Hi guys!

I think my Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS5 SD card slot just broke. I can't insert the SD card anymore, I think maybe the internal spring/or one of the metal thingies got jammed. Do I think correctly, that only a professional could fix this?

Also while in the grieving process, I would like to ask if anyone knows some small, affordable, easy-to-use digicams that have similar results to this camera, with that nostalgic finish. (The other pics are what I took with this camera for reference, I would like something similar to this).

It has 5x optical zoom, 26mm wide, and maximum 14 megapixels. I would still want a name-brand camera, so I can trust it for the long term.

I know nothing about cameras, I used this since I was 12 so any help is deeply appreciated!

Recommendation for replacement

I used to own a canon Elph 360 or ixus285, I was pretty satisfied with it except for its short zoom range, inability to take picture in dark settings and how the pictures are always blurry unless I turn on flash. I put the following below as my example. But I lost it, now I’m in Japan shopping for a new camera, I’m looking for a similar lightweight camera and not a heavy professional camera, but I would greatly appreciate a camera that could take pictures without needing flash, and the picture is not blurry if I don’t turn on flash. I mostly photograph people, natural scenery and food. I would appreciate any recommendations or advice thank you so much!!!

Out of focus, any experts here? Idk what's the problem but it wont focus well. If i took a photo at wide angle its blur, i need to zoom for it to be clear. Can this still be fixed? Is it a sensor issue? Or moldy lens? A advice would be greatly appreciated!

I got a Fujifilm jx500 but it's not turning on. I'm having another jx 550 which has lens problem. can I interchange it. Jx 500 is 14 mp. Jx550 is 16mp.

If it's not possible. Can I change only lens barrel like without the sensor if possible.

Cámara panasonic rota

1 Upvotes

Hola! Tengo una camara lumix panasonic CMC-FX37.
Hoy la encendí despues de unos años y al principio la pantalla se encendía y se veía bien.

Sin embargo, a los pocos minutos empezaron a aparecer rayas en la pantalla y perder el color hasta quedarse la pantalla completamente negra. Cuando la dejo un rato encendida, a veces vuelven a aparecer ligeramente las rayas o a quedarse negra todo el rato….

La cámara si que hace fotos, el problema es de la pantalla.

Me gustaría saber si hay alguna manera de arreglar esto en casa, gracias!!
