Olympus MJU II or Stylus Epic is in my opinion the best point & shoot film camera under $300 and the perfect film camera for beginners.
The simplicity of use, small size, and high-quality lens the biggest selling points. Compared to Yashica T4 or Contax T2 film cameras I think Olympus provides the most value for your money.
Thank you @eivindrodland for the great trip & additional footage.

Thank you Kamerastore & Olympus for the great customer service and for instantly replacing the camera. Lesson learned - check your light seals before shooting :)

@lewisfernandes8114 Год назад

How can you check them?

@ongkyprasetyo2209 Год назад

@@lewisfernandes8114 if seals around the lens, you can check by pointing flashlight close to the lens and move it around little bit while you see the back lens (film back open). if u see light pass it means light seals around lens was leaks.

I use the Olympus mju II zoom 170 best compact point and shoot camera series EVER! Review video on my channel. I paid just £10 used 2nd hand off ebay for it many years ago when digital photography was getting more popular, these little 35mm compact cameras were very cheap, not now though, for very good reason, they have almost reached cult status, due to their timeless design, quality build and superb results for absolute minimal effort! I also have the original mju I purchased new the 1990s.

I got myself a mju ii at a flea market last week for the amazing price of only 1€. Its an amazing little camera yet it is very hard for me to understand what justifies a 200€-300€ price point. For a plastic point and shoot camera they are severely overpriced...

How did you manage to get photos of snow and have the snow come out white rather than grey? Usually camera meters tend to over compensate for the brightness and produce a darker exposure ...

mju ii have multimetering points, so is just exposing right. however you can switch to only one center point metering

Nikon L35AF is a better compact camera under $300. Konica big mini, Olympus XA series (XA4 my fave), Minolta Freedom Escort (aka Leica Mini), and a few more are also a better value.

@RemmyMusic1 3 года назад

its one of the sharper point and shoots but honestly the MJU ii is wildly overpriced because of Tik Tok. Its a great starter camera but the artificial spike in cost won't last when people realize the long term costs of film/developing.

@joelhypponen 3 года назад

You might be totally right about that. Hyped items come and go and same happened to T2

@BEM_01 2 года назад

After 11 months It's still going up. Price won't drop as the camera in the market gets fewer and fewer. It already has a cult classic status so I disagree that the price will go down.

@RemmyMusic1 2 года назад

@@BEM_01 Once the demand goes down it'll also drop. that'll take a couple steps before people realize the cost of developing, and how these older film cameras are just not reliable. until then of course its still going up !

@BEM_01 2 года назад

@@RemmyMusic1 Nope not really. It being unreliable making the well kept copies more scarce and fetch higher price. Kindly note that these are not being produced anymore and will never be again! As the working copies gets much fewer, it will equal to higher prices. This concept works for every collectible hobbies not just cameras. If reliability dictates the prices, then vintage car, watch and any other vintage stuff should have gone down the price already.

@RemmyMusic1 2 года назад

@@BEM_01 The same thing happened with vintage game consoles like SNES, NES, and other ones. There was a peak somewhere around 2018-2020 where as now its cooled off and people have lost interest. Obviously still some ludicrous prices- but as a whole the price has gone down. Theres a bunch of parallels between the two. Not being manufactured anymore, can easily break, scarce in quantity, better kept copies selling for more... the problem with cameras is theres just so many to choose from, once people see these provide only less than incremental changes to the shots, it'll die. you can disagree all you want, but google trends already shows a drastic loss of interest over the past 4 years.

@DanielleJaramilla 2 года назад

WHat's the difference between the portrait 400 & 800?

Primarily how light sensitive the negative is (ISO 400 / ISO 800). With that, Portra 800 is also a bit more grainy.
