I’ve been thinking of getting one of these for my girlfriend, she loves that vintage feel and is always adding filters to pictures. I think that this would be a great little gift for her, thanks for the video.
They really are cool little cameras. I can see them being super useful for everyday stuff, especially for someone not overly concerned with resolution. I'm betting she'll love it! If resolution is important to her, you can pick up some decent cameras for around the same price, maybe a little more. Old Fuji point and shoots are great options! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for checking it out!
It actually does have the Vintage filter pre installed on it now, so there is a filter downloaded. I opened both of mine and removed the speakers and added sharpie to the LEDs to dim them.
Oh, well that didn't come in my instructional booklet, my bad! I might toss the black and white on next and see how it goes. I've still been using it daily as an everyday carry camera, but I'm beginning to think I might prefer my old Canon. Might switch back to that after I get done shooting the film camera episode that's gonna be coming out.
I've been eyeing those lately and just haven't gotten around to picking one up yet! I shoot on the A7iii as well, do you have any samples of your work with it?
@@ShotByJAllen None that I’ve posted yet. But I actually just took it on a hike and the pictures came out amazing. I set my camera to auto since I just wanted to point and shoot. There’s no control over the focal length,so pretty much anything 6 feet in front of you and beyond is clear. I’d say for 60 bucks. It’s well worth it because I also use a Pentax lens with an e-mount adapter and although I can control the focal length with that one, the pictures are almost the same except I didn’t need to buy a lens and an adapter.
@@Vinsternator40 I might pick one up soon and give it a go. I've shot a little more with the Camp Snap, and while it's fun and convenient, the lack of resolution is rough.
For awhile I was debating between the Ricoh GRiii and the RX100, but was in need of a backup hybrid in case the A7iii died on me, so I ended up with an A6600 for now.
I think the photos look awesome. I like the whole point of just taking a photo, and seeing what it looks like later. It's a suprise seeing what you get and you don't really get that with photography nowadays. In a world of everything being quick, it's good to get that old style of point and shoot back. I think the best photos are in the moment and raw.
I really love the concept of it a lot! My only real gripe is the resolution. I'd prefer something exactly like this with maybe 16MP or so just for the extra detail. But overall, it's a great experience using it.
@@ShotByJAllen I have one coming in the mail here soon, I may make a video on how the photos turn out. Have you seen or experimented with the film settings they have online?
@@samrandom-ps4qi I have seen them but haven't used them yet. I shoot a lot of black and white so I may boot that up into it sooner than later instead of converting it in a Lightroom. It's a pretty nifty little camera, my kids really like it. I'll probably carry it for a few weeks and see what I get with it.
This is the best advice I've heard about a lens: Dont put it up to your eye, don't lick it or snort it. This video is awesome! Great advice and funny as hell.
Agreed. 1. Don’t be a dick. 2. Don’t take photos of strangers with the intention of selling or commercializing them without their legally given consent. (Looking at you AI, you art stealing robots) 3. This goes without saying but… Absolutely do NOT take photos of minors or people’s kids unless you’re permitted to by their legal guardians or by some form of legally binding contract. Other than that it’s free reign a public space.
Very timely and needed video. Have a few comments about the technicalities of the delivery - work on normalizing your audio. The music is too loud, and the voice is very jumpy - learn to compress audio. Also, never shoot from below, always try to shoot from above yourself, it's a more flattering angle. And definitely keep up the work, you're off to a great start!
I'm referring to the paparazzi that lurk outside the homes of celebrities and individuals to sell to tabloids rags. I wouldn't really consider it "news" so much as public obsession and entertainment. The kind of people shooting photos and video into homes, to the point that people have nervous breakdowns. The type that would fly helicopters over celebrity weddings and disturb the proceedings. Public celebrity photography is one thing, stalking someone with a camera for money is entirely different.
@@ShotByJAllen Understand, but I think there is a lot of grey area. What I struggle to understand is, there is always a disdain for Paparazzi and the methods they use, yet mainstream news outlets and journalists will use similar tactics to capture stories, and they are applauded and recieve awards. The only difference I see is one is a sole trader freelancer, the other employed by a large corporation 🤷♂️
I think the content and purpose differentiates between the two. Celebrity lifestyle is markedly different than national news in the way that celebrity lifestyle is for gossip with no actual purpose other than entertainment. News would be pertaining to political interest and significant world events and conflicts. It's one of those lines in the sand that I mentioned in the video. I may disagree with the tactics and dislike it, but they're still free to do it and I'd never stop them from doing so. I might judge them a bit though.
In all 50 States in America, you have zero expectancy of privacy outside of your own home, and even then, only if your shades and curtains are closed. This is literal law.
@@ShotByJAllenwhile i understand and enjoy watching those, i can see the point of view. Kai w took a photo of a homeless man pushing a bunch of crap, his face was embarrassed and he kept trying to move out the shot. Kai kept his face for 1 whole minute on the screen while talking, i feel that was mean.
