Fixing cameras is expensive because they're very delicate and has so many small components. Use Google maps to search for a near by camera repair shop and ask for a quote prior to agreeing to fix it. Consider buying a new one as fixed will probably not be the same as new one.
What should I choose between Canon PowerShot SX740 HS and Nikon Coolpix A1000 If I'd like a camera for taking photos and videos of idols during concert or fan meeting? Please answer!
Canon SX740 is the better choice, in my opinion. The Nikon has a screen that opens downward, marking it a bit awkward to use for selfie photos and videos. Canon has a slightly better zoom at 40x vs. 35x for Nikon. The nikon struggles big time on dark situations. And Canon has a rating of 4.5 stars vs 3.8 for the Nikon.
I'm looking at this camera, sony hx99, and Panasonic lx10. Any thoughts? I want a camera that takes good/sharp portrait photos for a family trip so fast shutter and quick af is important. Price is the other factor. Thanks for the review!
I regret selling it, far better image and video quality than the Canon, I haven't tested the Lumix, but I heard great things about it. The only thing that Canon has on both, is zoom. Thanks for watching
Buy disabling auto power, you can keep the camera on, see article. support.usa.canon.com/kb/s/article/ART177600 As for the focus rectangle, I'm not entirely sure, but you can try different modes to see if it works
Thank you for the video, very informative! I am looking to buy a camera with very good quality camera for photos. That photographers crisp good quality photos and is easily transferable to your mobile phone. I am not fussed about the video/ zoom quality. Any recommendations? Many thanks
I would recommend the Sony HX99, 30x zoom, good sensor, and easy to pocket, for just under 500 USD. amzn.to/3ATVMF7 If your budget allows, go for the more expensive RX100.
DSC HX99 = amzn.to/3AHiP6i RX100 = amzn.to/3AVQg4T As for the RX100, this is the 7th gen, which retails for 1,300 USD, but you can get the 5th or 6th gen for less than that.
You would think that it would be nice, but the truth is, its no different than any other webcam. Logitech Brio 4k, had a similar image quality, easy to connect, IR camera for face ublock, only one cable required so less clutter and it only costs 150 USD. Not worth using as a webcam imo.
Hey Jude, unforetently, the pause recording option is not available on this type of camera. This is to prevent the camera from overheating. The camera can still warm up even when it pauses while recording.
Thanks so much! I have this camera, and used the capture card and hdmi cord to use it as a webcam. However, the lens and camera black out after about 1 minute when recording. Do you know how to solve this?
The only explanation I can think of is that you have the battery saver on, and the camera turns the display off to save battery. Here's an article on how to enable or disable power mode. There's an option called eco mode. Perhaps you want to test with on and off to see if it foxes your issue. For reference, I never had this issue, so it should be fixed in the settings if it's not a hardware issue. support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART177600
Without a doubt, the G7x (Mark iii) is a far superior camera, and you lose zoom range with (sort of), but the image quality is better. (Official Store) Bundle deal with everything you need: amzn.to/3AUskiF It will set you back 1600 USD, so it's not cheap, but if you're serious and new about your photography/videography, this camera is excellent. You could go for G7x Mark ii, which retails for around 1000 USD, but there's no 4k video and mostly renewed.
I liked your review of this camera, but I have a question. When I connect it in OBS via cable and capture to use it as a webcam, there is a box in the middle that bothers me that pops up when detecting a person's face. So far I can't seem to get rid of that focus frame. I don't think it is eliminating the information, since I eliminate the information and the screen looks clean but when a face appears in the middle of the shot the frame appears, any solution with your experience?
Try to disable the Conitunes AF (auto focus): Click Menu Button -> Auto Focus (scroll through pages horizontally with D pad until you find it) -> Choose disable.
It can be charged using any decent quality "micro USB cable." One of the downsides of this camera is that it can not be charged and used at the same time, and the battery charges slow. Yes, you can charge the battery while in the camera using the micro USB port. There are two more options to charge, get a docking station with batteries, available on Amazon.com (link below), or get a coupler for infinite battery time. The battery door has a small rubber door that can be moved to allow the wire of the coupler to pass through while the door is closed (link also below).

ok, so you pay over 500$ to have a web cam (which you can get for around 200$ for a very good one), and you will never use it probably for anything else
No, the Sony HX99 does not have a one-inch sensor. It has a typical 1/2.3 sensor.
2024, just bought this, my third powershot.... I like them.
Hey what do you use for? I find the mic isn’t the best for vlogs do you have a way around this or you just use for photos?
@@elijahcraies8627 mainly pics, my phone is quite good enough for the videos i do.
yah me, too. I just bought this camera last week. Can you let me know how to off "soft" effect on photos? They seem like to be burry, not sharpen :(
@@HuyHuynh-p9n you'd be better googling it mate.
Sony hx99 has CMOS 1/2.3" same Canon sx740
Just double checked, the have the same sensor.
How do I remove the ‘soft’ effect on Canon SX740Hs. I just bought it last week, i try test all mode, but the photos are so blurry and no sharpen.
Try disabling auto lighting optimizer. If that didn't help, you might want to adjust few other settings, like aperture or shutter speed.
@@RandomTeq thank you
Np, best of luck to you.

So, plugging it in through the HDMI on the camera, how do you actually get it to work as a webcam?
The other end of the HDMI plugs into a capture card, capture card to PC.

Takes way too long to transfer videos from phone
True, it's a 5 year old hardware.
so i was wondering if there was a way to keep the camera on when using it as a webcam and if there's a way to remove the focus box

What's your budget?
$500

If your budget allows, go for the more expensive RX100.

Sony H99 or HX90V
Also with the RX100, which is the best?

RX100 = amzn.to/3AVQg4T
As for the RX100, this is the 7th gen, which retails for 1,300 USD, but you can get the 5th or 6th gen for less than that.
i would love to see a video from a person with the lighting and stuff as a webcam

how to pause button when recording a video

Thank you
Can i use the flash when i am recording a video and how ?
No, flash can only be used for photography.
do you recommend this camera for concerts?
No, concerts are generally a low light environment, so you will not get the sharpest photos. However, if its for zoom purposes, it will do ok.
@@RandomTeq which camera do you recommend for concerts with a nice zoom?
Go for the Sony RX100. It has a 1inch sensor and a viewfinder.

No, I tried it, but it doesn't work. Even via Bluetooth, it's not designed for any type of external mics.

ok, so you pay over 500$ to have a web cam (which you can get for around 200$ for a very good one), and you will never use it probably for anything else
To use as webcam and for zoom capability.
Quality images mehh
The appeal is in the zoom, no other camera offers 40x at this size.
