Ok, I need some advice.
My daughter won't allow pictures to be taken of her - and this is her right.
However, it turns out that while it IS a privacy issue for her, it isn't about the pictures per se, it's that she doesn't want pictures taken with a phone. Good old normal non-networked digital cameras would be fine, she just doesn't want Google or Apple consuming her likeness.
Any recommendations for affordable decent digital cameras? I haven't owned one in almost a decade...
@grrrr_shark Sony rx-100 are good, any version. The III is the best used imo, the original is still very good.
Panasonic LX-5 is a good option too.
I've bought similar cameras off ebay with very good luck. You can also try KEH or Adorama for used cameras.
Prices should drop after the holidays.
@nxskok No, it's not. Because we don't send them via email or proprietary messengers, and I don't store things in the cloud. These are mostly just for us, and the storage is local.
The polaroid option would be great except that we both have terrible ADHD and would just lose them ;)
@grrrr_shark I similarly haven't used a digital camera in a long time, but I like the concept of a MILC, like the Sony Alpha series. I have one, but find I'm not motivated enough to bring it with me. It's a small body, but you don't lose the power of different lenses. This may be a downside, though! No advice for point and shoot, either!
Anyway, tell your daughter she's awesome! This is a great reason to not want your photo taken!
I like the Nikon Z50 & you might also be able to purchase it with two kit lenses (one "pancake" portrait & one zoom). They are all (relatively) very light (an issue for me), definitely well decent, and I like mine a LOT.
The model is a year or two old now, so while it was a good price even when it first came out, it should be even better now.
I think it's great in a wide range of situations, including and maybe especially low light.
@grrrr_shark That's a dying market.
Canon's Ixus range has been a reliable bet for a long time, though I've been less than thrilled with the company's climate-denial antics of late.
