The Trash Camera That Makes Fujifilm JPEGs Internally
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 окт 2024
- Not all "digicams" are created equal. The Powershot G9 has a specific set of skills, being a fully manual, enthusiast-focused set of features, it focuses on higher-end compact users. However, with its specs and features, it is also capable of fantastic JPEG files, inspired by Fujifilm simulations and even some Fuji X Weekly custom film recipes for street photography. This camera is trash, but it can make Fuji JPEGs internally.

I've had the Canon G9 since it was released. Since the camera has 2 custom positions (C1 and C2), you could store 2 separate custom color profiles. Makes it a bit easier to compare plus you don't have to keep re-entering your parameters. To use this, setup your custom color profile, then go to the last item in the camera MENU tab and save to either C1 or C2.
Great idea thanks for sharing!
Thanks! I was just trying to figure this out on my g11. I was about to buy a g12 to have one for day and night recipes.
The Gs are not “trash” cameras even today - they are pretty bullet-proof compacts that have more than enough megapixels and flexible enough setting modes to produce great stills results, even for publication. The reality is the race for “more” has been fuelled by manufacturers keen to keep selling and has actually become meaningless for most practical applications. I have a couple of different Gs that I bought from new a decade or more ago - I wouldn’t part with them and on many occasions they are more convenient than the SLR/mirrorless while still enabling excellent results to be obtained.
I want to add, this video and others inspired me to buy a canon g10. 14.7 megapixels and this camera has taken some of my favorite digital photos ever. That's not to say I'd use it to replace a DSLR but the results are much better than I was expecting. They aren't good photos for a camera from 2010, they're just good photos, hands down.
Someone give this man his nobel prize
Might just 3D print one, they can't stop me... also no idea what a nobel prize looks like...
he puts the WB warmer and lower the contrast… and people say, wow now it looks like film 🙃🤣🤣🤣 funny
Canon Powershot G9 = trash???🤨
Did you not listen ?
He said by todays standards
Probably just clickbait, even by today's standards its still pretty damn good, nothing even close trash .Go use an early 2000s Vivitar if you want actual trash lol
i just grab an used Panasonic Lumix LX7 with a great condition for $160 and watching your video makes me feel trying to make the fake Fujifilm looks, and you know what i'm really suprised at how good this old camera with just 10MP and a fake Fuji color looks, and lucky for me that LX7 got 2 customized profile (C1 & C2) so i can just save the recipe and used it whenever i want to.
I follow most of your recipe and added some tweaks:
Contrast -2
Sharpness -1
Saturation 0
Noise Reduction -2
White Balance: Cloudy +1 Red +2 Blue
Thanks for sharing! That's awesome to hear 😄
I own a LX7. Small & fun camera. 1” sensor. 24-90mm f1.4-2.3 lens. I can recommend this camera.

@@martingreenberg870 well LX10 is the one with 1 inch sensor, LX7 still using 1/1.7 inch sensor, still great for 2024
I bought my G9 new in 2008 and it is still in mint condition and has given me 100% reliability ever since. It slips in my pocket easily and is still really nice to use. Can't compete in many ways, obviously, with my Fuji X-T5 or X-H2 but I still use it quite regularly. By the way, I was directed to your site by Tom Calton who spoke highly of you, and it is a good recommendation if this nice little video is representative of your work. I enjoyed this.
I picked up a G10 a few months ago in prime condition and i love it. Its a bit rubbish at night but during the day the colours it produces are amazing. I personally shoot JPG only in positive film profile which i think looks amazing. Its a great pocket camera and in my view one of the best digicams to buy given its professional features if you want them. They are also amazingly well built.
Thanks for sharing!
G10 is my fav of canon powershot series
G1 X is my fav of Canon powershot series.
I still have my Canon G10, which has way too many megapickles for its sensor size. But... it produces similar results to the G9 SOOC, and I've found myself reaching for it occasionally in recent months. Mostly because folks like you have inspired me to pick it up again. Awesome to see your results from the G9!
Thanks and great to hear!
I found a g12 in my area but has less mega pixels than the g10. What are your thoughts on that pixel count?
The G9 has a more 'filmlike' color to it than the "Fujifilm 400" X-Pro 1 IMO, the G9 looks like Kodak Gold 200 to me which is FAR more iconic than Fujis 400 which was a bit 'meh' to me IRL film. The real deal Fuji 400 was not "pretty" film, it was good stuff but it has a slight blue tending tint cold color to it. Kodak Gold 200 has a "golden" hue summer vibe to it which is massively more iconic to me, I still have hundreds of prints from the Kodak 200 made in the 80s and 90s and mixed in are some Fuji 400 and you can tell immediately which ones.
The Fuji was/is probably more accurate to life but that shouldn't be the goal I think, or for me it wouldn't be at any rate. The Gold 200 slight red/yellow tendency look is "nicer" than the boosted blue/green of the Fuji in terms of "retro style" even though it's a bit less accurate, what the Kodak does 'badly' is green/blue which nets you washed out sky blue and muted green without 'pop' but in return it gives you golden sunlight and earth/sand tones that you can almost crunch your teeth on.
To be a bit less poetic etc, Fuji 200 was OK, same tint but far less terribad than the 400, Kodak Gold was THE film then, specifically the 200. Where I bought film you'd only really get the Fuji if the Kodak was sold out, or you needed 400 for the speed, which I did when shooting horse riding stuff. For some reason back then it felt "cool" to be shooting 400ASA and Fuji was "more pro" somehow, but now all these years later I much prefer the Kodak look because it's a more relaxed informal 'vibe' to me.
Now I do feel it the same. For me the best look is Kodak Portra 400. Anyways Fujifilm has always been way too cold. That's why I prefer Olympus cameras even today. They do render kinda Kodak like warm relaxed. Olympus E-1 and all the pro compacts of that era (Olympus C-5050) do produce amazing jpegs !
you can get these for a pretty good deal. I found a guy selling 2 of these online for 300,- i bid 150 to buy 1 of them. He said that he wanted to sell everything at once, but that for 150 i could buy everything of him. One of the cameras came new in the box and was never used before, the other one was used but taken care of perfectly. I sold the used one for 150 and kept all the extra accessoires for myself.
Just recently got back into amateur photography after a significant hiatus, where as before I chased “the new big thing” I’ve gone back to the old stuff, also a switch from my familiar Nikon to Canon. picked up an EOS 500, 5D and more recently a G7 for everyday carry, must admit the other two hardly come out with me now, loving the G7 and a huge thanks to you for this video as I’ve got my images looking just how I want them 👍🏻
Great video George. Thanks for sharing. Just an FYI, I tried these settings on my Canon S90 and I got very similar results. (The S90 has the same sensor and processor as the G11)
Thanks! And that's great news, cheers for letting us know!
I have to try this on my recently accuired s100!
@@davidkarlsson4103any luck doing this in the s100?
how did you manage to get the custom color settings? mine is always set to off and I can't seem to enable it
You are the gem! Really! Like your videos and bit of a gag in them! BTW Powershot G9 is my first own digital cam so after your video I decided to give it a second go in 2023!
Bow!
Awesome to hear and thanks!
the powershot G9 works surprisingly well if you're trying to emulate a dispo look
Agreed, I've been trying more of a greenish hue with heavier contrast recently but still working out the tweaks
Love how it says kinda a Fuji copy and I’m like wtf how !!! Literally looks nothing like it and then I’m like wait these don’t look anything like Fuji superia either looks like your everyday Fuji digital image to much magenta or too much green in the highlights and shadows .. just looks bad
Fair opinion!
Love when you make G9 videos, now I'm going look at other fuji recipes see if portra 400 works 😈 I've been enjoying turning off the display and using the lil ovf.
Cheers! If you can get a portra setting working let me know, that'd be awesome!
You can turn the display off? Where is that setting at?
@@jacobbaldwin3907 hit display a few times
Man, you nailed the settings to give the film look in digital, is working wonderful with my Canon S90, thank you.
Great to hear!
I find it interesting that just on first glance G9 photos don't look that different than the X-Pro photos. I know that if you blow them up and start pixel peeping and all that jazz, the files will start to fall apart but for simple photos that you don't plan on using for "professional" work this seems to be perfectly fine.
Definitely differences but agreed most non photographers probably won't notice on socials
"Professional work" includes all the terrible images we see everywhere and make fun of tho!
I have a G9 and a G10. I’ll try this with both cameras. The two cameras are pretty close to identical but the 10 has a little bit wider lens.
Yes let us know if it works well!
I'll have to see about doing something like this on my PowerShot G12.
I haven't touched my G12 since I bought a Canon EOS R8 this January, although I've had my G12 for 12 years (bought in 2012). I've had pictures from it feature on my social media, and I love the aesthetic it produces straight out-of-camera.
Great video! The X-Pro 1 is "modern" with higher contrast and poppy colors. The G9 has a warmer look in the highlights with lower contrast. Both are nice. The G9 just looks so film-like. I have the G11 that I always keep in my Jeep. CCD sensors will always be my favorite for street photography. I just wish the G11 was a little more shaper but that might be my fault not nailing the focus and always shooting in F2.8 ha.
I legit just got one in the mail today, going to love taking pics with it
Awesome!
Nice one. I have two G9's. Great little cam's.. Good thing about the G9 is it's lens is 35mm at its widest aperture.. Not 28mm like the later model's.. Also the Nikon p7000 p7100, are great for monochrome. Thanks for the menu recipes.. 👍
Nice! Yeah I often miss the wider 28 on cameras like this
Thank you, for the free presets...i like it btw😊
You're very welcome!
Thanks, I ordered one for 70 euro so I have a nice compact to have with me. Despite the numerous DSLR's I have laying around. This is gonna be fun
Great video, I have two of those. The first bought in 2007 and the second "Nos" many years later. Use them both from time to time and enjoy them!
Good to hear!
Thanks for the info. I will give it a try on my G11 to see how it translates over.
Let me know the results!
Worked great on my G11 and S90. CCD 4 life
The G9 has a kind of predetermined breaking point - a cable connection in the lens breaks far too early. I had bought a G10 and thought that the known problem had been solved. But shortly after the warranty period ended, it too was defective and the repair would have been so expensive that I preferred to buy a new camera: The Sony RX10 is still with me to this day without any problems.
It looks cool, though the film setting felt very warm-going-into-yellow for me. But that could be what Fuji was going for with their films at the time
Yeah the Xtra 400 we're emulating is a bit yellow, when I toned it down it lost the feel - a bit of a balancing act!
Fun but useful videos! So long as Fuji effects are mentioned I might as well point out that the free Darktable photo app has a Velvia setting. It produce color very close to your "sorta Fuji" samples.
Just tried them on my old 7mp Canon ixus 70/ SD1000. Has same setup on colours and they work great. Thankyou!
Awesome!
In daylight, my G9 produces lovely images. Its size and lens make it a perfect travel camera. And the built-in flash is backlit fill-in magic. Craigslist: $70.
This camera is literally excellent … I have it and it is one of my companion for family moment (and I have the x100f , ricoh gr iii, fuji xf10, LX100 …) but this camera is never too far. Love the Colors and the way I set them to my taste and that’s the most important thing
So for web publishing it’s more than you will ever need and for prints I print some A3 photo with no complaint.
As I live in a sunny island the ND filter become handy.
Really nice camera, well let’s say companion
Great to hear you choose it so often alongside things like the x100 and gr!
I had a G9 before my X100. Its a great camera. Amazing B&W shots to be had with this camera
I got the g10 in a pawnshop before to find out your videos about it. Its cool to see the potencial it has, im gonna be trying the settings.
Definitely give them a try!
Thanks to your last video about the G9, I bought one in great condition for €65 and I love taking photos with it. This video has increased my curiosity to shoot even more. Please do more on this camera, I think it is a forgotten gem.
That's great to hear and maybe I will!
Excellent video I just applied it on my canon a710is and it works very well thank you I hope one day you will make another similar video ✌🏻
That's great to hear and yes maybe I will!
My nephew has one. I had a g12. Loved it. my favourite and most used digital camera I have had.
That's great to hear!
Surprisingly I can do the same settings adjument on the Samsung EX1 (or TL500, depending your region)
😂 Have G5, basically the same camera. Actually any camera from that time. They all had CCD sensors.
I still love my CHDK PowerShot. It was how I got into using raw files.
Before Fujifilm came out with the X-pro1 I was really tempted to buy a Canon G11... The only thing that stopped me is the inability to shoot low light
Very different cameras in my opinion!
Wow! Thanks a lot again! Ill try that on my g12😮🔥
Give it a go!
Awesome!) George, with this video you inspired me to buy a G9 and today I'm going to a neighboring city to get it! Thank you!)
Awesome! Hope you enjoy 😄
Currently I can suggest the Canon G7 Mark III or Ricoh GR III.
Good ideas!
Bad ass! I actually i started collecting these a few months ago locally. Just got a G12,G15,G15,G16. The G15’s were like new. I was Waiting patiently to see who was gonna start the hype first. Great video. I love these lil guys. I use them as my daily’s along with my xpro when i need a little bit of zoom.
P.s. awesome monty python clip 😜
Have you happened to notice....if there is a way to "pre-zoom" and set a G12 for "zone focusing"? I saw in the video that Aperture could be fixed. But, could the near and far focus be fixed for quicker street photography? 🙂 (When I used the G12 some years ago for street stuff, there was kind of a long shutter lag....but maybe I need to change my settings.)
Thanks and thanks! 😄
My old beloved G12 has a new lease of life. I can sell my Q2. **NOT**
Hahaha sell it all
i just got a Canon G10 few months ago. Happy to see more your video on Canon G9 trick or more we don't know ! Thanks so much
Awesome!
Set this up on my G9 and took it out this morning,loving the results it gives
Awesome!
I saw another youtuber passionately describe the Canon G7 Mark II as being quite filmlike because of its imperfections. I wonder how different it is then the g9.
I think the he G7 Mkii is more up to date but similar images
Very cool! Picked up a G16 for free in my local Buy Nothing group on FB. Gonna give these settings a shot. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Ended up buying this camera off the couple mint that's unlike new condition. Had to charge the battery when I got it. Got the charger and little carry case and an s16 gig SD card in it. I took some pictures and the picture qualities very crisp but in watching a lot of RUclips videos and I guess some person bought this camera new or used to brought it to a photography class and the photographer teacher ended up buying one for cheap and ended up going out and taking some capturing pictures and landscape pictures and they just came out. Unbelievable. He was very surprised on this camera said it's probably his best compact camera that he would recommend
i have bought this camera after your last video about G9 and it is one of my favorites purchases
Great to hear!
I did it with a Canon Powershot D30 waterproof.
It's works great too.
Thanks
was looking forward to another g9 video and you did it… will you make another one? because after watching your videos i have decided to buy the g9😂❤
Maybe! Let's see what happens 😅
So I have an old Canon Powershot SX40 something or other… I used this camera for years. I’ve had no use for it since I got my Sony ZV-e10, especially since the powershot doesn’t even shoot RAW. I’m actually pretty stoked to take that bad boy out again after watching this video. It’s not as compact as the camera you’re using here, but it could be useful to take on long trips just in case my ZV-e10 batteries run out.
That's great to hear!
@@GeorgeHolden Good looks on the tips! Definitely going to make a video about what I make with that cam.
Canon G9 is my first digital camera
but i can't find the battery now🤣
They're also annoyingly difficult to find spare!
Even the old Nikon 8400 takes very very "film like" shots. Try it and let me know!
Would love to try it!
I have found the best replicative film performance out of my Nikon P7000. It is an absolute hidden gem as far as these digital cameras go.
That's great!
Love you man!
You too Dan 😅
Thanks for the video.
I have never owned or used the Canon G9, but I have owned and used the Canon G5, G11, and G15.
I also own and use the Fuji X-Pro1 and X-Pro2.
I agree with your comparisons between their jpeg images.
Thank you!
But still, it makes better photos of dusk and dawn clouds, than my $500 phone.
Ccd sensors for ya
Great video! G9 jpegs are quite yellow looking!
They were supposed to be yellowish for the simulation!
Can you also cook some decent b&w SOOC with this oldie?
Helpful videos! I subscribed 😊
I bought that camera new.
Took nice pics in daylight for its time and sensor size. High iso was soooo bad. lol
thanks for making this expensive now
Good video. Makes me want a... XPro1 😅
Hahahaha 😅
I like what you were able to do but I think I still prefer the Fuji colors but it makes sense the Fuji camera is newer
Agreed it'll never replace a real fuji in every way
not even near?! or its my monitor?
Doubt monitor makes a difference, they're not identical!
Still very happy with Olympus MR-30 SZ
Have the G3 5 and 6 and love them.
And just like that, the Canon G9's price was irrevocably inflated on the used market
One sold on eBay today (14th May) for £20 😂
@@GeorgeHolden for parts/spares or fully functional? Either way the seller is either an altruistic demigod or pretty pissed
@@RSA548 fully functional! Most working are going beneath £100 but there are some going for more through auctions - always sort by lowest price and 'auction ending soonest' to get good deals. You can see cheapest sold recently by filtering by 'sold items' and you'll see recent sold prices
Just adjusted my settings…THANKS!!
Glad it helped!
I'll try the same settings on my ixus 70 (aka sd1000)! Thanks George
Thanks for the tip.. I replicated it in my G15 with great results..
Good stuff!
I have a Canon Powershot G11 that I took along on a recent trip to London and Paris, along with Canon S95 and a Canon G7XII. Took sooo many photos with this kit and just love how they turned out! #OldCamerasRock #OldNotDead
Awesome!
Seems like you just need to kick up the contrast in sun light and it’s right there
Thanks it was my first camera now using a6000 & 6600 !! Didn't even know that g9 have manual custom colour features lmao 😛
It does indeed! Funny I try to remember if the A6000 could use similar settings?
@@GeorgeHolden a6600 does have RGB, gama, logs for colour tweaking but 6000 have basic limitation over colour profile !!
@@kismat_rana Yeah the A6300 onwards have full picture profiles! I remember the A6000 being limited and having less pleasing colours out of camera - definitely the A6600 is up there with their full frames
same settings are available on S95, too ;)
Great to know!
I have a G11, think I need to dig out the battery and play with that again.
I have the Canon G15.
Love it!
Nice!
i have the G9 and S95 and setup up both to this custom settings. Thanks!
Awesome! I'm getting an S60 soon to try the same settings
Thanks a lot. I applied the settings on my S95. Let's see about the results ... 🙋♂️
Let us know!
anyone else catch it? .... power isn't shutter ;) hahaha amazing video though mate!! I recently switched to a flip phone in an attempt at digital minimalism. Been big into the film point and shoot game for a bit now but would love a fun digital option especially for throwaway shots I would just like to share with friends or something. I think you're on to something.
Thank you! 😅
Hey George! I came across your previous G9 video and since I was feeling quite silly that day, decided to get one of my own for relatively cheap (Thanks algorithm I guess) ! It works fantastic, I love the noise and the CA it gives photos. Truly dreamlike.
One question I have is, how'd you go about translating a FujixWeekly recipe into a camera setting on the G9? I've been shooting Fuji cameras since early last year and can't ever live without some semblance of in-camera colour profiles (Spoiled by SOOC JPEGS and Film sim!) I'd like to try out other film sims on this baby, any tips would be appreciated! Thanks! Love your vids. 😁😁
Thanks! It's simple, to be honest, I followed the settings out of the X Pro 1's settings screen - then correlated all similar parameters within the Canon. You could do it using the Fuji X Weekly site itself too, there are some settings missing - but colour shift and white balance are largely there. It's just the simulations we're missing access to. Good luck and would be keen to see your results in our Discord!
@@GeorgeHolden Love it! Thanks for the tip! 💕 And will do!
@@ImNotASurfingPotato did you try this? how did it turn out?
Can you try something similar with a Sony camera?
Absolutely, I'm working on something along those lines at the moment - may be a multiple simulation dealio
Calling a g9 "trash camera" is... you have to be a trash photographer if you can't use a g9 to produce awesome photos. Sometimes I ask myself, why bother with a camera anymore if you can just type what the hell you want into an AI prompt?
Hhm I think you came closer to more of a Kodak film imo, judging by the photos. Your G9 pics are missing magenta, they have more yellow. I think that probably has to do with the fact that the G9 is probably missing the WB colour shift.
I understand your point bu why transform a Canon G7 or G9 in poor man Fuji ? It is fine to use their ccd sensor in jpg (no choice for the G7) bu I recommend everyone to keep Canon standard colors profile. It is a big strenght of these camera (like Canon 40D / 5D / 5D MK II of the same era)
The sharpness lol
Or lack of 😅
You are brilliant.
That doesnt look film-like or fuji-like at all and just wayyy too yellow. But im gonna try tweaking it a bit and see what I get
on my screen, mostly just looks more yellow. maybe it doesnt translate
I think pretty much CCD sensor camera can make filmlike image.
Does it have a CCD sensor? I always think the CCD sensor images had a film like look about it. I still think CCD is better than the cheaper and universally used CMOS sensor.
It is a CCD sensor!
The camera takes pictures. This is all that matters to me.
I must say; there is an awful lot of that Canon Yellow, I have come to hate, in those pictures, a little bit like that Sakura Chrome that always went yellow when you wanted to look at the vacation diapositive slides you from last year or the year before.
It's always a matter of taste but not my cup of tea.
Hi mate. I have a question.
I got the opportunity to get either the G9 or G7 ... The G7 its cheaper, but I been Watching a lot of videos about the G9 and I love it ...
Its there any significant changes between models???
