Got one question for ya; I'm signing my contract and re-enlisting to the PA army guard in the next two weeks. Can I use my cameras over what they provide? I have digital and film cameras to make things pop and personally trust my 35mm cameras more than I trust my cannon.
I dug out my old Nikon Colorpix S8000 for after this. Slowly my life has changed since and I now use an iPod with a dumb phone and carry a point and shoot instead of using my smartphone.
for someone who has been running around with a digicam the last year or so, I agree, these small cameras are social magnets. More or less everyone wants a photo taken and the look of the photos is pretty cool even if its photographically speaking pretty bad thanks to the very high ISO values and the very low max shutter speed.
I used to have a point and shoot, I ended up selling it because I figured I might as well just use my phone. I do believe theres a market for these cameras though, a camera is more than just the photos it takes, the fun factor or enjoyment factor is also a thing, nice video
I took it one step further using an old Olympus point and shoot film camera. That I found in my moms storage. Loved shooting on the streets of Seattle and loved the look the images gave me.
Zoomers being all teary eyed and nostalgic about dedicated point-and-shoot digital cameras - and even analogue film cameras and Polaroids - while knowing jack about actual photography is by far the funniest social media trend I've ever seen.
This is a smart funny video. And I think you hit the middle ground of shock at the demand, but also just liking the product. Fuji has really hit a sweet spot in the market. They should ride this until it runs its course. I own a V, love it, but have no plan to buy the VI - for exactly the reasons you state. But I’m glad that all those folks who couldn’t get a V can now join the fun with the VI.
