the production of this video is great. please keep exploring digital cameras, as it's a rabbit hole only so many collectors and hobbyists can dare to explore.
Thank you! Exploring digicams has now become a newfound passion of mine. The nostalgic appeal of these cameras has truly captivated me. I'm excited to continue delving into this fascinating world and discovering all the hidden treasures it has to offer.
I did NOT see that coming! Can’t believe you’re still a small channel - the video production and you are SO unique and beautiful! Keep it up - you’ll go very far 🏆♥️💪🏽
Thank you for your kind words! I really appreciate it. 😊
The visual storytelling in this video is so good.
Love the editing and the music in the background
I was searching some videos about old camera reviews and your video was recommended. Great. I will start doing it for sure.
Well, this is a real budget pocket camera (around 100 dollars new today!) so it's not really fair to compare it with a 1000+ dollars iphone. (Also worth checking that the best picture quality was selected form the settings.) If you're wanting a pocket camera that could really put your iPhone to the test you should get something like a Sony RX 100! Oh, and also if you're after that old "film look" you should get a pocket camera with a CCD sensor. This one like all or most cameras today have CMOS sensors. Most cameras from 10 years and older should do the trick!
The camera module in phones is only worth about 60 dollars. So the camera costing 100 dollars would be a fair comparison no? The price of the entire phone doesn't represent the cost of the camera. And we know the cost of camera modules of most phones because you can buy them, $60~ is pretty average for a camera module. After a year it even drops to about 15-20 dollars.
@@Myemnhk the thing is, it's not the camera module itself what makes pics and vids from smartphones look so good. It's the software, the image processing. And it has developed quite a bit, to say the least, in the last decade or so. These pocket cams aren't even qaurter, maybe even tenth, as advanced at this aspect. So @Sc0pee is entirely right pointing out the unfair comparison here. Though, the physical image sensors are probably still quite a bit better on pretty much any midrange phone too.
Cool to see your shots of Herman Park!
also the flash photos rock
Herman pPark is great! & yes! I love the flash photos too. Thanks for watching.
can you do a vlog only shot on the kodak
Hi Juliana! Your style and aesthetics of this video is amazing. It feels like a dream world. However I just wanted to let you know: This is not a 2000s Digicam.
It is a modern 2022 built model. 🙂
Hi! I'm glad you enjoyed the style of the video. However, I am aware of the manufacturing timeframe; the point is, it has 2000s technology.
Great video! I just scored a Canon Powershot sx230 hs from a local thrift store and look forward to using it!
That’s great! I hope you enjoy it.
Nice review! Have you tried changing the 'image size' setting in the menu? It's on page 43 of the fz55 user manual (you can find the pdf on google). Maybe that will make it look less fuzzy.
Oh thank you! I am going to try this.
@@julianasekai No problem! I think 16M, 14M, or 12M should look good (higher number means better quality)
I like to use my digital camera because it is easier to download to my computer. It does better in morning light and twilight than my iphone mostly because it doesn't automatically adjust. The Iphone will adjust to make a clearer photo but I was intentionally trying to create a more moody shot. I'm sure you can adjust the settings on the iphone to get the same look but then you have to remember to reset, and since the digital camera is so small I just keep the settings where I want them, pull it out of my pocket, take the shot, and move on.
It sounds like you've found a great balance between convenience and creative control with your digital camera. I appreciate you sharing your experience.
If I'm being honest, I'm quite surprised by the lack of clarity in your sample photos compared to other vids I've seen testing this camera. I've order one for myself, so I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of photos I can produce with it. Did you ever give this camera another shot? Perhaps fiddled around with the settings a little more?
I was surprised myself, but there is definitely a way to make the photos less fuzzy.
I revived my digicam from 2008 for the same reason. Nice video
That is awesome! & thank you for watching 😀
I enjoyed this video a lot. This Kodak is a mix bag for sure. It's more of a take two shots to ensure you got it. Being this isn't a true Kodak that is where i think it fails, being a licensed product instead of a Kodak team that created the software to fine tuned it to be a great all around camera, Your left with that experience of a camera from a lesser known brand. Comparing the FZ55 to my DC280/290 which are Kodaks from 1999 2MP and 2.1MP take better photos then the FZ55 in terms of being focused and better exposure. Even with my Kodak CX7530 5MP it's less of a problem being that middle ground quality great little camera from 2004. I fine the FZ55 flash to harsh adding a filter on it could help with that, the EV settings can be hit or miss +0.5 or -0.5 to ensure a better shot. I use this camera in P mode the most and gotten better results. What is amazing with this camera is the range of resolutions from the lowest to the highest all look great, and video mode is awesome as well clean image great for those fun memories. I heard the FZ45 is better in focusing, maybe one day I'll grab one to see.
This is exactly what I want to do, so Thank you so much! I want to find out if digital camera's are as good as a retro camera with film. And badly I want to leave my phone behind! ☺
I absolutely love the retro film look, but the time it takes to develop the photos can be a downside for me. That's why I think using a digital camera is the way to go! I highly recommend giving it a try without taking your phone for at least a day- it’s worth it!
Loved the video! Thank you for the information 💕
Im a digital camera avid user. Keep making videos about digital camera, Juliana. RUclipsrs like you make the digital cameras still alive. Greetings from Malaysia. 😊. Subscribe.
Aw, thank you! Will do 🥰
This is very nice, I love the visual quality and the color grade in this.
If you're looking for any unsolicited feedback from a rando though, I can hear a lot plosives and wet mouth sounds on the audio. I don't know what your audio set up is, but putting distance and some kind of a fabric, even a microcloth over the mic can help smooth out some of those harsh Ps and Bs and cut down on a lot of that.
Overall this is very lovely and I love the general aesthetic.
Thank you for the feedback, Rick. Yeah, I am still figuring out my audio setup and I will try this out moving forward.
Would make luv to you just off the strength of this aesthetic alone. Well done.
Fire review, I just recently bought this same digital camera
Nice! Have fun with it.
hey! I order mine on Amazon and it keeps getting cancelled. Do you have any idea of any places that sell it in store?
You can try Best buy or Walmart.
But why settle with the easy solution and convenience? I’m struggling with too much phone use, I’m trying out new things and what I have learned is the more difficult it is for me the more useful it is, if it makes sense :)
I understand where you're coming from. Sometimes the more challenging path can indeed lead to greater growth and fulfillment. Keep pushing yourself to try new things, and I'm sure you'll continue to discover new strengths and capabilities along the way. Your determination is inspiring!
The photos are better than most shot by smart phones.Arent they? Im going to have one.Ezy to crry.
The smartphone images often appear sharper. However, this camera tends to produce a stylized retro look more similar to the results from a film camera. In my opinion, the unique aesthetic it offers makes it definitely worth it.
Super great production
Thank you 😊
Would some-one please show me how to remove the lid covering the lithium battery? Mine will not BUDGE! I had a similar camera previously for 10 years and he same lid unlatched perfectly! IT LOOKS SO SIMPLE ON THIS VIDEO, BUT IN REALITY IT IS DIABOLICAL!
Was there a lag? I have the fz45 and it lags for about 10 seconds between photo taking. So I cant fast shoot. Does the fz55 do this?
Yes, there is a lag on the fz55 as well
Wooowww soo aesthetic !!!
Very nice video. Im currently thinking about getting a digicam. What camera did you film the video with ?
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. 😊 I filmed it with a Canon M50 Mark II. In my opinion, digicams are definitely worth it. Best wishes with your decision!
Hii I just got this camera do you find when you turn it on it takes a little bit of time?
It's quite normal for the Kodak Pixpro FZ55 to take a moment to power on as it prepares to capture photos and videos. I've noticed the same behavior with my Sony and Canon mirrorless cameras as well. So, rest assured, your camera is functioning just as expected.
I think the next stop on your journey is shooting photos with film,
Love the filming of this video! Can you let me know which memory card you got for the pixel pro? I just got it!
Thank you Hannah! I’m using the SanDisk 128 GB SD card.
@@julianasekaihi do you use the extreme one does it matter or can it just be any x
@gracereed1670 I use the Ultra plus SD card because that is what I had lying around lol. You can use any SD card really you just need to make sure the camera is compatible with SDHC or SDXC cards. The extreme cards often have higher storage capabilities and faster read/write speeds compared to the standard and Ultra SD cards.
@@julianasekai thank you so much great info!❤️
Does it include a 1/4 bottom interface for connecting handles
Yes, it does!
I think you would like the original Kodak classic models much better, called EasyShare. The colors and sharpness are much better. The M series have several nice 14MP models and are easy to use and carry. The V series 10MP and 12 MP models were Kodak's "style" models and are beautiful cameras to carry and use. I have been collecting Kodak digital cameras for many years and these two series are a great balance of fashion and classic Kodak image quality. Also, find one with the Schneider-Kreuznach lens.....a little bit sharper!
It's great to hear from someone with extensive experience collecting Kodak digital cameras. Thank you for sharing your insights and recommendations on Kodak classic models! The EasyShare series sounds impressive. I'll definitely look into these models.
it only works with a kodak sd card o i can use any sd?
According to the website, any Class 10 speed or higher. No larger than 512GB. Any Standard SD, SDHC, or SDXC. kodakpixpro.com/cameras/friendly-zoom/fz55/
Thank you for the review, I’m going to pass on this camera
