I just finished my first roll through the camera and I'm not usually one to go for a small plastic camera but I'm loving the results. Great review of this new camera!
That is awesome Alex, I ma so glad you have one and are loving it. So much fun to use something like this even if you are a person who prefers a complex camera. Thanks for always watching and supporting :)
Not a fan of cheap plastic reusables but when I saw that first photo, almost didn't believe it was coming from this small camera. Love it! I'm probably gonna get one soon
Nice color matching with the ring and camera ;) This reminds me of the cameras we had when I was a kid. No idea what the fstop or shutter speed was (or that they existed) just point it at something and snap. As long as it was sunny and the subject didn't move you stood a chance of getting grandma's photo. The lens performs better than any of those old plastic lens things from the 70s that shot 126 film. Enjoy the sun.
Thank you for noticing the matching ring and camera haha very observant! Yes lots of sun and still subjects helps a lot. These are heaps of fun I want one in every colour to match my outfit every time haha
Hi Lucy!! Sooo many excellent images. Your composition is on point and you nailed the film choice when it comes to ISO. Great music and loved the editing on this video. I definitely had a good vibe. Thanks for showing us a current option for a new film camera that we don't have to throw in the ocean after one go. Cheers!
Thanks so much! 😊 Glad you liked the music Lux will be happy. Yes love that these are reusable, there is really no need for a disposable camera anymore they should stop making them right??!!
Like your concept of point and shoot experiences. A fine contrast to the technically overloaded channels out there. Nice music too as always. Nice shots and portraits.
I had the original vivitar UW. It was so fun to use. I did not know about fstops when I was using it years ago but it does create nice vignettes. Actually, I like the wideness of vivitar than the fujiga645 Wide that’s why I sold my GA. I never sold my vivitar :)
Hey! Oh i'm so glad you enjoyed it and watched it twice that is awesome! I think my aussie sunshine has something to do with how good they came out bu thankyou :) Hope you get to shoot one soon they are fun!
How's everything down your way? I hope the floods and rain didn't cause you too much trouble and that you're safe!! Good to see you managed to put a video out despite it all. Looks like a good little camera and the pics you got from it were pretty cool as well!! It'd be perfect for beginners, but us "oldies" can appreciate having a camera like that, as well.
Hey Carl! I saw you said you were in hospital I am so sorry 😞 I hope you are feeling okay now though. We are all safe where we are but can’t say the same for many others in our country. It’s really tragic at the moment people have lost everything. My in laws are flooded in but their house is safe so that’s something. Yes highly recommend this camera it is lots of fun and the colours it comes in are really fun too!
Thanks so much! 😊 I was surprised how they came out but I think having lots of bright sun really helps. :) Oh yes love the colour too it matches lots of my outfits haha
Very stylish looking camera and the colors in the photos look outstanding. I wonder if I can do something similar with my 20mm Nikkor AF lens on one of my Nikon SLRs. I'll give it a try once summer reaches our shores 😎
Thank you lovely. Yes I am sure you can and look forward to seeing the results! I bet you are looking forward to summer. The colours came out nice I love Kodak color plus it never fails me :)
Great photos! Im so glad someone brought this camera back to life! THe Vivitars were starting to sell for around $100. Cant wait to get my hands on one/
Thank you lovely! Yes so glad they have brought it back. Matt from Matt Loves Cameras was telling me that the Vivitar ones are going up in price so nice to know this one is available for a pretty cheap price. Hope you grab one and have fun with it! :)
Neat video as always Lucy! There is something SO NICE about having a little cheapy and being a tourist, especially at the beach. You know you're not gonna get bangers, but it's still fun. You captured some nice moments, I think you did well with the Kodak 200.
Really nice video and pictures.! I was on Amazon looking at this, I want a film camera really bad but I’m on a budget…I mean I have a digital camera a canon but I want to get into film photography because the film photos are so nice and dreamy lol wondering should I get this or wait to get a more expensive 🤔 if I do I will use your link 🤞🏾
Thank you lovely 😊 I feel you hey drill photography is an expensive hobby and can be pricey to get into. This camera is a great one for entering into as it’s so cheap. But just be mindful it doesn’t have a flash and won’t do well in doors or low light really so you will only be able to shoot outdoors. If you want a point and shoot look at the Pentax espio range they are pretty good and fairly cheap still also the canon sure shot supreme range is really good but can be up in the $150 range…depends on what you want. If you want a real bargain try a canon rebel g or a Nikon f60 they are pretty ugly haha but amazing and will be the cheapest options! Msg me on IG if you have more questions I’m always happy to help!!
Yes def gonna look best on a sunny day! Which suits me here in Australia and I guess it would be a good beach holiday camera since it's so light and small. Thanks for watching :)
Cheap enough and small enough to add to my collection! I was Die hard Originaler and wanting to get vivitar one But This one has better colours! I might get one also might be adding flash hot shoe,,,,, Very sharp images!
It's hard to tell but is the surface rubbery or plasticky? just wondering because the superheadz clones from a few years back were mostly rubbery and they didn't age well... they got sticky after a while haha great shots though!
Hey Leah! It’s def not rubbery it’s more plastic but it’s got like a matte finish to it if that makes sense?? I can’t imagine it would get sticky or anything over time. It’s a super cute little cam and it comes with a strap and case too! Thanks for watching
can you get a harman ez-35 Film Camera and do a video on it it has automatic winding and takes really good photos i would love to see you do a video on it
Oh my god tell me about it! I had to ditch like half my pano shots because of my finger being in the way. I kept reminding myself with this one though and it didn't happen luckily! Thanks for watching :)
Hey sorry for my late reply. Yes it is expensive but everything in Australia is expensive. It costs about $16 to get a roll of film developed and scanned for me. So including the price of the film as well it's pretty expensive but it's worth it and it's my hobby. Can you not send it away somewhere that would be cheaper??
You'll probably need at least 400 ISO in winter but it depends really on whether the sun is out or you're talking really bleak weather. Snow does reflect a lot of light but we don't get snow where I live so I can't really tell you anything from experience. Maybe ask "the old camera guy" on his channel.
Hello my friend! Yes it's been really bad in Queensland and New South Wales. Luckily we are okay we we live as we are higher up from the river but places not too far from us are flooded badly and all schools are closed the last two days so Lux is home from work. Thank you for checking on us though very kind of you. Hope you are well :)
@@LucyLumen Now we have a cruel war in Europe. Russia attacked Ukraine. The war takes place only around 800 miles from Austria. We all hope, that peace is coming again soon. We are back in the cold war of the 80s. Russia threats with nuclear missiles. As if covid-19 isn't bad enough. You are lucky to be far away. Sometimes I think it would be fine, if Austria would be a neighboring state of Australia. The similarity in the names of our two countries would suggest so. Far away from the problems in Europe would be fine.

Those rocks at 2:20 are so photogenic that I'm pretty sure everyone has recreated that shot at some point

This was very enjoyable! Glad to see more options out there. Stay dry, folks!
Thanks Darren! This was the first day it was nice out before all the flooding. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching :)
Cool little camera I love how wide it is!
honestly pretty good quality out of it! I like a unique focal length too. How fun!
Thank you Jonathan! It’s a really fun camera 📷
Great review Lucy, Great Music Lux.. and great photos, Interesting focal length for a point and shoot too
Oh wow, i also uploaded my RETO video few hours ago! Love your video🥰🥰🥰
Hey lovely! Yes I saw that, I must watch it. You have the white one hey?? I will watch when I get a chance. Such a cool and easy to use camera right?!
Like your concept of point and shoot experiences. A fine contrast to the technically overloaded channels out there. Nice music too as always. Nice shots and portraits.
I just got mine a few days ago... Absolutely love it!
Hope you get some great shots lovely! Thanks for watching

Awesome shots you got pretty damn good results from that. You're awesome I watched this twice in a row by the way lol

Great photos Lucy, especially for a "toy" camera .. and that yellow is divine! 💛 📸
Thanks so much! 😊 I was surprised how they came out but I think having lots of bright sun really helps. :) Oh yes love the colour too it matches lots of my outfits haha
sometimes the simplest most basic cameras can be the funnest!
Very stylish looking camera and the colors in the photos look outstanding. I wonder if I can do something similar with my 20mm Nikkor AF lens on one of my Nikon SLRs. I'll give it a try once summer reaches our shores 😎
Thank you lovely. Yes I am sure you can and look forward to seeing the results! I bet you are looking forward to summer. The colours came out nice I love Kodak color plus it never fails me :)
Nice!! That camera is pretty interesting. I would recommend looking at the Lomography La Sardina. Seems to perform the same but adds MX & Bulb modes…
Great photos! Im so glad someone brought this camera back to life! THe Vivitars were starting to sell for around $100. Cant wait to get my hands on one/
Thank you lovely! Yes so glad they have brought it back. Matt from Matt Loves Cameras was telling me that the Vivitar ones are going up in price so nice to know this one is available for a pretty cheap price. Hope you grab one and have fun with it! :)
I just bought one. What films do you recommend for a beginner?
4:40 jam! 🔥 sounds very police 👮♀️
Neat video as always Lucy!

@@LucyLumen thank you so much going to do more research, I found a guy selling a Pentax k1000 for 100$ seems like a bargain
Great colours and composition Lucy! Only one thing is confusing me... did you crop the shots? They look more like 4x5 ratio? Spill the beans 😋
F11 fixed, ouch! Definitely a sunny day shooter! 😎 🌞
Yes def gonna look best on a sunny day! Which suits me here in Australia and I guess it would be a good beach holiday camera since it's so light and small. Thanks for watching :)
Photos look really good quality for a fixed aperture camera
Thank you my friend. The Australian sunshine helps a lot I think. :)
Those look a lot nicer than I expected! I'm definitely pretty sure I'm going to grab one ... might as well since they're at such a reasonable price!
Cheap enough and small enough to add to my collection! I was Die hard Originaler and wanting to get vivitar one But This one has better colours! I might get one also might be adding flash hot shoe,,,,, Very sharp images!

@@LucyLumen Thanks for the info Lucy! That's really good to know. Ahhh I should order one soon to get in on the fun haha loving the yellow version too
Very cool! I saw those cameras at my local camera shop recently and thought about buying one. Now I know that they're worth it! :)
can you get a harman ez-35 Film Camera and do a video on it it has automatic winding and takes really good photos i would love to see you do a video on it
Hoo.Lucy you are pretty girl, yes! Good work in camera film.
I really like using reusable point and shoots like this but i have always found my fingers some how getting into the shot
Oh my god tell me about it! I had to ditch like half my pano shots because of my finger being in the way. I kept reminding myself with this one though and it didn't happen luckily! Thanks for watching :)
How much does it cost for your film developing? Where I live, in the US, it is not affortable any more. Very sad for me.
Hey sorry for my late reply. Yes it is expensive but everything in Australia is expensive. It costs about $16 to get a roll of film developed and scanned for me. So including the price of the film as well it's pretty expensive but it's worth it and it's my hobby. Can you not send it away somewhere that would be cheaper??
Is this camera disposable?
Hello lovely no its not you can reload it with film and its build quality is much better than a disposable camera. :)
what film did you use?
I used Kodak colour plus 200!
Excellent video.
Thanks Legend!
If i use it on winter, will it looks good?
You'll probably need at least 400 ISO in winter but it depends really on whether the sun is out or you're talking really bleak weather. Snow does reflect a lot of light but we don't get snow where I live so I can't really tell you anything from experience. Maybe ask "the old camera guy" on his channel.
Hm, -2 degrees Celsius here at the Baltic Sea coast and I really miss the sunny days at the beach.
Oh my god I bet you miss the sun ☀️ I wish I could send you some! Thanks for watching Michael
Hi Lucy I read earlier today that there have been some floods in Brisbane and the Gold Coast? I hope you are ok?
Hello my friend! Yes it's been really bad in Queensland and New South Wales. Luckily we are okay we we live as we are higher up from the river but places not too far from us are flooded badly and all schools are closed the last two days so Lux is home from work.

Available in the States
Yes I saw it's available for you guys now. I popped a link in the description. It's such a fun camera!
