  • I love these old digicam type compact cameras!
    In this one I take the Canon Powershot SX510 HS mini bridge camera for some PoV Street Photography action and talk a bit about why I enjoy using these types of cameras so much.

    I picked up a used Canon SX70 a few weeks ago. It's amazing what 60x optical zoom can do. I do use a phone (Pixel 6) for Facebook and Instagram stuff, but always add in a few camera shots when I'm back home.

  • @Bigfarmer8

    That was fun indeed. Loved the sneaky shot of Chris as well. And that points me to the idea that such a camera is great for street photography because of that zoom range. You can take photos without people ever knowing you were there (and thus acting as normal as they do). A lower picture quality is not an issue in street photography at all.

    I have seen tons of very good photos taken with this camera. How is it “kind of bad”? I mean, it’s not an expensive camera. It’s a bang for your buck camera. The CMOS sensor is quite good and about as good as I’ve seen for the price, paired with pretty decent features, it’s a great option for an amateur that just wants to take clean photos and play around with editing.

    • @DavidFlowerOfficial
      @DavidFlowerOfficial  7 днів тому

      It’s kinda bad because without that zoom, your phone is better and phones compared to actual cameras are garbage. It’s a fun camera for sure but the image quality is pants. For any beginner wanting to learn they’d be much better off buying an ancient dslr and kit lens as the image quality would be significantly better and when it comes to editing, they’d have the option to shoot in RAW unlike with this camera.

      @Gubers 7 днів тому +1

      @@DavidFlowerOfficial Fair enough. But for the price and features? You’ll invest far more time and money into an ancient DSLR. I guess it all depends on how much experience and effort someone can put into it.

      @Gubers canon 400d regularly runs at about £30 and they practically give away those kit lenses. I just bought a Sony Nex 3 for £31 so there are far better options out there for not a lot of money, but to each their own.

    Share your thoughts on bad, old cameras. Much more fun, challenging and creative than a phone. Just received a Samsung S850, and it's obviously dated and unremarkable, but it has magic powers that my iPhone 15 lacks: flaws and shortcomings, and it makes you think and connect. Even when the phones are on Sony A7R5 level, they won't replace my camera.

    • @DavidFlowerOfficial
      @DavidFlowerOfficial  Місяць тому +1

      It depends on what you want to use it for. If you want a cheap super zoom camera then it’s not a bad option, but if you’re getting into photography with the intention of wanting to learn how to effectively use a camera, then I’d recommend an old apsc canon dslr and something like an 18-135 zoom and with that you’ll get a real camera feel with full manual and auto controls and a good all rounder lens. Another option would be an older mirrorless system like micro 4/3 or Sony apsc that has a massive range of pretty affordable lenses and all the same camera functionality to learn with.
      Hope that helps and thanks for watching 🖖

      @1Turk_____________Turk It’s more difficult with a smaller sensor but background blur can be done if the distances between the camera, the subject and the background are right. A closer subject will generally cause the background to blur more. It’s much easier with a fast lens and bigger sensor but you can get background blur with this👍

    • @DavidFlowerOfficial
      @DavidFlowerOfficial  3 місяці тому +1

      The reason I no longer include settings is because they change from image to image and camera to camera so they are ultimately useless to you. With cameras like this though I tend to let the camera do much of the work and shoot in P mode with iso as low as it goes and exposure compensation set to -1/3 stop.
