Incidentally, this video is quite helpful for me! It helped me to some extent to find traces of a camera I have. I have a camera that is branded as a Digicam, but until now I couldn't find anything about it because people call all small cameras digicams. But when you showed the concord site I noticed the concord 3047, very similar to my digicam. But mine is 6 megapixels, exactly the same appearance of the housing. Mine takes similar photos to yours, in fact I like this type of poor quality photos. Mine does exactly the same distortions, but I don't think it's from scanning, because it only does it when I use continuous shooting mode, when I take several pictures one after the other and they haven't been written to the card yet. Maybe it's some cache memory and data transmission problem. If I wait for each photo to be saved to the card, there is no problem. But in the highest resolution, the pictures are saved very slowly to the card, maybe more than 30 seconds. I love shooting with this camera though, I love that old imperfect feel it gives. I like your photo with the river and the bench, it has a sense of solitude. I'll do a review in a few weeks of my digicam. I buy my cameras from the flea market, and your videos are useful for me to familiarize myself with some camera models that I can see on the flea market, to know if they are worth buying. Thanks for the videos you make!

It’s definitely possible to take some interesting photos with this camera, it has a very unique imperfect look to it! The bench photo is my favorite I’ve taken with the camera so far.
About the distortions, I did some more testing and I noticed when the camera is on a tripod this effect doesn’t seem to appear, even if many shots are taken in a row. Pressing the shutter button and then moving the camera causes distortions, or having something move in frame also causes it. Still I got most of my distorted images when I took a series of photos. Probably I moved the camera before it took the photo because it was still writing the previous to memory.
Unfortunately using the camera has become a bit more difficult because it refuses to read the SM-card now. So I only get 9 photos in the internal memory and I have to use a WinXP machine to unload them!
Thank you very much for watching!

@@mikaelrphoto Maybe you're right, I haven't done tripod tests. I'll try next weekend. It will be interesting if I purposely move it in a certain directions. Maybe you should try other cards, or try to clean the contacts of the slot. I have an XP machine on purpose, I have to use it often with these old electronics. But now I found a camera that seems to want Windows 98 :D It doesn't even have a display...
