5:02 the EV compensation tool/button at the back of the camera makes up for that kind of exposure. Also, its light metering is center-weighted. You can actually lock the AF/exposure by half pressing the shutter button.
Thank you for that added info! I wasn't too keen on using the expo comp because the joy of shooting a P&S is the lack of thought necessary for its use. Alas, it still remains that there is a more trained use to made made of this little powerhouse.
hey would you recommend the best point and shoot camera for beginners? i was considering the olympus mju, however i dont like the lens it gives so much noise, i want a cleaner lens for best results
Considering the price point, excellent metering, focus, and Len quality… this is probably a great start. Mine broke recently and I’ll be picking another one up shortly as it’s just that handy to have in-pocket
thanks, I was interested in the camera but after seeing how it meters i'm going to take a hard pass. I had a T2 once and it got stolen but now their just insane to replace so looking for a good point and shoot that doesnt cost 1k
One guy had a comment about Exp comp, but that just defeats the purpose of a point and shoot. If I had a T2, I’d be hard pressed to go down to a BM201 as well ;)
@@Brandongorrie After some research im pretty set on a nikon 35ti because it literally has matrix metering instead of spot which is insane, Aperture settings, is the same size as the T2 and only costs 650-700
I think they’re different cameras tbf. If I had to choose between the two I’d take the L35af. I don’t like the shooting experience as much, but every shot with the Konica feels like I’m breaking the camera 😂
Good question! So the camera will be able to read the DX code on the film and expose “correctly” for both the 400 and the 800 given it’s long shutter capabilities. So now it comes down to which film you think will handle the long exposure better. Personally, I know portra 400 has a finer grain and better latitude with a more natural color rendering. Whereas the 800 will be more saturated and contrasted with higher grain! That choice is up to you my friend!
In my opinion, the XA2 is a much safer bet. This camera has a good lens but, it doesn't seem to have the consistency with metering like the XA2 does. I'd go Olympus if money wasn't a deterrent
Absolutely nothing! Konica released a lot of cameras in the Big Mini series during the 90s with slight differences for subjective shooting preferences. If you want to step up the game of your big mini experience, the Big Mini F has a 2.8 lens and a better build quality!
Because when I talk I dont sit still and never have. I gesticulate and lean to and fro. Ill be getting some new filming equipment soon because believe me, as a perfectionist I'm not a fan of the unpredictable focusing either! I'm open to suggestions in the meantime! Cheers!

Why should the BM-302 the better Version?
It has more advanced add ons that make it a more premium camera.
Sick review, just purchased one! Can't wait to use it! I really like the space grey color on it too!
I hope you got it for a good price! Enjoy the little thing!
@@Brandongorrie it was steep at around $300 exactly but looks to be a great alternative to the contax t3 i will add.

@@davidhunt9692 I would kill to do a review on a Nikon 35ti, let alone shooting one! Brilliant little things
Comparing this to the Nikon l35af which do u think it’s better ?

Great to see someone review this camera. Awesome video, now i will be looking around to get myself one. Cheers
Thank you for the welcomed feedback. I'll be sure to check our your feed and the myriad of content :)
hi! do you think the bm201 work well for night shooting with portra400? or should i get portra800 instead? thanks!!

'I need to compensate... that exposure' hahahaha
stay hard! :p
Is this better than the olympus xa2? Deciding which one to buy from the two
In my opinion, the XA2 is a much safer bet. This camera has a good lens but, it doesn't seem to have the consistency with metering like the XA2 does. I'd go Olympus if money wasn't a deterrent
@@Brandongorrie great! Thank you!

lmao the hummingbird beats its wings
Its flappers clench and release in a formidable fashion. Watch out for the hummingbirds with tattoos.
The lens is 35mm 3.5?
Absolutely
So helpful!
Feel free to ask any questions! Cheers Charli!
So i love the film camera and coffee combo! I'm there with you on that!
dude, why you use autofocus when filming yourself?

big up
Thank you for the feedback, Olgierd! Where is that name from?

I like ur big mini
I enjoyed your video sir but I'm just not very comfortable with tickling the like button. I'll think about it 🤔
I'm taking this comment into consideration for the next upload. Less tickling. More fondling.
No more drinking sounds please
I just want to be closer to my audience.
