The Sony DSC-S85 Enthusiast Compact Camera from 2001: Is it Worth Seeking Out?
I wanted to give unscripted talking to a camera a shot, so much of this video will be a little long. I give a comprehensive overview of all of the controls and physical features, show what dealing with photos on a computer from the camera's era was like, and what kinds of results you can expect from it. Is it worth dealing with old-timey jank, or should it stay at Goodwill?

Vintage 28mm lenses versus newer Fuji glass! Clinical test comparison; what to expect (unscripted)
Просмотров 7 тыс.3 года назад
Thinking about buying some old manual vintage lenses? I've grabbed the modern Fujifilm 27mm f2.8 to compare it against a slew of vintage lenses from the 60's through the 90's. We'll look at a couple of clinical test shots to get an objective view and compare what to expect from these lenses, so you can decide if you like the quality they give, or if they're too old to be useful.

The APS-C DSLR lens in its final form! When it came out, reviewers were wondering why Sigma would bother making such an overkill lens for crop sensors. I don't know if reviewers just don't do their research or what, because there ARE crop sensor cameras that actually take full advantage of a lens like this: Foveon cameras. It's really easy to find Sigma copy that pretty much states this, too. L...

    I’m not sure if you’ll see this but; how much work did you have to do post processing wise, of the images and how is its auto focus. I’m think if getting an SD9 and although not shy in playing with photos after the fact, I tend to like them turn out as they were shot.

      They haven't made the xD cards in years, so they are only going to get more expensive. To transfer to your phone, you'd either need an OTG cable and card reader or transfer to the computer and then to your phone using a USB cable. Don't know if any phones have the driver needed to read an xD card. For camera to computer to phone, might be easier to use a cloud service if you're on an iPhone. Android is just plug in and drag and drop.

    I have had 5 of these over the past 5 or 6 years. There are two very common problems with the P880 - (1) Fungus! The front element is actually two pieces and the fungus gets in between them. Despite keeping my studio humidity low two of my cameras had fungus within a year of getting them used. You never know how the cameras have been treated in the past if you buy used. (2) The power switch can get spastic and not power on or off at times, sometimes just random while using it. A shot of good contact cleaner under the switch and working the switch with the battery out is all that is needed sometimes. A few years ago I shot a P880 alongside an Oly E-500 (Kodak sensor). The similarities of the output were so extremely close it surprised a lot of people. So, it's closer to a DSLR than you might think!

    Speaking of knowing what APS-C is and is not. Primarily it is not a crop sensor. But putting the wrong lens on a APS-C you end of losing some of the image. That is your fault not the sensor’s error. So go out and buy over priced lens and putting on a camera with a APS-C camera. I use Fujifilm X cameras and you can only use lenses designed for the X mount which uses APS-C sensors. In short APS-C sensors are not cropped only your lack of knowledge is.

    I have been on a bit of a Kodak buying spree, while older Canons and Nikons are getting more expensive, the Kodaks are still cheap. P712 was great also, P850 wasnt bad and can deliver nice results, Z812 and Z712 are cool also, I rather like the DX7590 too (5mp with a massive EVF and robust build), but the P880 is still my favourite!!!! TOP TIP when buying on ebay, many Kodaks are sold super cheap as "untested" because the seller has lost the battery and/or charger, all the P series and several DX cams use the same battery and charger and are interchangeable. Same with the Z series which use the 3.7v Klic 8000, I have never bought a Kodak untested that didnt work when I put a charged battery in it and some have cost under £10!!!! One of the great things about these old Kodaks (apart from the lovely image quaality) is that they all have an EVF viewfinder, sadly lacking on so many cameras now

    On the photoviewer in Windows 11, it does show the EXIF data in the (I)information menu. The image at 30:30 has color as I would expect from a Fuji Velvia or similar slide that was taken midday. One of the reasons these old cameras are getting a following is the color science in them was meant to be more film-like to entice people to switch to digital. With the AI-assisted resizing programs today, either in Photoshop & Lightroom or standalone like GigapixelAI, you can upsize these low MP images to some decent enlargements. But, most enthusiasts for these cameras will be probably showing most images on things like Instagram and such. I just picked one of these up at a local pawn shop for $18 just for grins. I used to do the same with cheap and toy cameras when I was shooting seriously with film "back in the day." To get back to the fun of it and play. It came with a Sony battery, charger, and a Kastar battery that yep. Fires up and then says, "Nope, you can't play with this one." Okay, I'm paraphrasing there. Thanks for showing some love for these old cameras and sharing them with the rest of us. Side note: Arnold looks so much like my cat, Nyxie. And I think we have the same printer. Obviously people of discerning tastes. LOL.

It is a worthy and sturdy little camera which has lasted a LONG time. And while yes jpeg and 8 pixels are meh- it also has arty yum aspects. I won’t get rid of it and i paid full price New.

(Chili Power) While I get the warning that I do not use Sony batteries sometimes - and the camera shuts down automatically - I find that when I half press the shutter right after turning on the camera, it gives it something to do and I don't get the warning. Works just fine that way. Hope this helps you! Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 🤠 📸.

    Hi, question about your recommendation at 5:33 for 85mm lens I have an APS-C camera (Sony ZV-E10), does this mean you would recommend an 85mm crop sensor lens (full frame equivalent of ~128mm)? Or does that mean you would recommend a 56mm lens (full frame equivalent of ~85mm)? Sorry if this was obvious, am new to photography and want to capture realistic pictures of my babies as memories 💞

    • @forgottencameras
      @forgottencameras 10 месяцев назад

      Hello! If you're on a crop sensor, each has its own merits. The 85mm lens is going to give you more 'reach', meaning you'll be able to be further away with the noisy, clicky box thing. You'll also get better subject separation (background/foreground blur-effect). Your depth of field (how much is actually in focus) is going to be narrower, so you'll want to stop the lens down a little bit, if not quite a bit--more than you would for a person, because cats are smaller subjects. The 56mm is going to be easier to handle and less expensive, while still giving extremely good results. It will be easier to get sharp shots because you aren't as far away, so if your cat isn't so shy, I'd go with that. I recommend the Sigma 56mm f1.4 for people with Sony and Canon crop-sensor mirrorless cameras any time I am selling one at the store. It shouldn't be crazy expensive on the used market, either. Alternatively, there are about a million 50mm f1.4 lenses you can go with. You'll get about a 75mm FF field of view, and they are super easy to find.

    • @ricemonsterr124
      @ricemonsterr124 10 месяцев назад

      Hi@@forgottencameras ! Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed answer. My cat is super chill whether I'm close to her or further back (and luckily this camera has silent shutter), so reach isn't a concern. So between the 50 and the 85, which one would you say best portrays a cat's proportions most accurately/true to life (i.e. the least perspective distortion)? It seems those two were the ones recommended in your video, but I assume those were recommended based on a FF body. I appreciate you providing budget-friendly recommendations, but money is no object in this situation: I don't know how long left I have with her, so I'm just trying to get on camera the same beauty as I see through my own eyes (or as close as humanly possible) before she's gone. This is silly, but I'm paranoid about looking back at these photos and remembering her incorrectly as too fat or too skinny. Your video has some great inspiration in it and I've rewatched it multiple times already :)

    • @forgottencameras
      @forgottencameras 10 месяцев назад

      ​@@ricemonsterr124 In that case, 85mm. When I do work that requires correct proportions, I shoot with a 70mm f2.8 macro, a lens designed for copy work. I actually use it for a lot, but it is really slow to focus. If money is no object, the Sony or Sigma 85mm f1.4 for e-mount is the rec. It is going to give true-to-life proportions, focus will be fast and accurate, and they are laser-sharp. Anything in the 70-90mm range is going to be proportionally accurate; going lower and you'll get some barrel distortion. With the 50mm, it is -almost- negligible when shooting people's faces (headshots). The nose might be a little exaggerated. In choosing an 85 for cats, keep in mind they are smaller than we are, so I would grab the one with the closest focusing distance. Also keep in mind that you're going to have to stop it down to f4 or f5.6 at least to get eyes, nose, and ears all in focus on a moderately close shot (moreso for a headshot), so if you end up with an 85mm f1.8, it's not a huge deal. ...which means lighting is going to be a big concern.

    I loved this camera! It was nice and light. I could shove it into a bag and not worry too much about it. At the same time, I bought the Canon EOS 10D, which I loved as well. Between the two, I think I got more use out of the P880 because it was lighter and less awkward to tote around. I recently found my P880 hiding in a box with all of the accessories including the battery, charger, hood, cap and flash! I was never able to see photos from the P880 because of noise... so it was relegated to being the "fun" travel camera. The 10D was used for more serious use like larger prints, shooting commercially and creating photos for stock photography. but was a pain to carry around.
