That's legendary! Thanks for helping me hit this milestone! 😁🥳 It's cool to reach it before the calendar turns 2025.

Thanks! Stay tuned for more. 😁

Glad you like 'em, a comment that inspires me to keep exploring on my digicam journey! 🛣📷Old digicams often have solid macro capabilities-sharp details and great close-focus distances. Their slowness, though, can be a challenge...

It's sad that there are only a few youtube channels dedicated to these old digicams. In my country most people use smartphones for photos, the other small portion using big, pro looking digital cameras. The comments on dpreview's current article about old point and shoot cameras suggest they are outdated. But I like the output of my cameras, and the pics in your reviews and others prove, that they are "alive".

Well I guess that's the case in most countries! I would love to see the trend grow IRL. From what I've noticed and read online, these old digicams are growing in popularity, especially among young people who are tired of spending every second on the phone. They seem to appreciate tech that only does "1 thing". 😎@@sanvital245

Kul att se Marikana här 🤠. I'm always on a digicam mission...

That's fantastic to hear! You seem to have a great appreciation for magical cameras. Do you have the Hexanon 40mm 1.8? I have a few other inherited Konica lenses and I'm planning to use at least the 40 mm in a future episode. 😎 The G600 is one of my favourite old compacts so far...but hey that Kodak DC4800 would be a dream to get a hold of!

@ Unfortunately, I'm looking for Haxanon 40mm f1.8 now. I'm using hexanon 28mm f3.5 for Fujifilm X-T1 or X-E1. Looking for G600 I ordered Konica KD-420Z today. I also ordered Fujifilm F31FD and Panasonic DMC-LC43 together, but I'm looking forward to the weekend. I'm looking forward to the Haxanon 40mm review.

@@dhcho4473 The 40mm is nice indeed and very common...shouldn't be too hard to find one. I recently bought the Konica KD-500Z so I'm planning to do a Konica themed review. Speaking of Panasonic I'm testing the DMC-LC50 at the moment... 😁

That's swell to hear-glad you’re enjoying it! I like the cloud(s), by the way.

Lol, damn special xD cards...😅 The E900 looks very nice though with a decent 9MP...just before the megapixels become too many. 😁

Still solid after all these years, cool!

Nice finds, the C530 is simplistically special! Cool to get appreciation from Mexico. 😎

@@wintertime7190 Watch my first episode 😂

Cool choice!

Agree, they feel overlooked. They give you a mix of a light point-and-shoot with fun effects (e.g. the start-up sound and shutter effect) and a pro finish. Moreover, the color science is retro approved.😁

Yup, and just a heads up, they shoot amazing RAW

Seems odd since the C713 is a 4 years newer camera...maybe they made it too budget-friendly. 😉

@@ccderik It is a very budget stripped down model. It also has no view finder.. Yours is much more premium..

Compared to the C530 the C533 has added 3x optical zoom...hence the "3" instead of 0 at the end. 😁

@@ОстапБендер-е8о it is detached from time, existing in a parallel universe: The digicamiverse. 😁

@@carloseduardodutra4398 sweet indeed

Hope you got it for a dime.😁I can see it's the exact same design.

Levereras. 😁

The Kodak definitely has its own distinctive color science. I believe the sensor in this particular model is a Sony CCD.

Hello there! Very good choice with the S80 - truly a gem and the last of its kind in that Powershot S-series. It means a lot that you trust my recommendations. 😁 You know what? I recently got the Digilux 1! I haven't tested it yet, so I can't recommend it...yet. However, it’s a Leica, has a unique and classic look, and should have some special rendering of images, so the odds are on its side, hehe.

@@ccderik yes the s80 takes lovely images and I love cloudy white balance with exposure -2/3, sooc pictures already look really good for my purposes. Congrats on your new camera, I hope you'll have fun shooting with it! I'm very curious about color science on digilux 1 compared to s80, I've seen photos with very bright red and blue sky have teal hues, would love to hear your feedback and impressions 😁

​ @marinanguyen5055 Seems like a setting for that extra retro vibe, giving a bit of a warmer tone too. 😎 I will see if I will make a winter or summer episode of the Digilux, if the latter case then it will be a while (but worthwhile). Very late autumn grey here at the moment...

Thanks for the nice comment! I'm glad the video resonates with you. I believe the autumn season inspires melancholic strokes in the editing and compositions. 😁 You should cherish your 5D - it's a unique DSLR from the "Konica Minolta window". Regarding the innovations of today...yeah I get what you mean, like mostly software updates, two more megapixels, better video capability or other things not really involving the actual photo-taking experience.

Very good point! I guess the emergence of the smartphone really killed a lot of innovation in the camera market. With that shift, the focus moved to ease of use, megapixels, and various software goodies, often at the expense of quality and craftsmanship than once defined many brands. Of course, consumer demands have changed but it is sad to see that innovation in traditional cameras has taken a backseat [adds melancholic autumn ambience].

Distinctively put! Who would've known that the CCD sensor would gain such a passionate fanbase?

One word: "Foveon"

Ah the Z20 - it looks hilarious. 😄 Seems to have a nice grip. Appreciate the appreciation!

@@ccderik What is really odd is it has a mechanical shutter that blocks off the LCD screen when you use the ev. There is a amazing satisfying clump when it opens and shuts. it is even behind a glass protection. the CCD is great on it too and I love the handling!

​@@thissidetowardscreen4553 That's a unique quirk, hehe. Clearly the satisfying clump sound adds to the tactile experience of using it! Will keep my eyes open for the Z20 from now on. 😁

Indeed, I think it really manages to capture the golden hues of autumn.

It does have some Bond vibes, hehe. I like its square buttons and the visible screws in the corners on the front. Now I want to find one of those to test. 😁 It's cool that memories are connected to a certain digicam like that.

That's a nice find! Well, I wonder about its battery and memory card. If the old battery doesn't have any power you should look for a replacement to the NP-80 battery (search online). The 4800z uses the now obsolete SmartMedia cards for image storage, check if it sits one in the left hand compartment. That's a start. 😁

@@ccderik ty

It looks slick, and 7 MP is definitely respectable! I see the C713 was released in 2008 with a CCD sensor, right before CMOS sensors became dominant when the 2010s arrived. 😁

@@ccderik I just think it is not as good as your Kodak, the C530. The C713 feels super cheap, the display is bad and there is some fish eye effect with the lens. I have a very similar Samsung S750, 7mp CCD, and that makes IMO nicer images. It also works with 2 AA batteries, but it has also a Manual mode where you can adjust shutter speed which could be interesting for experimental fotos.. Samsung Kameras are also super cheap, because nobody cares about that brand. Old Canon? Prices went crazy.. haha

@@ccderik Damn.. Now I compare the fotos I took from the same location at different days and I like the Kodak more.. I think I will look for a model with a view finder.. Hehe

@@GenX_in_the_wild Kodak comeback 😁

That's a great find! Double the Porsche - triple the excitement! 😉

Yeah I know the SmartMedia-cards are rare and very expensive (like a 2 MB one for 260 Swedish kronor on Amazon, lol), but I was lucky one was included when I bought the C-40. It was a small one, but I have bigger SM-cards from earlier digicam purchases. 😁 Just looked up the E-20N..it looks pro. You got an old beast there.

No, I haven't experienced anything similar. But it shouldn't be hard finding a replacement charger and/or battery for the S50 online, if you want to revive your grandfather's camera. 📸

@@ccderik thanks a lot, bro❤️

i also have this! i didnt know it could be used as a webcam tho? that's sick

Yeah I think it holds up pretty well today. Resolution wise it's just enough, hehe. I've mostly used it in proper daylight so can't really say much about the DR, but it gives really clean images and is quite snappy in operation.

@@ccderik I am just back from Italy and took the PowerShot s70. Was very impressed with it, a bit slow but it made me slow down. I must try the s80 as I love the build of these cameras.

@@LetsMakeGhosts The S70 looks great in that gunmetal finish by the way. 😁

@@mushroomcrepes now that’s a Kodak moment! 🤠

I understand you look back in wonder at this camera; it's certainly a special design, which makes it fun to use, aside from the good colors. Also, the macro mode impressed me.

Yeah, it might not have that true analogue look, but these early CCDs definitely bring another type of retro vibe, and like you say, more convenient - and cheaper too. A thought: A legacy Compact Flash-card is the film roll of the digital age. 😁

Have you tried slowmo? 🤪

@@ccderik 😂😂 I should

It's one of the special ones, for sure!

"Vi ses"=see you 😁

@@ccderik LOL. I shall have to brush up my Swedish!

Such an iconic lineup, thinking about the early days of digital compacts!

"Stan som försvann". Det är en passande plats för digicams!

Hallå där - really glad you're enjoying the channel! Yeah the auto ISO tend to go lower, so a fixed higher one can add some character. Good point about the shadows...might add to the "film look". I haven't experimented much with the ISO, but your comment gives inspiration to include it in future videos, among other tricks. 😁

Mega thanks! 🤪Yeah it's on the lower side, which shows in certain conditions and the telephoto end easily looks mushy, but you're right: The CCD sensor brings out that vibrant color pop.
