I just got rid of all the apps that distracted me and turned off most of the notifications and all sounds. Now it's just a really good camera and a toolkit with useful apps.
I think the bigger camera companys would benefit a lot from experimenting with a more lofi camera, fuji has found great success with their X100s, canon would really have great success with a version of this that had more "disposable camera vibes"
I have had one of these cameras (in grey though, not that awesome green) and while "I" do not have a use for it, I primarily got it for my kids to use. They go to camp where there are no cell phones allowed, but they can bring a camera. Also this camera is incredibly rugged so I dont fear it being damaged. The cost of the camera was enough that if it does get lost, I'm not out that much.
I bought a JVC Picsio camera in 2010. Barely used it. Put it in a box for almost 15 years, just like you said would happen with this one. Now, my six year old son uses it to make little videos. Glad I kept it!
I know exactly what you mean. I hate products that I “want to love” because of some feature or form factor. I can see why you like that camera, I love the form factor, it’s so smart. But, the fact that Canon, a well-respected camera manufacturer didn’t put a good camera in it makes it hard to love.
I was looking for something like this for quite a while - didn't know it exists. Too bad they screwed up the quality. The formfactor with integrated carabiner is very cool.
This honestly feels like the perfect product for me, if it had a tad bit better camera. As someone who draws, i get small inspiration hits in random places and sth like this would be so convenient to capture those frames as it looks lightweight and easy to carry. Btw great video!
Wouldn't a gopro or dji action camera be the perfect alternative? I know it's not really what you're talking about, but it would definitely do the point and shoot in a strong weatherproof package with better quality.
True, but it's still nice to have a dedicated device for things like pictures or music(mp3 players) so you don't end up with a major point of failure. If for whatever reason you can't use your phone(no battery, broke it, lost it) you have things that can still back you up on the spot! plus a dedicated small camera is really helpful for saving space on your phone lol
Love this. Have had my blue Ivy Rec for a good few years now. It SUCKS in most ways, but man is it fun and charming. Also the video quality (when set to 1080p through the app, instead of the out-of-the-box 720p) is shockingly decent, provided the light is alright. I’ll also say the colours out of it are pleasant for what it is. Great video mate
This was a really cool video! Love how amazing the quality of your video is, it’s more gorgeous than simply seeing irl. The juxtaposition between your video quality and the quality of the canon is a little funny. I think this could be good for ‘nostalgic’ ‘artsy’ type of pictures like some other people are saying, but I also see what you mean when you say it falls in that in between.
This is a great informational video! I just saw a TikTok on the Pikachu version of this and it seemed like a crazy handy camera for when I don't want to bring all of my professional stuff, so I wanted to check it out. Very unfortunate that the quality is like you said, very early 2010s smartphone-esque. I was hoping for an older feel. Still really cool and handy, maybe there's something out there similar or maybe someone should make something like it!
Very entertaining review! Thing is though, the photos look fine enough. Perhaps make a special Ivy filter in CamerBag or something and you’re sorted?! Anyway, thanks for a great vid.
that was a great video! its so sad that the camera isnt either of those things you've talked about.. it would've been amazing if had the old 2000's digicam look, i would've bought it immediately but unfortunately its not. Maybe you can modify the camera and build in another older sensor for cooler and more desirable looks? would love to see stuff like that
I want you to know that I bought the Ivy Rec based on this video. It may not take the best photos, but the philosophy of capturing the moment is more important to me.
The format reminds me of the insta360 cameras, especially as they are even easier for just taking a picture as you don''t even need to frame with them as you can frame the 360 degree image later
did you lok at that tiny instax camera from fuji? they have an absolutly tiny digital cam that can save the photos or link directly to an instax printer
I keep mine in my truck, I use it when I do not want to bring a better camera on a hike or out playing with the kids. It works well for what it is, I got it on sale for $70 so I am fine with what it is.
the video footage reminds me so much of early 2010s youtube vlogs and especially horror series emulating those early 2010s vlogs, i think it would be a brilliant choice to shoot something similar to everymanHYBRID or marble hornets on one of these things
There is a woman-owned company called Paper Shoot camera with a similar product. It doesn't have a clip, but you can add a little strap. You can also change the skin on the outside. It is about $130 though.
Is there any alternatives you’d suggest? I love this idea for my hiking trips but don’t want to spend 150 quid on something with that bad camera quality haha
honestly depends what you're looking for, if you want actual good image quality, maybe a used rx100 could be the way to go? for me I've also been digging the vintage digicam look, so I picked up a Canon Isus and I love it!
have you spoken to Canon? I wonder if they would be interested in looking into improving the photo quality, this is a great video thanks. I have subscribed.
Do you happen to have filmed this Video @ Hyde Park? I've been there in 2016, and the (admittedly blurry) background looks so familiar! (I have not watched this video completely yet) :D
@@gabrielbailey802 Hehe, close enough! :D I just remember loving all these parks there (Hyde park especially). Even seeing all these exotic looking birds quite surprised me. On that not, nice video! Keep it up!
Canon makes a few cameras which seem like great ideas, but the execution just isn’t there. The smallness and toughness of this make sense, but it just doesn’t seem worth the bother. Or something like the Powershot Zoom, which is essentially a digital monocular and and camera, provides a clever form factor, but the battery was garbage, it lacked WR so it wasn’t a go-anywhere pocket telephoto, and there wasn’t a way to force it to high shutter speeds for photographing things that were swiftly moving.
Damn, hadn't heard of the powershot zoom but it does look weird/cool! Yeah it's strange, they're the sort of things which could easily be ironed out in a version 2 and then the version 2 never comes...
Also love the design, form factor and simplicity. I might actually get one, take all the guts out and try to fit something better in. Already got some ideas.
@@gabrielbailey802 if i can pull it off, i will send you the camera to try and review 🤙 hardest part will be getting a reasonably priced camera to borrow the case from
YT recommended this video and it was enough to subscribe to your channel. I think the algorithm wants you to make weird camera and fun gadget videos. 🙂
In 200x Minolta did a Dimage series of ultra compact cameras with periscope zoom lenses. That was the stuff of dreams. Took them 2-3 sec to power on and take a shot. Overall footprint was about the same.
Sorry you don't see the fun in this camera. Maybe it's based on what you paid. When these were released I was watching the market trends And bought a handful knowing the prices were going to spike. When they did I either gave them away to friends or sold a few. Less than $50 for mine has given me a fun,, and portable camera just to have for those *snapshots*.
This is how i feel about my sony AS50. the photos look sharp but under-exposed and colourless. the other day, i took a photo of the bright yellow moon after sunsset but everything looked further than it did irl and it becomes grainy if you zoom in.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT CANON: What about this exact form factor but a slider (like a laptop webcam privacy slider) that lets you pick the VIEWER you use, and one has a wide angle lens with a similar fish-eye viewer, and on the other side it's a like 2x zoom or 3x zoom lens with similar viewer. That way it's still inexpensive, there's still no screen, and it's more univers-atile.
I think I'm the only one who LOVED the Holga Digital. It got HORRIBLE reviews. I got it on clearance for like $20 in 2017 or so. I loved the lack of screen and the simplicity. Sometimes the photos were a vibe. I'm no photographer so I am sure they are "bad" even for lofi and my skill level (or lack thereof) but I liked that 1/300 pictures that looked cool. I should dig that thing out.
Personally I think the image quality is pretty decent! For all the random things I like to take pics of I could see it working very nicely, especially if it helps me save space on my phone lol ^ ^'
I understand... I love the Canon PowerShot ZOOM. For me, the perfect form factor to easily take zoom images. It is in theory easier to use than a monocle (due to image stabilization), but the overall execution is terrible.
small digicams seem to overcompensate for their shortcomings with heavy-handed sharpening and saturation. if they would let you dial that down they might produce more pleasing results.
Good video. It could be possible someone could recreate this camera with a Raspberry PI Zero 2 W and the RP Camera Module 3 (which has a version with no IR cut filter for color IR images). The image quality would be better, cost less, everything would be open source, and it would be infinitely hackable.
Whatever lens you are using isso soft, i thought i was getting cataracts 😂. Cool video. I had one in my amazin cart for ages now, was always suspicious of the image quality though.
This idea is great, too bad about the execution. It seems like someone like DJI or Insta360 who have already demonstrated their proficiency in miniaturization could make something in this size range with a non-fisheye lens style, like 35mm full frame equivalent, and smash the current demand for digicams. I want a camera no bigger than my moneyclip that I can use for quick street snaps and off the cuff selfies and photos with friends, and it just doesn't exist. This is a CRAZY gap in the market, as the demand is clearly there.
Just run a filter on all the photos if you want it to have a worse retro vibe. 😂 IMHO, pic quality is not so bad. It's like low or mid-tier Android phone selfie cam quality.
at some point that 2016 android camera quality will be fashionable. HOLD
hahaha this one is being put in the cupboard for the time-being, but its time will come!

Something similar to this is the Fuji Instax pal. It has a tiny wide angle sensor, it produces photos that look like they're from a 2007 flip phone.

There are so many gaps in the market right now it's crazy but I feel like no one wants to experiment
We need to Kickstarter fund a good one of these fast
100% I would donate
I need you to tell me the set up of this dreamy video
damn, the image is worse than a fully functional ~$100 Xiaomi phone
Yeah it really is bad…
anyone remmeber the Flip Ultra or just the Flip video line in general? if you like this, deffo worth checking out
ohhh man what a throwback, I had a knock off Toshiba version haha
Just run a filter on all the photos if you want it to have a worse retro vibe. 😂
IMHO, pic quality is not so bad. It's like low or mid-tier Android phone selfie cam quality.
I like how it's virtually impossible to get one now too lol
Does it capture 4K 10-bit video?
have you seen the new instax pal? it looks like something similar
I have not! I had a look on their website but couldn't see anything similar. Which one are you referring to?
@@gabrielbailey802 will send you a link on insta, doesnt look like the comment worked
Interesting! Kind of similar concept, though I wish it wasn't a round formfactor. The bluetooth link to the printer is a nice touch.
I'll take it
Check out the HTC Re! Similar concept
damn, now that's a weird camera!
it reminds me of the instax pal!
