Minolta Hi-Matic S2 | Cheap 35mm Camera Overview

The Minolta Hi-Matic is a great little line of cameras that had some really cheap options available! Today I'm showing off my Minolta Hi-Matic S2 along with some examples of Velvia & Ektachrome slide film as an example of a 35mm camera that's small, cheap and more reliable then you would initially assume!

Point and shoot cameras make shooting film so much easier especially on trips where you don't always have the time to use an SLR. Some of my best slide film shots have come from my fuji point and shoot

Hello! Thank you for the great episode. I just discovered your channel a few weeks ago! I have a AF version of this camera. Now i want to try it out.

[@k1773ns]

Super awesome review. Thanks man

[@Nathanthefool1]

I am enjoying this channel a lot. Keep on keeping on, bro.

[@gerardasigurado516]

Watching from the Philippines right now sir.

[@JammiYork]

Iconic photos were shot with that camera. Beastie Boys, Run DMC to Cindy Crawford and Slayer by Ricky Powell in the early 80's.

[@zouteharing007]

I have the AF version.
And I will test it out one day

[@blacklangster1141]

5:01 Ha! I’ll always instantly recognize Riverdale! Weird we live in very close neighborhoods.

[@Mc007Queen]

Very similar to my Yashica Auto Focus camera that I got back in the 80s as a gift

[@pembridgehouse]

Great review. I have one of these. It does well with negative film and never thought to try slides. I will now.

[@keithhoncho]

What do you mean by slides?

[@pembridgehouse]

A slide is a mounted transparency for showing on a screen in a projector. It was common in the pre digital age to have slide nights to view our latest holiday pictures or other events. The term probably goes back to the magic lantern slides that were made on glass. We simply called transparency film slide film.

[@streetdocuments4452]

Seems like a fun camera that hasn’t got hit with the high price yet.

[@vince1000]

please review the rest of your cameras !

[@rickdacosta9727]

Film and vinyl? There is hope for the future.

[@DPImageCapturing]

I found a HI-MATIC AF2 for $110 USD near me! Should I go for it?!

[@MarsKvaratskhelia]

I was thinking to buy it googled twice 😀and here we go video 😂 mama Mia

[@MarsKvaratskhelia]

Super pictures beautiful people of🏙 📸 🏬 😎✌🏼

[@gabrielgarza3707]

I want to buy this camera on eBay because all of the features you mention and I like to get a good point and shoot that uses AA batteries. But how do you know if you're in focus?

[@MyNamesComics]

It will have a light in the view finder to tell you when and what it’s focused in

[@khairulshazreen2383]

the max setting of the iso is 400, so what iso should i choose if i using cinestill 800?

[@JeanSolagnier]

Can it be used without the batteries?

[@lukesaurus8479]

Can you change the ISO for each picture you take ?

[@AnalogResurgence]

Nope, ISO is a constant for film! The film you shoot with has a specific ISO that dictates what you set the camera to

[@garylee9738]

Definitely Canadien.
