Using a Canon Digicam Tips & Advice - Photo Review 

As someone who loves taking pictures of everything, using an older digital camera vs a newer DSLR like you said just feels better. I love my D3500 but nothing beats the feel of an older digital camera, the simplicity makes the shooting experience so much more enjoyable!

i just revived my mothers old canon powershot and it’s such a lovely camera, I’m having so much fun, so nostalgic yet still soo good quality loved your video!!

this was not only extremely informative, but relaxing as well 🤣🤣🤣

These little Canons can surely surprise you, if you use as low ISO as possible. And in dimmer lightning instead of rising ISO, stabilize camera with old school tricks.

For a greener planet please use rechargeable batteries, it is an easy and rewarding change (saves a lot of money and pollution) and it feels good. Good quality AA and AAA batteries have almost the capacity of an alkaline and they recharge overnight with a basic charger. Buy twice as much as you need at a time and charge the batteries when not in use.

Interesting video. I picked up a Canon powershot A650 IS from a local charity shop for £19.99. It's very similar but has the articulated LCD screen and image stabilisation, it's also 12mp and has a larger 1/1.7" sensor, for the era this was a large sensor for a compact point and shoot. It takes stunning photos and like you said the macro capability on these is top notch, mine focuses down to 1cm. You forgot to mention using rechargeable batteries reduces your running costs and is kinder to the environment. I've added your channel, hopefully you'll connect with a retro photograoher?

Have one since 2007 and love it 💘

Wow. I was thinking about using this camera for street photography and was apprehensive about starting, but your words were very inspiring. Thank you!

Your comment on this having a viewfinder is spot on. I bought a similar Powershot new years ago, simply because it had the VF. Made a world of difference.

My main shooter is a Sony A6300, but I love my Powershot G9 (2007) and A650 IS as palette cleansers. Especially when I’m out with friends, I leave the Sony at home. It’s always a rewarding moment when I pull the pictures out of their SD cards onto my phone.

I still use my Canon PowerShot A-620 that I bought maybe 17-18 years ago now. It takes very good photos, has pretty decent zoom from 35 to 140mm plus the color swap mode makes it real handy for getting an idea from a paint chip sample of what your walls will look like with various colors before you actually buy the paint. That's something I've used it for with pretty good results as long as the color sample is acquired using the same lighting as what's in the room your checking. Pretty advanced feature for the time I think.

This cam in my hand now

Try installing CHDK on it and you will be able to shoot raw, I am currently using a Canon Powershot SD750 with CHDK on it and am loving the results I am getting with my edits.

Hi Kevin...I really enjoyed this video! It's ironic because my gf found one at the local thrift store for a whopping $4.50! It was still in the original box, cables, manuals, memory card. I'll be interested in seeing how it performs. Best of luck in your photography journey! Best wishes Duane

Just got a canon powershot a540! its just like yous, I'm still figuring out all the bits to this camrea so thank u for the tips man!

I have 3 CANON Powershots My first one was a A520 / second was A590 / A540 I just pick up for $5.00 its funny it looks new. And all these new big WIFI cameras with all the bells & whistles & complicated to even use, can't even compare to my little Canon Powershots in how simple to operate besides great photo taking.... And you mention eBay, and yes I use it for that. Had to do close ups and did great. My first Canon Powershot A520 is about 16yrs old LOL! Works great.

Found one for 5 bucks and it's shocking how good the images come out

I think Canon makes good cameras. I have a Canon ELPH 190 IS and it takes really excellent pictures. I think my pictures are way superior then those taken by cell phones.

I have an A720 IS. Love the camera and use it for street when I go into rough areas. Great Canon colors although I typically edit the shots into B&W. The IS is good for about 1 stop. But that's better than nothing. If your Canon digicam doesn't have an IS after its name, its not image stabilized. The tunnel viewfinders on these digicams suck, and are inaccurate, but I still use them over the LCD screens.

Good made Video :-). I like older digicams too. Have a tiny collection and use them. At the moment I am experimenting with a Canon PowerShot A450 5MP from 2007. I also use older DSLRs but most pictures I made with digicams. With greetings from lower Bavaria

great in depth digicam review!

I had a A590 IS, was my first point and shoot digicam! ❤ Mistakenly went for a wash in my washing machine and ended up dead lol😂😂😂

I have the same cannon and it shocks me every time I use it. Playing around with a g12 right now.

Nice video! My Canon A-80 (4mp) produced a nice 10x15” print. And with modern software like Topaz Labs Gigapixel AI, larger high quality prints are possible.

The Achilles' heel of these cameras is a lack of sealing, allowing dust to get inside the lens. No big deal until you shoot a pic towards the sun, then its artifact city. Also lack of dynamic range. Love my Canon G10 but it has its' shortcomings.

Wow😮

I bought a newer😢 canon that does all kinds of things but i still much prefer my little Power shot

Hi ! Great video ! I once had a powershot, but never shot in “P” mode, I had a SX 100 and I bought it, among other things, because of full manual control. Now I decided to return to shooting on powershots, but I noticed that cameras without a full manual mode are often cheaper and less worn out. My question is this: is it possible to achieve everything I need from the “P” mode only with the exposure compensation? Let's say I really liked shooting at long shutter speeds and in full manual mode it's easy, but wouldn't "P" limit the maximum shutter speed to one second or so ? Or is there some special “night mode” that unlocks long shutter speeds, but will this mode give me control over ISO or exposure compensation? And one more question, how does the “p” mode work with the aperture? The fact is that diffraction is breathing in the back of these cameras and, by and large, there is no point in closing the aperture until there is a not to much light. f/4 for 1/2.5 cameras is already something like f/22 for Full Frame. Does this "P" mode understand this or it can close the aperture even when there is a still a possibility to reduce shutter speed ?? Thank you.

I have a question, I have the power shot A 520 and as soon as I turn it on, it starts blinking green and then turns off, what does that mean?

Hi there! I also have same camera. But I'm facing an issue of overexposed & completely washed out photos in daytime outdoors. What mode do you click in and what settings? Please share it would be really helpful!!

can i ask you question about "canon A590 Is this charging? or only charging bu battery? and how long double battery with that?? can u please answer these questions 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I got the canon a630, it is a amazing camara, I don't know when the horrible brands of Camara stop to use batery AA.

What memory card do you use? The last 2 cards I used it said memory card error

i feel so stupid but i can’t seem to open the bottom of the camera to get to the sd card and batteries, could u give me some help please!

I got the exact same camera for $5 also got a similar Panasonic digicam and that only cost $5 aswell

Hello! I have this camera, and I bought new batteries, but it keeps telling me that the batteries are dead even just after charging them. What could be the problem? (I lost the USB charger is it necessary?) Thank you!!

Don't carry cameras, with these kind of lens assembly, in a pocket, use a small case to keep dust/sand out of lens mech and lens cover. My old A-510 works fine. Also have an old Sony DSC-T9, nice mini camera but uses little flat batteries don't last long.

i am the 100th subscriber. where is the party?

How do I view the photos I’ve taken on the camera?

I have a canon power shot a530. Every time I turn it on the camera extends out goes back in, and extends out again. Then it says lens error, restart camera. But no matter how many times I restart or change the batteries it keeps doing the same thing.

just wondering, is it possible to add modern lenses to this camera, or is there some other option? (beginner to this stuff)

hii! does anyone know how to download photos from the camera to laptop without Canon Digital Camera Solution Disk?

Hello! Do you have any issues of battery door latch being broken?

my canon a530 wont take pictures when i press the button, i bought recommended batteries and the memory card. any advice ?

How do you put the battery in

Hey man!i found my old cannon Powershot sx110is I've been facing issue related with it's battery i replaced the batteries but still I don't even get 10 mins backup and it always shoes low battery indication would love if someone helped me out with this 🙏🏻

The muzak adds nothing and is very distracting.
