My exact thoughts three years ago, and its been my go to point and shoot since then, great little camera, also I love the new charity sponsor video vibe... a game changer in youtube videos for sure, well done mate, keep it up.
the MJU II has a really annoying shutter button. It doesn't require any pressure, so accidental shots happen more often than i'd like. That's why i prefer the first MJU. It's hands down my favourite point&shoot, and i'm glad you made a video about it! And mad respect for bringing light to a charity! Too bad i live in Finland and they only ship to UK
been watching your videos since the beginning and they'd inspired me to take my parents' old point and shoot and carry it with me always. captured some precious memories with it, but unfortunately i dropped it one too many times whilst on a trip. got a new one now and even my friends love it! thanks for the quality content mate, appreciate your work :) x
I bought the Stylus Infinity several years ago for around $50, I've recently been playing around with it and have been impressed at the results it can give if you work around its limitations. I recently made a video about this camera, tracking my progress as I shot 1 roll of film and tried to achieve a high quality darkroom print. This just goes to show gear is not everything. Thank you for what you do for the film community brother, keep it up!
Considering point and shoot for my next foray in to the medium of film. All this is with an aim to help lend a film look to moving picture in the future. Colour Science and all that... I'm exploring it this way.
Bought the mju iii for about £45 a few months ago, then a few weeks later I found a mju ii at the thrift shop for £1! Couldn't believe my own eyes, but I haven't tested it either yet.... Time will tell if I made the best bargain of my life
I love my Mju. It just works. It's sharp enough, tiny, easy to load on the go, the battery lasts ages, the flash is shockingly accurate, the AF is even more shockingly accurate. I've been in literally 1 insance with it where I wish I'd had the 2.8 lens instead and even then, the shot was salvageable...
@@32ndFoto as you're holding the camera lens-forward, there's a little door on the right side by where the strap connects. Use you finger nail to open the little door from the bottom.
I tested one during 2016, I loved that, and in a recent trip with my girlfriend, we were walking near a park in Buenos Aires and I realized that in a street market they had a MJU, I immediately went to ask the price, it was around 7usd, some days ago I even used the camera together with my Mamiya RB67 Pro SD to cover a popular manifestation at Santiago!!
I’ve been thinking about getting an mju for months now but i seriously can’t decide between the mju i and mju ii. Someone told me that the mju ii photos come out a lot better but i’m still not sure. Can someone give me some info? 😅
I miss my mju 1 It sadly passed away 3 months ago Death cause is unknown but I shot dozens of rolls thru it, traveled with it, permanently lived in my pocket, and now it rests on a shelf along with other dead cameras
Hey! I'm having some trouble with my camera and have no idea what to do. Even with the camera off, lens covered, my flash stays up. When I turn on the camera, the lens comes out and goes back in right away. I have no idea as to what I did wrong...
I got one from my dead granny. When i was younger i thought that this cam is to old to use/ take nice shoots, but now i will get more into shooting with films.
Hmm, I got an LT-1 which is basically the Mju with a leather cover but there’s no “half press” on mine. Could be why all my portraits were out of focus…
i got a mju 1 too but every time i shoot using the fill-in flash dark shadows start to surround the object (model). does anyone know how to solve this problem? (shot with kodak gold 200 during a sunny day)
I was lucky enough to pickup a MUJ-1 for $10 at a Value Village here in Toronto a few weeks back and it's been my new go to when I leave the house. The weight, (or lack there of), is the key factor.
Thank you. I was gifted a box of cameras and can’t wait to play with this one. I was going to give it away but not anymore after reading comments. 😎 will shot Kodak Gold like you in LA. 😉
I abused mine all around Japan, thought I lost it at one point and was more annoyed about losing the roll of Velvia than the camera haha. It showed up later jammed in a bag pocket. Seriously great for snapshots.
My dad bought me the Stylus (Americans got a different marketing name) as my first "real camera" when I was 13 years old... yep in 1997. I'm 35, I still have it, take pics of my daughters at Disney with it using Kodak Gold 200 just like back in the 90s. Works great to this day.
The motor in mine gets stuck and continually says it’s empty :( Hopefully I can buy a better one at some point? I think I may prefer my chinon bellami, a barn door style f/2.8 35mm point and shoot with an advance lever
I found one in a charity shop for essentially free, felt bad about it so i ended up giving them extra. pretty nice performer, especially for something you can yeet across the room and not care too much
Have used both and got them for peanuts on e bay before the price of the 2 rocketed, the 1 has only gone up in price the last two years, the 1 is the better all round camera as 2 can over expose also lots of them will have light leaks now so wouldn't pay a fortune for one, the mju 2 I had 12 years ago did have a slight leak on edge of photo but could be cropped out in scans so was OK.
bought two Mju 1's for about a fiver each only 8 years ago. the prices have absolutely gone mad. that said, it is an excellent camera. the 2 brings a 2.8 lens, smaller body and weather sealing but the autofocus wasn't heaps better nor the lens that much sharper. the pair are some of the best cameras ever made.
It depends. If you are new to the concept of fotography, get a Point and Shoot. They are usually unexpensive and, as the name sugests, you just point and shoot it. You don't really have to worry about exposing your picture at all. Now, if you are a bit more experienced in cameras, get a nikon fm, a canon ae-1 or a minolta of some kind. These are less expensive alternatives, and you get more control over your image. You can shoot me at @estebanglzzz on Instagram for any questions. I'm new to film myself, but have been shooting digital for some time now. Good luck!
@@sundancekidmx2332 yeah ive been reading about it all day and a point and shoot camera sounds like it would fit me, at least for now. Thank! Ill make sure to do that:)
After the film is developed, you (or the service that you paid to develop your film) will be able to scan the negatives (aka the film roll) and create a computer file to send to your email.
Hey I’m heading off to London and Scotland in december, would you guys have any shops to recommend where I can buy some good film cameras, like the mju or other point and shoots?
Pretty sure RUclips reads minds now! Just come home from a visit to a second hand store where I bought a Mju-II and on top of RUclips recommended is this video.
I have the MJU II with super zoom. The zoom feature does this bizarre crop in the corners. Other wise it's a fun little camera. Also, what a great charity. :-D

Some of the best 35mm photos of you in this video i think, the light is PERFECT

It's hands down my favourite point&shoot, and i'm glad you made a video about it! And mad respect for bringing light to a charity! Too bad i live in Finland and they only ship to UK
Great video format.
I like the mix of narration, real-world usage, photo samples and this being for a good cause.
Already own the mju II. I like it for the fact that it's so small, compact and I can carry it wherever I want. That itself leads to the best pictures
I have this camera and have been really happy with loads of the photos I've taken on it! Thanks so much for reminding me of the reasons to love it
Damn this is cool
you hadn't watched it yet you liar

Do a video with grainy days
both the videos and the photos have been amazing lately. you're on a roll, man
kzed0 get it, on a roll
Great video, one of my favorite point & shoot cameras I've found 4 of them in thrift stores so far.
Glad to have you back George!
I recently developed my first roll from my Olympus MJU 35mm it's so fun!
I bought a MJU a couple of months ago, really stoked to see my first developed roll of film!

I went to a thrift store a few months ago. Picked up a Nikon L35AF for $2. One of my favorite point and shoots ever. 🥰
Cristian Murs what a steal! Love that camera. Have fun!
that cam was one of my favorites
now this camera cost about 80 - 140 €

love the review, LOVE the barnardos ad
Found the mju zoom (stylus zoom) when I was in California and bought it in a thrift store. It's a surprisingly good camera. 👍
Everybody on ebay looking for this camera rn
I m selling one
Jordeycap tell me why I just accidentally ran into one buying a camera bag lmao gonna test it

Ahhh!!! I love seeing my neighborhood on this channel!
There's a lot to be said for a handy point & shoot and the Olympus glass is always great.
Have yet to snag any Olympus point & shoot but I definitely love these slide cover cams. Hoping to thrift / estate sale a few… 🤞
so crazy, been looking at getting this camera over the weekend and then I see your vid just uploaded! was meant to be

Been hoarding up on these for a couple of years now waiting for them to take off. More videos like this please!
Feels great in hand, and really, really sharp. I've got one and a spare.
So is this the 1st of all the Olympus stylus line?
props for the sponsor choice!
Good review, thanks man.
I love that shutter button on this camera.
There I was, waiting for that square space ad...
I’ve been thinking about getting an mju for months now but i seriously can’t decide between the mju i and mju ii. Someone told me that the mju ii photos come out a lot better but i’m still not sure. Can someone give me some info? 😅
I miss my mju 1
It sadly passed away 3 months ago
Death cause is unknown but I shot dozens of rolls thru it, traveled with it, permanently lived in my pocket, and now it rests on a shelf along with other dead cameras
Found this guy at a thrift shop for $5 today, so psyched for such an insane find especially in 2021
Congratulation two hundred thousand 🥳

what type of film stock did you use for the pictures?
My favourite camera!
you are total inspo man!
I'm using Mju i too. Love it!
Which Film did you use?
I have a completely clear version of this camera on my channel. It was a Demo Unit given to Olympus Sales reps to show the cameras internals.
Funny to see how low the prices were 2 years ago.. why is it so high now? Great video! Tnx
i got a mju 1 too but every time i shoot using the fill-in flash dark shadows start to surround the object (model). does anyone know how to solve this problem? (shot with kodak gold 200 during a sunny day)

I was lucky enough to pickup a MUJ-1 for $10 at a Value Village here in Toronto a few weeks back and it's been my new go to when I leave the house. The weight, (or lack there of), is the key factor.
You should try out the Minolta Talker!
Its designed by Maitani as all great Olympuses are. One of the industrial design geniuses.
Checked out Barnardos right away!
Thank you. I was gifted a box of cameras and can’t wait to play with this one. I was going to give it away but not anymore after reading comments. 😎 will shot Kodak Gold like you in LA. 😉
Ey fire
I abused mine all around Japan, thought I lost it at one point and was more annoyed about losing the roll of Velvia than the camera haha. It showed up later jammed in a bag pocket. Seriously great for snapshots.
It was the first film camera I’ve ever purchased. Can’t believe they were $15 in 2013 and now they’re x10 that
Mju 1 for 100-120 euros or mju 2 for 220-250 euros?
My dad bought me the Stylus (Americans got a different marketing name) as my first "real camera" when I was 13 years old... yep in 1997. I'm 35, I still have it, take pics of my daughters at Disney with it using Kodak Gold 200 just like back in the 90s. Works great to this day.

Did a review of it, the price point was the best part for how sharp the camera itself was
I found one in a charity shop for essentially free, felt bad about it so i ended up giving them extra. pretty nice performer, especially for something you can yeet across the room and not care too much

its the first ever film camera i thrifted, could anyone possibly tell me which film is used for it?
how is this for more night time with focusing?
did you go to camp flog gnaw george?
I was the special guest
NegativeFeedback im sure the crowd would have preferred that
Are you using the flash automatically?
Hi. How do you decide weather or not to use the flash in daylight? Are these pictures on daylight, shot with or without flash? Thank you.
Camera does it on auto but you can override by tapping on flash button
Bernados is the only way I can justify buying this camera thank you :)
I just bought the d3 it's mesmerising
Hey man! I have both the MJU 1&2 can you please link me to some film for it? I wanna get into film photography and wanna use these
Love ya George!
Man, is it really Kodak Gold, it sometimes looks like Portra?
poor mans portra
I honestly prefer Gold over Portra. Punchier colours and more contrast.
Can you review "Pentax Espio Mini" i cant view any in depht review on it. IMHO its better than the mju ii
If you haven’t already (I can’t find a vid from you on it) can u do a vid with the Pentax asahi k1000?
What ASA does the camera set to when using cartridges without DX codes?
100 iso
Damn mate, I hope also have lovely weather in the UK

i bought this camera in a vintage market in Berlin for 18 euros. best purchase ive ever made.
Do you scan these photos then do post editing?
I have that olympus, lovely one!
really missed this.
Woah is that Kraftpunk on your desk??
It's captain beany

Canon Sure Shot 70 and the Konica Big Mini they have are decent cameras from reviews I read at the time.
