  • The Powershot lineup of cameras from Canon provide a lot of fun for everyone from casual shooters to camera enthusiasts. Especially these mid-2000's cameras with their early CCD sensors, producing lovely film like images. Much like the Powershot G9 I covered recently, this Powershot S60 features much of the same features for manual image control, including RAW shooting. For street photography, these cameras make a nice casual change to carrying a more serious set up. The question remains though, can these cameras realistically replace film for those on a budget? Well I think this Powershot S60, which sells for $30 today is a great option to do just that.

    My first camera I bought with my own money was an S60, I let my aunt borrow it and she lost it. I'm still Salty about it 20 years later. 😂. Some of the best family pictures I took were with this Camera. My mom's favorite picture of her and my brother was taken with this Camera. It truly was a point and shoot.

    My first digital camera was the Powershot S50. It's very interesting how much they changed the layout of the buttons from the S50 to the S60. These days, I do prefer other compact camera options from the CCD era, but it was a nice camera to use.

  • @derrenleepoole
    @derrenleepoole Рік тому +9

    I think the take away point to make about shooting these older CCD cameras is that they encourage a more considered approach to getting a good exposure in camera, much like you would if shooting a film camera. I love the look of CCD sensors. The Pentax K10D has a wonderful sensor and is worth checking out if you can find one. I've just also got the Sigma DP1 with the Foveon sensor. Now that is a good sensor to check out.

    Resolution these days we take for granted. In 2010 I shot with 2004 camera Powershot A400 that has only 3 megapixels yet it produces fine print at A4!
    Yet nowadays we sometimes unsatisfied with 12MP, 20MP.....time has really changed.

      It’s why raw isn’t the default on phones either. General public don’t want to edit their photographs to be able to use them.

    • @bhume7535
      @bhume7535 Місяць тому

      Because back in the day saving took forever and storing such large files were expensive. The average consumer probably isn't going to edit an image so why add it? It just introduces the possibility of consumers not understanding RAW and complaining that they don't get a decent amount of photos on an SD card.

    It was my first digital camera. It was always in my pocket.
    Very good image quality.
    It gives very fine prints in A3 format.
    I mostly used the optical viewfinder.
    I would call the video function useless. Very low resolution.
    ISO from 50-400. At 400 ISO very poor quality. I think I mostly used 50 ISO.
    Very nice fill flash. I set it to -2/3 f-stop. Used it indoors with a window or an open door in the background with fine results. It compensated to some extent for the poor high ISO performance

    Can you recommend a compact camera thats cheap and cheerful but good enough (even used on ebay) for taking pics of artwork from indoors up to size 36x24 inches.. so they are sharp enough to view online when zooming in... no need for the pics to be used to print these images from. Cheers.

    I had one of these a few months ago. Unfortunately the sensor died within a couple of hours or use. After doing some research, I sadly learnt that it was a common problem back in the day and many other cameras using the same sensor should be used with caution too. Such a shame because the picture quality was amazing and it was a nice pocket camera.

      Fyi the Sony 5 mp sensor was assembled with a glue base coating. The glue would fail and the sensor connection damaged, thus failing. Sony sensors were used on Canon Olympus and Nikon back then. There was a recall but most people just replaced the camera and did not know of the recall.

    You have quite a few people knocking the digicam wave. It’s not for everyone. I recently bought a Canon SD1000 and I take it every where and stay shooting anything that catches my attention. Something I can’t say with modern digital cameras. I have a 35mm point and shoot but with how pricey film is getting, I save it for photos that are worth it. But I love digicams with a ccd sensor. I like messing with the positive film jpeg my canon has. If you’d like to see some video I shot on my sd1000, head over to my channel. Love the video btw
