      @@pricklypearcamera These cameras do go for a little more here in the UK. However, there is less supply and they are harder to find so it balances out I guess. I do use ebay gsp and get a few international orders but most within the UK. It's nice to see others in the same business around the world!

    Nice box! I have a thing for the Panasonic FZ series, super underrated. They are better than the Canon SX, Coolpix B/P series or anything from Sony IMO. I have the FZ20, 28, 47, 50 and 200. They are excellent cameras and unlike a lot of digicams, still a fantastic value on the used market, although they are starting to creep up in price. I'll buy any that I see at a good price still because I think bridge cameras will be the next ones to start going way up in price. I still cant believe how much some of these ELPH cameras sell for, same price they were brand new like 15 years ago. Good video.

      100% agreed Michael! Yeah, it's pretty wild how elph pricing and certain Nikon pricing (like S6900) have just skyrocketed, very speculative and social media driven. I think you might be right on bridge cameras, some of the best values out there IMO.

    I bought a Leica/Panasonic bridge camera, so I would have something convenient to grab-n-go. It’s got a fairly confusing and cumbersome operation, compared to my Nikon D700, but man, is the image quality just amazing. Plus, having the red Leica badge, is a tiny bit of flex anyway. You’re right about Fuji as well. I have a Fuji XP, that I take kayaking and the image quality is really superb. In the end though, my Leica would be my keeper if I had to keep one…

    Kevin - I just found the floppy disc adapter and memory card for my 1999 Sony Mavica. I’m getting a formatting error, but I know the card is good because it works in one of my other cameras.

    I had a camera very close that Fuji AX camera. It was an AX500 I believe. I happened upon a bargan bin in a hardware store that was loaded full with in the box, never opened, brand new versions of the AX500 camera. There must have been over 50 of them. They were selling them for $20 a pop! I bought one as a lark, thinking it was probably a piece of junk, like maybe a kid's toy. Turned out to be a pretty decent little camera. Went back a day later thinking I'd pick up a few more, but they were all gone.

    Hi! I love your videos, and you seem so knowledgeable about cameras, so I was wondering if you could help me with my problem… I have a Canon Powershot SD900 that works fine most of the time. There used to be a horizontal purple/green line going across the LCD screen, but that disappeared as I used it more. There is a little funny noise when the lens comes out as well. However, recently, as soon as I turn it on, the lens comes out but won’t go back in and says “Lens error. Restart camera”. Following advice from Google, I take out the battery and fully charge it, take out the SD card, let the camera rest, and give the camera a couple hits, before restarting. This works, but this problem has randomly occurred three times now and it’s a pain in the butt to keep fixing. Especially when I’m out since I don’t want to put it away while the lens is open since that can cause more damage. Is what I’m doing just a temporary fix, and will it become worse over time? What should I do??

    • @pricklypearcamera
      @pricklypearcamera  8 месяцев назад

      It sounds like you are following all the appropriate steps! Sorry to hear it's having issues. There is a finite life of all cameras, from lens mechanism issues to sensor faults to LCD issues, given enough use and time, most cameras will exhibit issues eventually. Hard to really say if it's dust/grit, slight mis-allignment, or what the problem is. Given that you've had a myriad of problems with it, you might consider looking at the secondary market and picking up a replacement SD900 that doesn't have any issues so you're not frustrated/missing out on taking pictures! At least in the US, I see this in good shape in the $50-75 range, and have found at garage sales for $5-15. Good luck!

    One camera to shoot on would be my Olympus tg-6 it’s amazing for a lot of journeys I go on, lots of trails and adventuring in the wilderness so shockproof and waterproof is very very very important. At first I wasn’t very happy with it because I felt it couldn’t compare to my fz1000, however , the fz1000 isn’t weatherproof and is just too bulky for travels, great for at home or purposeful photography adventures but the tg6 just makes life easier. I’ve been playing around with different modes and I’ve found ways to bump the image vibrancy and quality to my liking. It’s just light and compact and if you pair it with an adapter you can get some extra lens extensions to go over the top.
    My one gripe is I wish the tg6 looked like the fujifilm x10 because the tg6 is kinda ugly and I feel aesthetics are equally as important.
    What are your thoughts on the tg6? Would you recommend the x10 over it?

    • @pricklypearcamera
      @pricklypearcamera  8 месяцев назад

      Ok, that's a good choice! (TG-6) I actually made a video on the TG-7, which barring some very minor differences is essentially the same as the TG-6: ruclips.net/video/FAY_uccaY2g/видео.html&lc=UgxgnrYRHfStIlXjUKF4AaABAg
      I love the FZ1000 too, you're right, a bit bulky, but love the butter smooth zoom and killer range on that camera.
      I really like the out of camera color vibrancy and just "joy" that the X10 gives pictures that I take. So if I was forced to choose between the two, I'd go for the X10 personally. Plus it handles low light conditions excellently.

      Thanks! Given how hot it is now in Arizona, I am going to have to retire it until the fall!

    Is this a sustainable form of income for you?

      It generally is, yes. Certainly variable depending upon inventory coming in, and Nov/Dec/Jan make up the biggest 3 months sales wise. Summer can be kind of slow.
