For the most part -- these all plastic P&S cameras currently made are so much better than the actually sturdier P&S 35mm cameras from the 70s/80s -- at least optically....
@@theoldcameraguy -- The exposure was very good (despite these cameras 'defying' the Sunny 16 rule -- F9 at 1/125 should be about a Sunny 16 for ISO of around 25) -- and the flash strength well matched for the lens/film, noticeable vignetting, but the sharpness across most of the middle of the frame was very good. I recently finished my first roll in my Kodak S-88 (Harman Phoenix) and mailed it off for processing/scanning -- I must say that the camera gave me fits! Fresh battery yet it struggled to advance the film (sometimes it was a 'two-part' advance -- I could tell that it did not advance fully but stopped, and I'd 'squeeze' the back film door and it would finish the advance). And it completely stopped half-way through the rewind. I had to pop in a fresh battery to get it to struggle along and finish the rewind. I should see the results in a few days....
I'm like you and I love to use toy cameras, leaning into their limitations to make really good photos. As much as I like using nice cameras and lenses, I always seem to gravitate back to the toy cameras, especially with B&W film.
Hi Dave, I reckon it's almost time for a side by side shootout between all these plastic fantastic 35mm point and shoots. I'd like to know if there is much difference between them all, Kodak, Agfa, Ilford etc.
I don't have that camera, but I have "that camera" under some random name by a Korean seller. Cool little cameras. Very refreshing to just go out and shoot with it and not worry about anything other than compositions. My point and shoot love is strong.
Nice shots! Echoing the comment up top, if you’re in the market for an easy P&S, especially as a gift, this might be a better option than used gear. Personally not what I’m looking for when shooting film, but I appreciate the review.
Ektar H35 is half frame and I prefer full frame, so I like the other 2 better. I actually like the styling of the Kodak i60 even better. Functionally, they are about the same, so I would get the style you like the best.
Nice pictures!! I have one like the one in the video, I used a Fuji Speed Film 400 film and I really liked the results, I'm going to try using a black and white film from FOMAPAM, I just don't know which ISO to use.
I just bought this camera. When I shoot it doesn’t produce a shutter sound, is it normal? Is it because it doesn’t have a “real” shutter? First time using these 😅
hi, i also use this camera, but when i turn on the flash, the red light does not turn on. the flash does not fire even if the flash button is on. does this mean my camera is broken? i don't know... if the flash does not fire, am i not able to take the photo? i don't know much about cameras, i would be glad if you could help me.
I really like the look that camera produces. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching Tony
Nice!
Sometimes you need a simple plasticy camera and enjoy the simplicity of just pressing the shutterbutten och going to next frame!
Thanks - I agree!
Cool camera. Bought one for a colleague when they were leaving and they love it!
I really liked it too.
Couldn't resist -- "Norm!!!" 🤣🤣🤣 Probably need to be an old fart like me to get the reference!
Lovely photos, as always! Those murals are very special.
Thanks Sara
Well Done.
The photo of the railroad boxcar is my favorite.
Keep on doing what you’re doing.

Thanks!

If you don’t expect too much out of them, they’re really not bad. I personally like the look.

I really do like a camera with a simple plastic lens

The results really are all about the same from all these various models.

Yes, these point and shoots just let you focus on composition, which I really like - no overthinking.
Nice shots. Gotta love a simple low fi camera.
Thanks

Which one you recommend for 1st film camera. Ultra f9 vs Ilford sprite 35 ii vs ektar H35
Ektar H35 is half frame and I prefer full frame, so I like the other 2 better. I actually like the styling of the Kodak i60 even better. Functionally, they are about the same, so I would get the style you like the best.
Nice shots - live the vignetting
Thank You
Thanks for the video. May I please ask, which camera should you recommend more? F9 or i60?
Both performance about the same - I prefer the styling of the i60
@@theoldcameraguy Thank you so much for fast reply. Have a great day :)

Thanks - You can use Fomapan 400 if it’s cloudy or overcast and Fomapan 200 if it’s sunny.
Thank you, I will follow your advice. Hugs from Brazil.
im a beginner and want to get a camera. would you recommend this one for photo taking?
This is good for beginners, also the Kodak i60.
I just bought this camera. When I shoot it doesn’t produce a shutter sound, is it normal? Is it because it doesn’t have a “real” shutter? First time using these 😅
It’s fairly quiet, there’s only a faint click. It has a real shutter, but it’s not an SLR, so you don’t hear the more obvious mirror slap sound.
@@theoldcameraguy aaah perfect, I thought I bought a broken camera 🤣

It’s possible the flash is broken. You can still take pictures even if the flash doesn’t fire though.
I accidentally pressed my clutch despite of the unfinished shots huhu will the film still continue to (I did not pull the rewind lever tho)?
Usually, once the film is disengaged like that, you can’t take any more shots
@@theoldcameraguy even if I just pressed it? I'm a bit worried to develop my film now :(
@@JamieLualhati You can try to take a shot and see what happens
@@theoldcameraguy it worked! I opened the flash just to make sure
@@JamieLualhati Nice!
Would you recommend this better than the Ektar H35?
Yes, because the H35 is half frame, and I prefer full frame.
@@theoldcameraguythank you! I got the F9 :)
@@kristinemg Great - Have fun with it!
What would you recommend between this and the Kodak i60? :)
I like the i60 a little better
@@theoldcameraguy thank you!

isn't this just the same camera as the Kodak M35/M38?
Very similar specs, different body style
