Hello there! Very good choice with the S80 - truly a gem and the last of its kind in that Powershot S-series. It means a lot that you trust my recommendations. 😁 You know what? I recently got the Digilux 1! I haven't tested it yet, so I can't recommend it...yet. However, it’s a Leica, has a unique and classic look, and should have some special rendering of images, so the odds are on its side, hehe.

@@ccderik yes the s80 takes lovely images and I love cloudy white balance with exposure -2/3, sooc pictures already look really good for my purposes. Congrats on your new camera, I hope you'll have fun shooting with it! I'm very curious about color science on digilux 1 compared to s80, I've seen photos with very bright red and blue sky have teal hues, would love to hear your feedback and impressions 😁

​ @marinanguyen5055 Seems like a setting for that extra retro vibe, giving a bit of a warmer tone too. 😎 I will see if I will make a winter or summer episode of the Digilux, if the latter case then it will be a while (but worthwhile). Very late autumn grey here at the moment...

Thanks for the nice comment! I'm glad the video resonates with you. I believe the autumn season inspires melancholic strokes in the editing and compositions. 😁 You should cherish your 5D - it's a unique DSLR from the "Konica Minolta window". Regarding the innovations of today...yeah I get what you mean, like mostly software updates, two more megapixels, better video capability or other things not really involving the actual photo-taking experience.

Very good point! I guess the emergence of the smartphone really killed a lot of innovation in the camera market. With that shift, the focus moved to ease of use, megapixels, and various software goodies, often at the expense of quality and craftsmanship than once defined many brands. Of course, consumer demands have changed but it is sad to see that innovation in traditional cameras has taken a backseat [adds melancholic autumn ambience].

Distinctively put! Who would've known that the CCD sensor would gain such a passionate fanbase?

Ah the Z20 - it looks hilarious. 😄 Seems to have a nice grip. Appreciate the appreciation!

@@ccderik What is really odd is it has a mechanical shutter that blocks off the LCD screen when you use the ev. There is a amazing satisfying clump when it opens and shuts. it is even behind a glass protection. the CCD is great on it too and I love the handling!

​@@thissidetowardscreen4553 That's a unique quirk, hehe. Clearly the satisfying clump sound adds to the tactile experience of using it! Will keep my eyes open for the Z20 from now on. 😁

Indeed, I think it really manages to capture the golden hues of autumn.

It does have some Bond vibes, hehe. I like its square buttons and the visible screws in the corners on the front. Now I want to find one of those to test. 😁 It's cool that memories are connected to a certain digicam like that.

That's a nice find! Well, I wonder about its battery and memory card. If the old battery doesn't have any power you should look for a replacement to the NP-80 battery (search online). The 4800z uses the now obsolete SmartMedia cards for image storage, check if it sits one in the left hand compartment. That's a start. 😁

@@ccderik ty

It looks slick, and 7 MP is definitely respectable! I see the C713 was released in 2008 with a CCD sensor, right before CMOS sensors became dominant when the 2010s arrived. 😁

@@ccderik I just think it is not as good as your Kodak, the C530. The C713 feels super cheap, the display is bad and there is some fish eye effect with the lens. I have a very similar Samsung S750, 7mp CCD, and that makes IMO nicer images. It also works with 2 AA batteries, but it has also a Manual mode where you can adjust shutter speed which could be interesting for experimental fotos.. Samsung Kameras are also super cheap, because nobody cares about that brand. Old Canon? Prices went crazy.. haha

@@ccderik Damn.. Now I compare the fotos I took from the same location at different days and I like the Kodak more.. I think I will look for a model with a view finder.. Hehe

@@GenX_in_the_wild Kodak comeback 😁

That's a great find! Double the Porsche - triple the excitement! 😉

Yeah I know the SmartMedia-cards are rare and very expensive (like a 2 MB one for 260 Swedish kronor on Amazon, lol), but I was lucky one was included when I bought the C-40. It was a small one, but I have bigger SM-cards from earlier digicam purchases. 😁 Just looked up the E-20N..it looks pro. You got an old beast there.

No, I haven't experienced anything similar. But it shouldn't be hard finding a replacement charger and/or battery for the S50 online, if you want to revive your grandfather's camera. 📸

@@ccderik thanks a lot, bro❤️

Yeah I think it holds up pretty well today. Resolution wise it's just enough, hehe. I've mostly used it in proper daylight so can't really say much about the DR, but it gives really clean images and is quite snappy in operation.

@@ccderik I am just back from Italy and took the PowerShot s70. Was very impressed with it, a bit slow but it made me slow down. I must try the s80 as I love the build of these cameras.

@@LetsMakeGhosts The S70 looks great in that gunmetal finish by the way. 😁

@@mushroomcrepes4780 now that’s a Kodak moment! 🤠

I understand you look back in wonder at this camera; it's certainly a special design, which makes it fun to use, aside from the good colors. Also, the macro mode impressed me.

Yeah, it might not have that true analogue look, but these early CCDs definitely bring another type of retro vibe, and like you say, more convenient - and cheaper too. A thought: A legacy Compact Flash-card is the film roll of the digital age. 😁

Have you tried slowmo? 🤪

@@ccderik 😂😂 I should

It's one of the special ones, for sure!

"Vi ses"=see you 😁

@@ccderik LOL. I shall have to brush up my Swedish!

Such an iconic lineup, thinking about the early days of digital compacts!

"Stan som försvann". Det är en passande plats för digicams!

Hallå där - really glad you're enjoying the channel! Yeah the auto ISO tend to go lower, so a fixed higher one can add some character. Good point about the shadows...might add to the "film look". I haven't experimented much with the ISO, but your comment gives inspiration to include it in future videos, among other tricks. 😁

Mega thanks! 🤪Yeah it's on the lower side, which shows in certain conditions and the telephoto end easily looks mushy, but you're right: The CCD sensor brings out that vibrant color pop.

[inserts shutter sound]

@@ccderik 😁

Yeah, the sliding lens covers are definitely convenient and have that cool retro vibe, but I do worry they might break easily. If only the piano black finish was metal instead of plastic, it would have been a real knockout, haha!

That's cool. 😎 You would need a card reader that takes Compact Flash cards. I'm using a Hama "35 in 1" card reader that can read many formats. It uses USB-A to connect to the computer. Depending on your computer's ports, find a USB-A or C-card reader. 🙂

@@yesteryearcameras thanks for the inspiration to investigate the S80! 😁

That's a good deal! I've noticed in the last year that people tend to put exaggerated starting prices on these units.

@@ccderik yeah, especially the canon s90, s95, s100, s110 they're so called g7x dupe lol

@@asei2177 I see, well I'm sure they are solid, but their design is very generic. 😁

Canon har alltid hög lägstanivå! 😁 Sedan är jag som sagt ett fan av deras menyer och rent allmänt deras layout på knappar och vred. Kul att någon känner igen Villis, hehe.

@@ccderik Vilhelmina är fint! Ha hyrt stuga på Kolgården som var riktigt trevligt.

@@DavidAudio_lycksele Sveriges bästa camping typ!

@@MrAndreCoutinho Thank you! It’s good to be back. Yeah it feels overshadowed by that one and other Ixuses. It’s sharp and classy. 🤵🏼No RAW though…but it’s fine with me. 😁

Speaking of the SD1000, I just saw one listed with a starting price of $150-yikes.

Canon 6D mk2 😀

I recommend getting a USB card reader that can read Compact Flash cards. Which type of USB depends on your computer's ports (USB-A or C). I'm using a Hama "35 in 1" which is very versatile, because it can basically read all types of old memory cards. 🙂

Thanksss

It is compatible with standard SD cards (not SDHC or SDXC). Those maxed out at 2 GB. However, I'm not 100 that the Pentax can handle the biggest cards, so to be on the safe side look for a 256MB-1GB card.

Thanks for sharing that piece of personal digicam history! It must have been amazing to capture London nightlife back in the early digital camera days, even with the noisy photos. Feeling so groundbreaking at the time, I can totally understand why you'd want to keep it as a memory. Have you kept the images in your archive?

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback. The G6 is a solid piece of all-round goodness. 😁

Nope, they're all jpegs straight out of the camera. 🙂

One can try pushing the "menu" button and see if the screen wakes up. What happens when you press the shutter, does it take a picture?

Good tips! 😁

Obrigado! 😎

Thank ye! 🤠

Agree, it looks better and has a beefed up grip. I'd love to find one, but they seem to be super rare around here. 📸

Thanks for the thorough comment, very much appreciated! Yeah, the interface gives me some 80s hifi/VHS vibes, hehe...it's timelessly retro. Glad you got my message: It feels a bit surreal how time seems to fly by. I know it's a cliché, but it's a really profound feeling I have regarding the 00s, and these digicams have become a symbol of how quickly time passes. Great final advice that captures the land between film and digital photography where these old compacts lie. Take a coffee and review; there will be let downs, there will be surprises, there will hopefully be magic.

@@ArminHirmer Rolls Ricoh 😉

Hello to the far east! 😁You're lucky to have that one...indeed classic looking and with the Leica lens. I've read that it is Panasonic's equivalent of Leica's own Digilux 1. Cool that you like the shots, appreciated comments. 🙏
