I think the Kodak looked more natural. The faces had more detail. The Fuji had too much contrast on faces rendering too much highlights on faces giving a slightly washed out and less detail than the Kodak.
The Photura was Canon's contribution to what were labelled "bridge" cameras in the early 1990s. This group of 35mm cameras functioned much as a point-n-shoot, but had lenses and features more like a higher end, regular 35mm SLR. The Photura abandons nearly all the design conventions of the day. The hinged lens cap/ flash head is the most unusual, as the flash head focuses the beam of the flash to match the coverage of the zoom lens over its full range of focal lengths. The zoom lens, 35-105mm, isn't a big stretch, but it is much higher optical quality than a zoom P-n-S, and it covers most usage. There are several more high-tech features, the most useful being "focus tracking". Once you lock the auto-focus on your subject, if the subject moves closer or further away, the auto-focus will track and maintain focus automatically. These bridge cameras usually compromise by being big and bulky. While the Photura is no pocket camera, it is smaller than most of the type. Very slick device, but they are largely unknown and don't hold used value. I paid $15 on eBay for my like-new condition unit. The new battery for it cost $10. (Aka Canon Autoboy)
This could be useful for me since I own many Zeiss and Yashica C/Y mount lenses. But, which Yashica 50mm f1.8? I can't even find one with a web search except an auto focus. A much more useful and logical comparison would be the Yashica ML 50mm f1.4 vs the Zeiss Planar ditto. I've scanned the video and can't find an image of the Yashica 50mm f1.8. Why don't you show it?
I just got this camera. I am trying to learn how to use it . I have never had anything more than a point and shoot camera. Thank you for the information.
I just got one of these. It's in good conditions, but I guess I will have to send it to a specialist for a thorough cleaning. I'm finding the focusing challenging too. To the point where I am not really sure how it is doing it. I have a bunch of very old films at home, most of them are used half way. There are BW and color chrome films, negative films of all sorts of ISOs. So, this will be an interesting experiment and test run.
EOS are great, I think I wanna get one. I already have a bunch of older lenses for FT mount, I'd probably get a lower end DSLR to share lenses with too hehe :)
Hi just got one at my local second hand thrift store. Never used. I am very excited to try it for the first time. Thank you for your video. D from Massachusetts, USA
This was my first camera that I ever owned. I had so much fun with it. Had the macro zoom lens. This thing is the godfather of the modern slr. Auto-focus, a great light meter, auto film loader and rewind. Amazing first camera, really. Damn, think I'm gonna have to buy another one. Good thing that they're only, like, $10. Ha.
Oh I also wanted to mention that you telling us about the dry box and how you actually need some moisture for your camera with something I didn't realize I've been using those silicone packs in my camera cases and some of the lens caps to keep fungus away but I'm glad I've caught it learned that you need some moisture for your cameras. That's something I didn't know so I'm learning a lot from your guys and your videos. We really appreciate it and some of your videos are kind of funny and other ones are just pleasant and we really appreciate you guys.
I enjoyed this video and review the Sunny 16 it was really good and descriptive. I enjoyed that and some of the other videos that you guys have done is fungus video then make your own drivelux video some really great videos and and good subjects and I hope you guys keep going on I subscribed and I like every video I can I don't like notification so I'll have to just keep in touch with you guys I'll check in every once in awhile but thank you very much very good video I learned a lot.
I found this camera a few years ago, my friend buy old houses and the previous owners left tons of stuff, mostly junk, but this kodak 35 point n shoot was in a box. I decided to use it, as I have tons of other 35mm cameras, I was very surprised how well it took pictures even in low light and over cast days. But it's weird how thus camera only operates with film In it, most 35mm point n shoot you can test the flash without film. So without putting film I thought it was broke. But I'm glad I had did a Google search on this camera and read how it works. Love your pictures
