of the latches that close it is broken but even if I push it closed with my finger it still says change the batteries. Can anyone help with this? Also is there like a different battery too? Like a main battery?
Canon PowerShot SX1 IS

I got out of the photography phase a few years ago after my first camera, Nikon, left a bad taste in my opinion with some app issues and general hardware deficiencies. I heard nothing bad about Canons and the community all seem to love theirs. I want a mirrorless and got stopped photographing when the EOS R hit the market. Which of the R series and corresponding lens would be a good re-entry into hobby photography that is not a “point and shoot” but something that can take good photos with minimal aperture adjustment? Thanks.

Recently acquired a Canon EOS Rebel T7 DSLR Camera with 18-55mm & 75-300mm
It also has a Canon EFS 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 is II Telephoto Zoom Lens.

I have done research and mostly use it for sports photography (high school) etc.

BUT my photos always seem to grainy. I am using it on sports mode and used ChatGPT to help with my setting.

Now I am thinking I need someone with experience to help. Is it just a poor camera choice or can my setting be the problem?

Any help would be appreciated.
