Hi all, Newbie here,
I’ve had cameras since leaving school – nothing special, but usable.
A couple of years ago, I bought my first ‘proper’ camera (although you experts might think differently !?) – it’s a Fuji Finepix S5800.
The reason I picked that was for the super macro. I’m now disabled and can’t do a lot of anything.
I wanted something to do with my hands, and started looking into watches etc, and wanted close up images.
I’ve been very satisfied with it, until a couple of months ago. The sd card cover stopped locking. I managed to use it by holding the cover whilst shooting,,,, but sometimes I’d forget, and the power cuts out !
I asked Fuji about it, but it took three attempts before they even replied. Even then they said they couldn’t look into it as it was out of warranty !
Now, the sd card reader – doesn’t ! I cleaned the card, tried others etc, so I guess the terminals in the camera are either dirty, or bu@@ered.
1/ Can I clean/check the terminals ?
2/ Can I get and replace the card reader cover ?
3/ Is there anyone on here that can look into it please – if it’s worth it ?
I’m now looking into an entry level mirrorless unit, but only just heard about them. It would be nice with macro (+super) and 4k video.
Any ideas, help or advice really appreciated.
