  • I loaded up five point and shoot film cameras from the 1980s and 1990s with rolls of Kodak Gold 200 and hit the streets for a head to head comparison. The contenders of this camera vs. camera shootout are :
    • Canon Sure Shot/AF35M II
    • Nikon L35AF/AD
    • NIKON Lite•Touch/AF600
    • Yashica Auto Focus Motor
    • Ricoh R1.

    Scans:
    Scanning for this project was provided by the Film Preservation Project. Shown in the video are uncorrected straight scans from a Noritsu scanner. Under normal circumstances a scanner operator would have made adjustments to each images, so you'd probably see even less variation in the images. For more information on negative scanning check out: www.filmpreser...
    Cameras:
    All five of these camera were untested thrift store finds, they had surprisingly little issues. As you can see by the images, the Yashica has got some focusing problems. Beside that, there don't seem to be any major issues. All cameras used in this video are for sale at: www.dcbryan.com...
    My takeaways:
    I was surprised by how similar many of the photos were, with some adjusting in Lightroom, maybe would be indistinguishable from each other. The old saying "It's not about the camera, It's about the person behind the camera" definitely holds true here.

      side by side with FIVE cameras as well. #respect. I also see people make comparison videos but don't show pics side by side or pics are the same photo. I made a video comparing the olympus mju II vs other cameras, I thought no many other people showed it the way I did. Props to this dude.

    Great little test. I own the Nikon L35AF2. Was my dads but he stopped using it years ago. Old camera but still works great. He would use it to take pictures of the family and now many years later I'm doing the same with my own family on the same camera used all them years ago.

    This is awesome to see this type of comparison with these five cameras all using the same film. I personally have an AF600, an L35AF, and a pair of AF35M2s which are great, but now I kind of want the R1! Looking forward to more videos!

I totally forgot that Ricoh also made a camera in this "range".

    I like the Nikon L35AF most....although there is something about Yashica in terms of tone...feels true vintage...It obviously has focus issues (?) but in general it depends what you're looking for. I don't like super sharp images personally...The Ricoh one looks similar to what you'd get with a manual 35mm camera so that's pretty impressive.

      R1 was easily the strongest IMHO. If I hadn't just pulled the trigger on an Olympus XA, I would be looking to get an R1. I need to throw at least 18 rolls through that camera before I even start looking at another film camera in that size 😂

    The Yashica Auto Focus Motor has such atrocious focusing despite having “auto focus” in the name. And unfortunately I JUST picked up one for myself before watching this video lol. Appreciate the comparison! Now I know of alternatives if the Yashica is as bad as it seems.

    @kianfakhri7892 4 роки тому

    Thank you for making this video! I love how you show comparisons. Very helpful. However, it seems that you may have mixed up which shot came from which camera because when you show the shots one by one and then all together the shots are not labeled consistently. More specifically I think you're mixing up the Ricoh R1 and Nikon Lite shots.

    Really like the idea of this but I think that theres is a mixup in the pictures taken out of the moving car. you seem to label the different from the point of taking them to the part where you show them alle 5. that is unfortunate and a bit confusing. But really like the whole setup and comparison idea.
