So which camera or film do you prefer? And which photo was your favorite? (Or did you not like any and all of them were horrible.... LOL) Comment down below =) I really liked the L35AF...
Nice review. I own both cameras. I believe the MJU lens is better. Now, is it worth the price tag? I'd say value wise the Nikon is great and will do the job just fine. You should've used the same film stock for a proper comparison.
I've also worked with both, it's really a matter of what you want your camera to be best at. The Nikon has great image quality and just ok build quality (although I will say these things are not super reliable and a trip to the repair shop is a bit of an inevitably), and the Olympus has great build quality and just ok image quality. Personally I use point and shoots as an everyday carry type camera so the build quality aspect is super important and I prefer the Olympus for that reason. Both are great cameras though, just wish the Nikon was sturdier and less issue-prone.
Thanks for the review! I’ve been eyeing these cameras as well so it was really helpful!! Great shots btw did you take these around Tsing yi? I live around there so it was great to see
Great video!! I’d love to see you do a comparison of the Pentax PC35AFM to either the mju or the Nikon! I got one this winter as a nice alternative to the mju. Really happy w how it performed - mainly used it in daylight but haven’t gotten to do much in lower light settings just yet!
The Nikon is definitely sharper but for the photos it's difficult to say which ones I like more. Some are better with a film stock, some are better with the other film even if they're slightly less sharp, in my opinion.
The Olympus mju is sharper by miles. Exhibit A: 2:29 you can see individual holes of the red bench behind the guy's back in the Mju, whereas in the Nikon it's a muddy mess. Exhibit B: 2:09 the yellow strip on the left shows clear outlines of every single brick in the Mju whereas in the Nikon it's more like a solid yellow color strip.
Great video man! Where are you from? You don't like manual camera setups? I had a nikon n2020, the AF was most of the time off but being that it was film it still looked amazing.
I guess there's a time for manual shooting. I kind of want something simple to ease my way back to film, don't really want to fuss with settings. But maybe in a few weeks, I'll start to look at more manual setups actually, because I find myself slowing down and taking my time for each shot. And kind of tired missing focus some of the times. Oh, from Hong Kong, but I studied in Toronto.
Well done Chuck. The Nikon looks way sharper although both are good cameras. Would like to see you shoot more with the Nikon maybe a full review on it would be cool. I liked the bridge photos on minute 3 (I think). Keep it up!
Yeah its pretty sharp and definitely not a lot of people are jumping on it so the price is still reasonable. I like the bridge photo too haha. I should make a poll...haha to see which is everyone's fav.

Ridiculous prices they charge for the Olympus nowadays. I can see this recession potentially reducing the price of them and all analogue photography gear.
Great comparison and thanks for introducing us to a lesser known point and shoot! The Nikon is sharper, but the Olympus seems to be a bit more brighter/overexposed. It might also because of the difference in film stocks. In any case, great work! I was in HK visiting family a couple of years ago, but that was before I got into film. Would love to visit again. It's definitely a photographer's playground
In times like this, we can only turn to lesser known cameras cuz everything is so expensive... Thanks for liking HK, it's definitely an interesting city.

This is af2 version and films are different too so you’re not comparing lenses using two different films because they have different grain and color saturation. The photos look nice.
I got a good deal on this exact Nikon, from the thrift store. Then the film counter stopped working so I tried to fix it myself... needless to say it is sitting in the drawer broken now 🙃
@@81springbrook96 I just read that there's no button to disable the flash and you have to actually keep hold of the flash from popping up. Does this get annoying?
@@sebcastilho I think it's not the worst design. Since you know when the flash pops up and you can just hold on down until you release the shutter. But I didn't find it to trigger too often during broad day light. Unlike the mjuii ......
@@81springbrook96 I have. Painful to mess up a good camera and I do use the "straps". I think I fumbled pulling it out of my pocket too hurriedly for a shot. If you drop the Olympus, be sure to squeeze it back together. Mine separated and I didn't notice it right away.
hey ivan, yeah, cuz i also wanted to see how different film stock would perform as well, I thought the cameras would perform similarly anyways. But anyways.. I've sold the nikon already :(
@@81springbrook96 no the l35af 1000 asa it looks better too got that f4 red bit on the grip it looks cool. But Robert Frank used the mju ii so its iconic because the GOAT used it......
The L35AF has a lens which is shared by several of Nikon's more expensive cameras and is solidly built. The quality of the Oly is basically that of a disposable camera plus autofocus, barely qualifies as a snapshot camera. No comparison at all, notwithstanding the ridiculous hype attaches to the Oly.

Yea it was my first time comparing cameras and I thought it would be nice to see how different film looked side by side.
I agree pls use the same film.. anyway great review and photos
I always love seeing camera/lens comparison video's. Well done!
what more comparison would you like to see?
Nice comparison, great work keep it up.

I would say they are both sturdy enough for everyday use. But I guess everyone‘s day is different. 🤷
Thanks for the review! I’ve been eyeing these cameras as well so it was really helpful!! Great shots btw did you take these around Tsing yi? I live around there so it was great to see
Yes ah! I live in Tsing Yi :) You can DM me on ig and we can shoot tgt haha

I just bought the L35AF on eBay and luckily got given the mju. Great video! Thank you
Lakshane that’s definitely a camera I regret selling. Rugged little camera. Good looking.
81 Springbrook the MJU II?
Lakshane regret selling the Nikon
Great Review, thank you very much! Cool photos as well!
Hope it was helpful!
@@81springbrook96 yeah it definitely was! Really pointed out the strengths of both cameras to me!

Thats awesome bro!

Good stuff, there’s always hype around the Mju 2 but there is better options out there!
oh definitely, but not much else in this form factor with f/2.8
Ridiculous prices they charge for the Olympus nowadays. I can see this recession potentially reducing the price of them and all analogue photography gear.
Yeah I got it for around hkd600 (2010 maybe) but now it's hkd1200 I see some local online places
My experience was quite similar with both of them. I kept them both.

Yeah, will definitely try with same film next time. Thanks for the comment!
nice video comparing the too. i have been eyeing a nikon af35 myself. gonna check out some other videos - subbed 😊
Thanks for the sub! AF35 is def a nice camera considering the price.
Try find one big man
Great video..thanks for the comparison! .... Btw, you have a L35AF2, which is a downgrade from the original L35AF.
Yea. The original does seem better. Like many other things...
I got a good deal on this exact Nikon, from the thrift store. Then the film counter stopped working so I tried to fix it myself... needless to say it is sitting in the drawer broken now 🙃
I see people selling it for "parts" on eBay for at least USD10 , so at least its not total junk yet. lol
Did u use flash while taking a photo during the day?
no, it was really sunny that way. Why? Did it look like I did? :)
the nikon is going to be my next camera. just waiting to get a good deal on it. thanks for the great comparison!
glad the video helped :)
Hello, is there a focus and recompose function with Olympus??
Yup, you half press and re-compose
Does the Nikon miss focus much? My MJU II misses like 10-20% of the time
The MJU ii definately misses focus more because the Nikon theres a needle in the vf that shows the focus distance, so u can somewhat double check
@@81springbrook96 I just read that there's no button to disable the flash and you have to actually keep hold of the flash from popping up. Does this get annoying?

Your Nikon is a L35AF 2.
Anyway, subbed,
byebye
Why wouldn’t you of used the same film ?
Just ended up this way 🤣
Like Olympus mju ii Fujifilm color 200 ✅
Don't drop either one of them, use the camera strap and be careful with them. They are not being made any more 😀
I don't think I've ever dropped a camera, but it's a matter of time 🤣
@@81springbrook96 I have. Painful to mess up a good camera and I do use the "straps". I think I fumbled pulling it out of my pocket too hurriedly for a shot. If you drop the Olympus, be sure to squeeze it back together. Mine separated and I didn't notice it right away.
Pointless without using the same film in each camera.
Yeah, maybe next time:)
How do you define "100% crop" in a film based picture?
just the 100% crop on my scans :)
Why are you using different film stock in the review? like dude...
hey ivan, yeah, cuz i also wanted to see how different film stock would perform as well, I thought the cameras would perform similarly anyways. But anyways.. I've sold the nikon already :(
Exactly my case 🤣 thank you
happy to share :)
hong kong !!
Do you live in Tsing Yi? 😂
yes! most of my shots are from there :)
Bro I would rather u talk into the camera then hold a mic. It’s irritating me
sorry mate. haha, maybe in the future, but not any time soon
81 Springbrook my nigga smh 🤦♂️ ok better than nothing
81 Springbrook keep the fire vids coming
@@MrSodaBelly thanks man. Hang in there lol
I have the first one its better in my opinion
the MJU ii? Yeah, love the sliding shell design, I can just throw it in any bag without having to worry about it.
@@81springbrook96 no the l35af 1000 asa it looks better too got that f4 red bit on the grip it looks cool. But Robert Frank used the mju ii so its iconic because the GOAT used it......
And mju ii is waterproof
@@AI-Hallucination oops i don't know who Frank is...let me google him later :)
No, the mju ii is not waterproof, at least not 20 years out of the box.
Show us some bokeh please!

hey! thanks for commenting! I just posted a new video, drop by when u have time :) and yes, the mjuii is def too hyped up.
