Absolutely glued to this channel right now.
Same. And keeping an eye on the subs, glad it's growing visibly
Me three!
same
These videos are like a trip to the past. Nostalgia is a helluva drug.
Thanks for watching!
What makes your channel so interesting is your depth of knowledge of certain cameras, sort of buyer’s guide in a way, what to look out for when purchasing… like the old Fuji and Olympus XD cards and their scarcity
Long shot but if you mentioned the sensor type, that would be amazing, but I know that’s asking for a lot :-) . Regards, CCD censor hunter
Hey @DarrylHebbes I will try to start throwing in sensor type on relevant cams- good idea!
Useless fact here, I have a Powershot S10 and believe it or not it can support a 2 GB CF card (the counter on the top screen says "999").
Actually great to know- thanks for informing!
I also have a PowerShot S10. C2R5 batteries are expensive here (like over $20 for one) so I'll have to go NB-5L replacement then.
these videos are soo soothing and chill to watch as a camera hoarder/collector. Great content man, I think I watched around 5 of your vids already just today. Cheers
Hello fellow collector! I appreciate the very kind words too. I hope to have another video out by Wednesday
I am a hobbyist who shoots for fun when I can. I use a Canon 70D with a variety of lenses found from Amazon and other websites. They do a great job although they are the Chinese cheaper ones. I shoot video in 1080P, which is all the 70D will give you. When I want 4K, I will use a program to upscale. I was asked from a friend wanting to get into photography if he should buy the top of the line camera. I told him no, buy an older one like the 70D and save your money. The 70D does a fantastic job, it is durable, great for aftermarket purchases, can take Magic Lantern program upgrade, and is simply a blast to shoot with. It produces stunning photos.
Nice! I love the 70D, was my primary for a few years. Great pics and video too like you say. You mention you have several lenses, what’s your go to favorite lens for it?
@@pricklypearcamera I would like to say my nifty-nifty but I also like my 35. I try not to use my zooms as much as possible. I have a 28 and a 400 but nothing is a red band Canon. To me, they do a fantastic job. If I were just starting out, I would by the same thing if I knew how well the equipment would work for an amateur just starting out or a seasoned weekend photographer. You know I once worked for CNN back in the late 80's. I had more fun with my Nikon FM2 than any other camera. For some reason I gravitate towards the underdog. I also have an off brand flash that does the job. And, I have an array of ND and other filters. I try to do everything in camera rather than in post. The old expression, If it ain't broken, don't fix it applies to my level of photography. To me its not the camera as much as the challenge to get it right threw the lens. As far as video goes, I shoot with the camera attached to a stabilizer. There are presets that I use that almost bring the quality up to 4K. If I have to I can also use some programs to bring the video up to 4K and I'll be dam if I can tell the difference. I should also say that I have a GoPro Hero 10 that does shoot 4K so sometimes I like to get everyone onto the same page. But, I have had situations that I couldn't tell the difference between 1080 2K 4K 6K or whatever. For an hobbyist, I don't think people should gravitate the the newest and greatest without looking at the quality each camera can produce.
@@jroar123 👍 nice- I’ve used the 85mm too which is a cool length. I also try to most things in camera 📷 . And agree with your sentiments on 4k+
Your videos are a work of art.
They catch me every time and i watch them without skipping a part.
Greetings from Germany
Guten Tag! Incredibly kind, and thank you for watching!
Just fun to watch your camera surprise ...all tbe best för you...greetings from Berlin...
Hello! I have been to Berlin for a trade show a few years ago, great place! Thanks for watching!
Genau so sehe ich das auch!
Der Kanal fesselt mich gerade einfach.
Wirklich gute Videos
Your channel is flying right now, love it!!
Thank you!!
Thanks!
I actually have a PowerShot S10. Great little 2MP camera, very sharp lens with excellent ISO performance (for its era). I would argue it's the benchmark for 2MP cameras in terms of image quality.
I would be inclined to agree, very solid camera and the pictures I've taken with hit always surprise me with their quality.
Looking forward to this!
Those Canon S10 and S20 cameras were great cameras. Used to use them for astronomy. Real tanks and clear photos.
Nice! Yes, they are indeed built like tanks! Thanks for watchin'
S10 kickass! 🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤❤❤❤
Seeing you get a couple Dimages makes me hope you get a Dimage 7! Those are lots of fun, idk if you’ve ever sold any but Id love to see your thoughts on one if you get one in one of these unboxings
Holy crap that’s a lot
😊📸
Just come across you and now glue to you
Thank you for watching!
I'm super tempted to start buying cheaper boxes to clean/fix and sell cameras just so I can one day be in a position to buy $2000 worth of them.
:)
Where would one get them?
Wow, 1 st camera pulled, I had one. It came free with a printer purchase.
Nice!
That cute little guy the Fujifilm at 3:33 I have my first Fuijifilm finepix 40i uses the same smart media card and I think the only camera with mp3 player.
No idea if you ever sold on and what it sold for no I am not gonna sell mine was just wondereing . I keep mine for sentimental reasons and yeah it still works great no the pics are not that great but it is just so cute and I just love it.
Greetings From Sweden.
Hello to you in Sweden from hot and Sunny Arizona! Yep, sold it some months ago, nice to hear your story, I've got a lot of cameras in my collection that are there for sentimental reasons :)
@@pricklypearcamera love to see a video on the special cameras you kept and the story. And please share the name on the rubber cleaner you use and how you use it. Love your video's. That Fujifilm 40i was my first ever digital camera I travelled alot to the uk.
@@user-st4rp9eq4j That's a great idea🙂 The rubber cleaner/polisher I use is Mothers "Back to Black". I've found it to work quite well.
Vivitar had a repair warranty here in the UK if you camera got a fault it was replaced, broken ones sent back to maker and broen up.
Wow that's awesome!
the CD mavica's noises were just the disk drive inside it, they sound like that.
Good to know, thanks for the info!
11:50 Ah, good old A40, brings lot of memories... My first digital camera around 2002-2003, were used a lot. I had same time EOS300 35mm film camera to take "more serious" photos. Went to EOS300D when it was released. I still have that A40 somewhere with 2G CF card. History so far; 300 -> A40 -> 300D -> 500D -> 6D mk II. 500D were handed down to my daughter to learn photography, after camera were around 10 years new and done roughly 90k shots (as an hobbyist)...
Nice!! That's really cool to see the model progression you've had through the years. That's a high shutter count on the 500d (T1i)! Awesome to hear that your whole family got a lot of use out of it!
@@pricklypearcamera Shutter count is high due camera being used lot to shoot pictures from different kids sports events, hockey, ringette, football (soccer to you across the pond) etc... Seen freezing cold hockey arenas to boiling summer heat next to football pitch... Survived to tell the tale. Just gives 6D to run for the money, to match the 500D. ;)
Most used lens; Canon nifty-fifty, with all plastic construction (the older version I guess). Perfect for icehockey rink photography on its price range.
Checked my A40; in pristine condition, with minimal scratches. And no battery acid corrosion. It is a keeper.
I am way to jealous...
the SD 770 just has super weak screws and the lanyard is structurally attached to only the side panel and thus over time, it just removes the screws from the threads and rips off. I also have one which is fortunately only missing one screw. But its a weird design choice mainly.
Aaaah that makes sense! Thanks for letting me know!
Yeah, people like to tug the camera out of the pocket using the lanyard so makes sense while it's missing quite often...
Hey! Which wholesale do you buy from?
As a new viewer, this is also exciting for me to watch :) I am passionate about point and shoot cameras, but i wonder... why are there no HP cameras? (HP M23 was my forst digital cam and I have many other HP`s in my collection) Nice vids, greetings from Romania!
Thank you for watching, I do get HP's in occasionally! Perhaps there's 1 or 2 in all these boxes! Hello to Romania!
where do you buy it?
Great video. Out of curiosity, do you have to pay anything to recycle the cameras that don't work at all?
Thank you!
Fortunately there are a number of e-waste companies locally that I'm able to donate these too at no cost, but it depends upon your area!
Never saw the canon strap come out.
How often do you find film in those film cameras?
Very rarely is there film left inside, at least from the cameras that I get normally.
Some of these old cameras (working or not) could be valuable as film and TV props. If you have a web site where you sell these 20, 30, 40 year old devices they should be arranged according to years built or used. You could loan out (rent) or sell to prop masters as they are always in need of age appropriate items for genre or period films. Probably best to rent them out as they rarely need the props after filming ends. The Mavica FD is an example of a real rare item from the late 90's. We had one way back then and everyone was excited about the technology but it really didn't take very good images. I recall the write times to the floppy were excessive and overall operation was clunky. Still, it was a starting point to the future we have today.
Also, you seem to automatically format digital media cards without looking at them. I can't tell you how many crimes have been solved by recovered media left in cameras. My dad was in the FBI. Or just someones memories that they would like back if there is any way to identify the persons images. Same with film, but there's a cost to get them developed.
I like your RUclips channel.
Thank you for your insight, and 100% agree that what is “antiquated” now were stepping stones to get to the technology we have today. Appreciate you watching!
Hey, loving the videos, keep up the good work. Have you ever found like a real gem 💎? As in very unique, very valuable?
Pretty uncommon, but yes, have found a few! The best was probably a vintage WWII era Leica lens that was in a box of mostly worthless lenses I paid $40 for. That single lens sold for $1,200.
@@pricklypearcamera wow!!! But those moments when you find something like that are probably awesome. 😉
I also like cameras. I just found your channel and I really enjoy the videos. I also Sub
Thanks for the sub! Always great to hear from another camera enthusiast!
How you find those deals?
This was from a closeout wholesaler, but I've found big lots through estate sales, ebay, and a lot more options
Where do you find the lots?
This bigger lot came from an electronics wholesaler.
@@pricklypearcamera what websites or places do you find the lots?
Had 2 of the Kodak C743's. Absolute junk. One just flat out quit, the other developed a weird sensor problem that scrambled the image on the screen and in photos..
Shoot! I've seen some issues for sure with that model over the years, main issue I see is the sensor/purple issue as well as problems with the mode selector dial on the top.
Binging this channel. How do people let their cameras get in such poor condition?
I think perhaps some people just see them as an object with little to no value after all these years, and treat them as such? It is sad to see sometimes, especially when it affects the actual performance of the camera.
Who sold all this junks to you was smart
I think your overpricing the cameras that have issues.
You might be creating your videos somewhat backwards. Okay, you might have gotten lucky with what's inside the box. However, that probably is not always the case. So now you have to justify spending all that money to your wife. When I was married, that was a tall order. On the other-hand, when I produced something first for her to see, she understood the value of the expenditure. As an example, I wanted a table saw. I purchased one and then built her some raised beds for her garden. She loved it and appreciated that I would spend (reasonable money) on her. If fact, you and I both know it was so I could build that bar for my man-cave. So when you make these videos, consider doing something with at least one camera that justifies to the viewer the expense of buying the box of cameras. Besides, it would be a lot of fun to see how the camera preforms and gives you an excuse to get out of the house and shoot something. And sure, it's not the camera but the eye and brain behind it that creates the art (Photo).
