So this explains why I had to pay so much for a Canon G1X that was made in 2012. I bought the camera (a glorified point and shoot) to fill in a photographic gap between my smartphone and my mirrorless workhorse. And to my unpleasant surprise, found that I had to pay more than what I had expected for a 12 year old camera.
HELLO I have been searching for a digital camera that’s really high quality and like not “blurry” ykwm? The ones I see are all look too blurry for my taste. I do love the 2000s-90s vibe but I want it to look CRISP still do you have any recommendations 😭??
I come from the old days of 35 mm compact cameras and are thinking about getting a budget digital camera because although most people just use their smart phones to take pictures I don't really like them because certain phone apps have complete control over you photos and micro SD card Although you can just use an old mobile without a SIM card but mobile phones are just to large to use comfortably
As a gen X i find this very interesting.. If I can give you any kind of recommendation: Go with a camera with AA batteries.. Even cheap IKEA Ladda AA have over 2000maH.. 2 have over 4000maH. Most Akku packs only have 500 to 700mah. And you need to put them out of the camera, put them into the charger.. If you have 2 or 3 cameras, you will soon be confused by the different charger. Not happening with the AA batteries.. 🙂
Those are the old MySpace cameras lol. I'm 31 and I still have mine from high school and it works just fine. Only a matter of until Gen Z discovers burning CDs :P
Thanks for the tips! Just got a mini90 and have been loving taking imperfect setting photos, cant imagine the fun after I get more practice 😂. Appreciate the help!
I absolutely adore and love the Instax line. It captures what film photography was years back, I remember my parents taking a lot of time to get the perfect framing up the shot before taking it. I let my mother use my Mini to take a photo and it was like second nature to her, there were a couple of shots that weren't great but the framing was spot on. The memories taken with these cameras are priceless
Now i know why the prices suddenly went up. Once again Gen Z making my long term hobbies too expensive. Please i beg. Make something new. Please stop making my decade expensive 😭
You have to remember that instant film follows film photography rules, you can’t fix it in post. If your subject is backlit, use flash. If it’s too bright/not cloudy hold your sunglasses in front of the lens to work like an ND filter. Use your hand above the lens (like how you would use it to shield sun from your eyes) to shield some overhead light and get a better exposure of things like the Disney castle. Focus on the darkest part of your picture to get the exposure right.
i just recently bought the sq40. there are times when i take a photo, the subject is not in the center. how do i ensure that the subject is at the center when i take a photo?
Its popular now because everything old is new again. There are many that have never had a chance to shoot film but now they are inheriting cameras from grandparents. It is a new toy. It is new (to them) so it is interesting and different. Also some of us that are older never completely stopped using our film cameras.
OMG i love you,re photo,s😱 i have the instax mini 40. I love the camera. I can,t live whitout it. I whised my parents bought me one wen i was 12 or 13 along whit drawing and painting suplies 😊👋🏾✌🏾😁👍🏾
Thanks for the tips, recently picked up a SQ6 second hand, I would have gone for the mini90 but I really like the square format! I only wish Instax put all the features like long exposure and retro design from the mini90 on the sq6, would have been the PERFECT camera.
im physically 28, mentally 19 lmao. the old digicams were so fun its what got me into photography as a hobby when i was 12. its awesome how fast you can take pics with digicams.
I was only three years old in the 2000's and I don't think I remember much of the digital cameras at the time but my mom always used a disposable film camera but I think at the time the digital cameras was expensive so in a way my mother never got a digital camera intell later in life
I remember that even my grandmother had a film camera to but it was refillable growing up I was mostly always seeing film cameras it's like it is apart of my childhood memories but I personally do like older digital cameras and film cameras I do think that most of them are built to last back then
Thanks for the tips. I bought an instax recently. Do the prints on the films remain intact if we keep them safe in albums? Or do they lose vibrance or fade away?
Have you noticed that these old digicams make occasional appearances in K-pop videos? I have seen them in NewJeans videos a couple of times and even old film cameras have appeared in their videos. It's pretty cool to see them being used by K-pop stars and this may inspire their fans to get the same digicam models for themselves.
I'm 28 and I just purchased a Kodak EasyShare Z710 from 2004 for $20 on eBay. I haven't had a camera outside my phone since the early 2010's- I ended up just selling them because I needed the money and found that taking photos with my phone was "fine enough". But over the years with social media becoming more and more prevalent and life getting more and more different, the desire for a simpler lifestyle has been growing in me. It started out as me wanting to use a dumb phone to combat social media addiction- and therefore that would require an external camera since I love taking photos. I ended up just "dumbing down" my iPhone 8 to not have any unnecessary apps so I could still have a decent camera and any other important tools conveniently. But then something came over me when I looked back on some photos I took in the past when I did have a separate camera. And at the same time noticing someone in my life suddenly having one of those old digital point and shoots for their birthday party. I put two and two together and decided to do research on what digicam would be the best for me to buy- not too expensive but able to get the types of photos I like aesthetically, etc. Which then lead me down a rabbit hole of digicam videos. Which lead me to your buying guide for digicams. I took your advice and put 7mp and CCD sensor for the search filters and that Kodak camera was one of the first ones to pop up. So I went to Flickr- remembering how you can search by camera- so I could see what the photos look like to make sure I will like this camera and they ended up being the most beautiful photos I've seen in a long time- and surprisingly high quality for the megapixels. I fell in love and bought the camera right away and now it's in the mail and I'm so excited to use it. I miss taking photos as a form of self expression and exploration. Taking photos used to make me live so in the moment looking for the beauty around me. And I'll feel a lot less embarrassed bringing out a proper camera then my phone at least in my opinion. Nothing wrong with phone photos but they tend to kinda paint a picture that you are just doing it for social media (nothing wrong with that either tho, I just feel less self conscious looking more like I value photography for its own sake instead). Anyways thanks for your video! I would not have found the camera of my dreams without it.
I have a Canon Ixus 100s for colour and a 2005 Ricoh GR digital for black and white.. The Canon was £10 and the Ricoh was £135 because it's a cult camera. Both are excellent 👍
I have found 5 digicams in the scrap piles, as well as a Nikon D40 DSLR that works. These are the ones i currently have: Sony Cybershot DSC-W230, red, works Panasonic lumix DMC-FS10, 1 black and 1 silver, both dead :( Casio Exlim Zoom EX-Z80, pink, dead :( Panasonic lumix DMC-TZ30, black, works
pretty cool that you put in a kindle and a switch, I'm planning to get this and those 2 things are the reasons why I'm looking for a medium sized backpack
