I love the array of Pro70, Pro90, G1 and Pro1 behind you. Great collection of classic Canon digitals you’ve got there Gordon!

Just what I needed coming home after extracting a tooth! And this series surprises me, to be more precise, the cameras in this series. I had the impression that camera makers start to take digital cameras seriously much latter. I never had seem a "professional" looking camera around the early 2000, only those small point and shots so I thought that was all there was at the time.

thank you very much for this retro camera reviews! I love it

I remember I lusted for the Pro 1 back then. I had a Powershot G1 (my first digital camera), which you reviewed a while back (fun trip down memory lane). I remember the Pro 1 as cool step up from the G1. The first "digital" camera I used was a Canon Ion RC-260. It took awful pictures but it was so cool to connect it directly to your computer and get images out of it without having to develop the film :-D

Thanks for the video Gordon.I really enjoy these vintage digital camera reviews and there are relatively few RU-vidrs doing these in a pleasant format like yours. Keep up the good work.

Nice! Dual card slots even with its limited usage is a nice feature! the micro drive and even smaller harddrive that came with the nokia n91phone fascinates me, its showed that there was some really nice technological progress in having a good amount of storage in very small size moving harddrive! keep up the good work!

I still think the photos taken with my Sony DSC-T3 hold up remarkably well. Although maybe it’s just that me and my friends were all much thinner and more attractive back when I was using it. Who can really be sure? Great video, as ever

Great video as always. Keep them coming

my god this channel still alive.

Hi Gordon, I really appreciate these videos, as a collector /user, you introduce me to models I've never heard of and get me searching like a mad thing. Currently looking for the Pro 90. I already have (and love using) the Pro 1, yeh the zooming on the Pro 1 is quirky, but that lens produces some great images. Hope you keep doing these vintage videos, I luv'm. Regards Rob.

My favourite series! And looking forward to the EOS D30 review!

Just bought a G6 for 30 bucks, barely used and i'm loving it so far

Great video as usual, was eagerly awating a new upload! The pics don´t look bad even on my 4K TV. To have the compability to use other battery types is also a life-saver for a lot of oldtech. I have an old HP CE device which is unfortunately tied to stationary power with the ancient battery not working or made anymore, but my old Psion devices work even after 30 years with Mignon.

As always a great review of vintage cameras. Never had a canon compact of any sort but would like to try out one of the G-series.

Totally usable! Perfect for making 4x6 print using canon selphy printers!

I was rummaging round in the basement and found one of these. I was thinking I should give this to my daughter to play with after watching this review I will not. Mine even has the lens cap. Now I need to find a way to charge this!

I got a PS Pro70 "for free" when i bought a G2. (the seller sold both as a pack but i wanted the G2). Bought them for next to nothing as well. One of my best bargains ever!

i love this channel, and you're right Gordon,ppl are asking way too much for some of these old cameras, though I do wish more camera manufacturers would take some design risks these days.

It was either the PowerShot Pro 1 or 300D back in the days. I went for the 300D. But I've lusted for one of the PowerShot or Olympus Camedia superzoom.

Like from Bangladesh bro. This is a serious review. Thanks a lot.

i wanted to buy this thing and was disappointed there was no video about it by you. Thank you that you uploaded that video

For a time, my sister had a job acting as liaison between companies in north and south America. One of her clients would occasionally give her a digital camera, as part of being an ambassador for their company. She gave me a Pro70, when it was still relatively new. My thoughts at the time were that I would have never spent $1200 on it, there was no way I was going to buy a flash for it, the image quality was underwhelming (I was still pretty active with my 35mm Pentax at the time, when you could get a floppy with digital copies of your prints), and getting the images onto my PC was relatively cumbersome. I probably used it for about a year, before replacing it with a cheap point-and-shoot (probably already double the megapixels). Over the years, my impression grew less and less favorable. The pictures look very much like those that my Sony Hi-8 HandyCam would shoot direct to a memory card, and fell apart with even the slightest enlargement. I don't remember ultimately how that camera met its end, and I've never missed it. Seeing it on your video did make me a bit nostalgic for those days, but not the camera itself.

CANon is quite covered now, so you can follow with CASio alphabetically :D

I still own SX10IS which came few years down the line though now it has some problems with the LCD panel. Else these early SuperZooms from both Canon and Sony were fantastic cameras to get into wildlife/birding.

I've never owned any of them, but I own the Olympus E-100 RS, which along with the Olympus C-2100 UZ, share the exact same lens as the Pro90.

I’m not sure if this is on theme but I’d love an episode about cameras used in Atlanta 1996 and then Sydney 2000! I wonder if it was still film?

Great video an interesting about canons vintage cameras when are you going to do a video on Sony Cybershot f828 please

I live in Louisville, Kentucky and we have vibrant painted horses here and there, much like your painted sheep. Why sheep though? Are they all Shaun? Just curious

what? No bird af?

Great Video! How do you turn on?

I really can't bring myself to get this, since you can get the Canon 30d for less than $50 USD. Really this is just for collectors purposes, such the digital age. My minimum requirement for me to even look at collecting a digital camera is usability(image quality) and price. I think I would probably get a Sony dig camera that uses a floppy disk at the right price just for the novelty. But this one, I really just can't justify the price for it.

My camera collection itch just can't justify the price of vintage equipment below $50 and less than 6mp. My practicality(specs peaking) and collection senses just can't reconcile a good reason to purchase such collectibles. I just found it practical looking at older DSLR such as Canon 10D or Nikon D100 which all can be had for $50 or less at very good conditions.

i've just bought one for 5 euros
