It’s amazing to see how many decent crap compact cameras there still are out there Keith. It’s great to see you unearth one after another. And that expired and also crap expired ColorPlus 200 also did a decent job in the circumstances. I’m really enjoying your videos and the photographs are always interesting to see. Keep up the good (not at all crap) work! All the best, Paul
Thanks Paul. These "crap" cameras are the last bastion of cheap film cameras these days and it is great fun trying them out. I have never loved ColorPlus, so it was really refreshing to get these results, especially as the film wasn't refrigerated - I found it in a bag on top of my wardrobe, totally forgotten about. Cheers, Keith
Thanks Marco. I think you are right in that they are just about perfect for travel cameras (though maybe not passing through airports with their security). Big open spaces in bright sunlight or in the bar using flash. Cheers, Keith
Thanks Andrew. The series is starting to get a bit "off message" with these damn good crap cameras keep popping up. I am having fun with them, but I think it may be time to shoot with some better made models. Cheers, Keith
Keith, you'll have to change the title of this group of cameras! Crap cameras that take good photos doesn't sound right, maybe "reasonable oldies" may be an alterative. As ever, an entertaining video with good results from out dated film and "reasonable budget compact camera". keep your videos coming - love them - keep me entertained. Cheers, Ray
Thanks Ray. These cameras are a bit of fun. With their limited apertures they need to be treated gently of course, but the quality can be found sometimes. Cheers, Keith
Thanks Steve. I don't know if Konica and Minolta had merged when the Konica Z-Up was released, but I know what you mean. The Pentax and Konica both may suffer from a bit of camera shake because the slow lenses can force slow shutter speeds in challenging light. The latest shoot was very challenging at times with tall broadleaf trees close together. I think both cameras are better suited to beaches and open spaces, but I was happy with both. Cheers, Keith

These little cameras used to bang in the day especially as travel cameras. Nice shots Keith.

You seem to have a knack of picking up some half decent 'crap cameras' Keith. The shots looked pretty good.

I thought crap camera 5, the minolta? It had a sharper lens.
