Agreed. Shopping in reputable used stores, not auction sites, you can do very well for 500 £/€/$ Olympus E-M1 + 25mm f1.8 Or E-M5, 25mm and a zoom. Fuji bodies can be had easily at the 2-300 range, lenses are harder though, better getting a new Viltrox. There's a good selection of very capable cameras out there, for very modest budgets.

No, cameras write sequentially, from the beginning of the card to the end. The 10-20% rule is for computers with operating systems that need space for temporary files, defragmentation and such. (It's also, arguably, rubbish, and highly operating system dependent)

Does the iPhone, or any phone for that matter, even have an adjustable aperture? Depth of field on these tiny sensors is so great that the lens is typically fixed wide open. iPhone might be different though...

I find it can be very useful to read a few reviews of cameras you already own, that way, you get a feel for the reviewer's preferences and can relate them to your own experiences.

Ignore the 'score', read the actual review, skip the video bit if you like. Same as with any other review site... I find that they're one of the more comprehensive review sites out there, though I don't necessarily agree with their conclusions. Particularly invaluable for 'vintage' digital cameras, as the extremely detailed reviews are a good substitute for the instruction manual.

Check MPB for an idea of price? mpb.com/en-us for the USA site.

Humm... Digital 'Spotmatic', k-mount, mechanically armed, but electronically timed shutter, ISO selector in place of the rewind knob, manual focus only. No screen or buttons, just RAW files to SD card. Might sell enough to support 'artisanal' production?

Flatbed scans of prints? Take a look at the glass of your scanner with a powerful torch - mine spattered grease from the head drive mechanism all over the inside of the glass. The result was tiny white specks (actually reflections), most noticeable in dark areas.

Use what you have for a few months, until you get an idea of what you want, don't just rush out and buy gear.

Looks similar to an ex British War Department tripod I have, mine is marked with the 'broad arrow' -> and 1942, doesn't have scale marks on the legs though. There would have been a lot of heavy duty wooden tripods sold off as surplus after the war that were later adapted to photo use.

Open the settings menu of your web browser, check the zoom setting and reset to 100% if it isn't already. Ctrl + / - adjusts zoom in most web browsers, might be 'CMD' + / - on a Mac?

Ditto And also contemplating a bigger dye-sub here, but for event use.

No, I've heard that it can be very unreliable, I think it's highly phone dependant. (Mine is an ancient budget Android 'smart' phone) I use it as a remote shutter release with live view, but when used for group/self portraits, it often results in a photo of me looking at the @#&* phone - they need to allow use of a physical button to trip the shutter!

Works perfectly for me across 3 different cameras; shooting, transfer to phone and direct instax print. Guess that means that the wifi tethering might work for you ;) (Will probably never work again now I've said that)

Trying to get this to work in order to save wear and tear on the camera's connections when running an "Instant Print Photo Booth" type setup (think "Photos with Santa" or similar). Setup is: Fuji X-T2 -> wifi router -> Windows 10 PC -> Fuji X Acquire I can make it all "work", everything connects, take a photo, appears on computer, but only for one shot in minimum res (3m), after that X Acquire loses the connection and everything stops. All photos are saved to camera memory card, even those that fail to transfer. Anyone use this setup? Any tips? I suspect my problem lies with Windows networking - next step will be to try a cable between router and PC, when I can find one, if I don't batter the PC to death with the camera first... I normally use a Raspberry Pi for everything photo related, but Fuji X Acquire is Windows/X86 only...

One question: why? If the only answer is GAS, then maybe rethink?
