The cheapest camera I have is the GoPro Hero 9 black (bought new, not used). Otherwise I use either my phone, or pull out my digital SLR when I need to get serious. I have many times what you just spent invested in my digital SLR and related gear.
Your old camera must have been using a beer bottle bottom as a lens!

10 years ago it would have been bundled like an AOL CD....
edit: or damn, 20 years ago now, good old coasters?

Canon 1DS Mark III body with all L class lenses (f2.8 is the slowest), also with image stabilization. Even the 100mm macro lens I have came with IS. Body cost me over $6k by itself. IIRC, the cheapest lens was about $1200.
Looks like I might need to get some new batteries for it. Depending on how the older ones charge up (both depleted). At least they're lithium ion batteries.

yeah well, you wonderful human being s can be happy now i scored a decent camera. and i won't have to listen to wise cracks anymore!
$6k for a pic on a drunk forum would be overkill!

It was used for so much more. I keep thinking about getting the latest version, since that also does video (at least 4k) but I've been dumping too much $$ into my brewing gear this year to do that.
As for the cracks, it seems like you don't really know us.

Very nice. I've been meaning to dig out my macro lens and see if I can get some nice bubble shots.

the only thing i'm pretty sure of, this is a place i can hang out with other people that make beer!
(and as soon as i have a properly carbed keg to pour a glass i plan on snapping a shot for the post a picture of your pint thread! looking forward to it, not just because i'm drinking flat beer right now either! lol)

Suuure you're not drinking flat beer.

LOL, what, picture or it didn't happen?
edit: you know what, i take that as a challenge! i'm yanking my flat keg out and burst carbing it with 1.3ozs of co2, yes by weight, and putting it back in the fridge, and pouring a glass just for a picture!
Well, things are looking up. No more wooziness looking at dark blurrs trying to make out content.
Now, work on composition. "Framing Matters"
Cheers!

That pic in #1 looks excellent. I can actually tell what you photographed, 2 taps coming out of a nuke plant.
What brand/model camera did you get? Can you take a picture of it?

You sure that photo isn't from your old camera?
I'm just kidding. Looks good though I didn't know you were famous for taking bad photos.

if you're trying to make fun of me, the critters teethe are to straight, got to give him some bucks, and a snaggle!
They weren't bad photos, they were the most excellent blurry graphs.

i was thinking my last shots of my grain mill were bad too, which is why i assume someone asked me "if it works, why get a new one?"...lol here is some good pics!
and if you're wondering about the nails and screws and stuff, it's so my 5 gallon bucket that i took a 3" holes to to make a 20lb hopper out of doesn't fall off while milling.....
edit, and yes i had to drill a couple holes in a hax saw blade to get the adjustable roller to not go crooked on me!

Bracc, you qualify 1000%.

I'm not sure that even a $6k camera has an image processor capable of compensating for your composition there, but looking forward to more photos.

I was going to comment about the image quality, but figured someone else would get around to it. At him spending only $30 for the used camera, I wouldn't expect all that much. Pretty my cell phone does a better job. Actually, I know it does.

It looks like a root beer float! A well focused root beer float, not the blurry watered down stuff!
BTW, your mill is better than mine, mines still sitting in countless shopping carts around the internet

For how long has it been in limbo?? At what point do you just do it? Or switch and buy one ready to use (with minimal assembly)?It looks like a root beer float! A well focused root beer float, not the blurry watered down stuff!
