have been wanting a digital camera for ages! i absolutely adore that quality older ones have because i feel like it captures how the memory looks in your head rather than how it looked when it happened- this is a perfect video to pop into my recommended near christmas time :)
1. The lower quality gives my reassurance and makes me recall I time when I had no insecurities (bc I was a child) but also because hyper HD cameras weren’t everywhere constantly monitoring us and making us do the 24/7 pampering gig 2. Digicams remind me of when I used to print photos and do photo albums which need to make a comeback
it's beyond romanticizing or nostalgia. it's the ability to create and not care about the quality of 4k but that what matters now is what you shoot. a memory. a piece of you that you'll never get back except on these little fellas. i'd like to think they smile every time we use them. : )
You speak as though you are reading a poem. Maybe I’m being dramatic but I loved your choice of words when describing how you craved tech from the past. I feel the same. I tried so hard to hold on to my first cd player, gameboy, digi camera & every thing that sparked joy for me in my youth. I’m so happy to find someone who appreciates these items just as much I do. 😭 I felt weird collecting old cameras but my life with them has come full circle & appreciate the beauty that they create now more than ever. It’s imperfectly perfect!
I dug up my parents old Nikon coolpix camera from the 2000s over the summer and I’ve grown so attached to it, I can’t go anywhere without it. I’m glad digital cameras have sort of made a comeback and I really hope it stays that way
ugh i cannot tell you how much this helped. i absolutely love ur vids!! so glad i came across u from tik tok. love your music as well!! stay safe and healthy
wow this is very helpful for people who dont know abt the old digital cameras, digital cameras are so fun to play with with their low quality it takes nostalgic feelings while using it thats why i like it, i have them like 4 in me rn. btw i am a seller of old digital cameras myself im glad that i turned my hobby became a small bussiness
I still have a collection of those antiques but they were revolutionary back in the day and in early 2000s they cost a fortune. Back then I paid like $1500 for my first one. If you hold onto them long enough they might go up in value.
glad you've posted this ! ive saved all your tiktoks about the cameras but having it all in one place where i can take notes is very helpful ! thank you xx
omg, I bought a Polaroid precisely bc of your posts, and bc it’s something I’ve needed desperately. My phone is old, broken, and has absolutely no storage, but I’ve always loved just, capturing the moments around me. I’ll always find myself wishing I had the ability to record the moments I am experiencing at all times: of my friends, the scenery, the noises. I love my family, and I love my people, and I love being able to appreciate the moments where I lived them. But my brain is foggy, my memory unreliable, and my phone a dead brick lol. And even though the quality is inarguably worse on these old cameras than on any modern phone , it actually lines up much more to what I experience real life like in my brain, if that makes sense. Really glad you came across my feed precisely to inspire me with this super cheap and stupidly simple solution.
I love the revival of 2000s digital cameras. After watching this video, I went rummaging around cabinets in my childhood home for any cameras or camcorders that are still there. I found a Sony Mavica (I think this is a video focused camera, it uses tiny CDs for memory) and an HP Photosmart M425 (Point and shoot). I need to keep looking but I know my dad gave me a blue Kodak Easyshare camera when I was younger. Personally, I also own a Polaroid Snap Touch (this is a point and shoot + Zinc printer 2in1) and an Instax Wide 300. I love shooting with them!
My dad had a DSLR from 2008, he passed down to me during grade 14 which kickstarted my photography hobby. The quality was insane but something about these point and shoots seem humbling
i found so many of my parent's old cameras and the way it takes photos creates so much nostalgia that doesnt even belong to me. i wish older/retro cameras were more popular!
Excellent video and great nostalgia throwback on all the great cameras of yesteryear. It was truly a golden era of digital cameras. I've got my own collection of old digital cameras that I wonder what to do with it. I've got old film cameras too that are pretty much museum pieces now. But Sony and Canon made so many consumer cameras back in the day and they were truly great in its time. The photos were pretty good too.
This is a beautiful video essay. Thank you for sharing this. I also love how this beautiful poetry-like style is made pre chat-gpt era, ensuring that it was created by a pure and sincere human mind with a beautiful spirit
I'm not sure how I ended up here, but that intro was beautifully done. Nostalgia sure is something. Also, I loved the ambience of that obnoxious honking, don't ask why, just all worked so well.
I’m so happy I found you in tiktok and visited your channel 😭 it’s so comforting and warm, I’ll definitely be binging all of your videos and I genuinely wish you the best in life! :)💕💕💕
my parents had the DCR - SX33E Handycam, a lot of my childhood videos were shot on that too, loved that thing growing up so I asked for a Handycam of my own when I was 14
i tried to write a text about how much yours videos helped me about something that i used to love when i was a kid and im tryng to have it back, but i'm not really good with words so, i just wanted to say thank you for the help im really happy that i found yours videos (i almost cried) they helped me a lot :D
Double A and Triple A batteries are great because you can find them anywhere in a pinch. Definitely rechargeable A's are good. On the waterproof camera, I'd be leary of used ones to submerge... but for rain photography they will be fine. The wide slot in your USB card reader is for Compact Flash that is used on older high end cameras.
This is the most thorough explanation and review ive seen and i love it sm . Thank you sm 😭 ive been looking for a camera that can film but with the price that isnt too expensive
Thank you, ✨ wonderful ✨ person I just met. Your energy and thoughts on this really hyped me up (i was thinking if i should really go for a camcorder) and I feel grateful for the sincernes. So, thanks! I wish you a lovely week ✌💚
I miss the early 2000s, the first digital camera we had was a Sony Mavica and then I bought a Samsung camera from Target that became my MySpace camera, haha.
The softness of the images taken by these cameras is a very unique experience as compared to the pseudo vivid ones from a typical smartphone. It's basically a picture for social media vs a picture for archiving
i just discovered your chanel via tiktok and i am obsessed with your vibe, your mentality and the way you edit, i'll never get enough of watching your vids!
this video is so helpful for me ! i love digital cameras since i was a kid, but my old camera is broken, so i need to buy a new one :) thanks for the video ♡
I have a Minolta Dimage z1 and it was a pain in the butt to get it working. It doesnt read cards bigger than 2 gigs, it requiers 4 AA batteries, i only have 2. But it was worth it. It takes 3.2 megapixel photos and videos, the problems were only those 2. And it was 9 dollars. Love it.
I never would have guessed that people would be setting down their cameras and taking pictures with a thing we call a smart "phone." My first "real" camera, when I was in my teens, was my late uncle's Contax 35mm rangefinder. SInce then I've bought several: Canon A1, Digi8 Handicam, Sony Mavica, A710is, 7D, 40D, 60D, and R50. They all still work.
first of all, I love ur cute personality u seem like such a fun person to be around ! :D so I have a professional camera that im selling and getting some 2000s digital cam (still researching which one!). I always thought I needed a super high res pic to capture memories with a lot of detail, but I think I've realized that the almost dream like/not quite reality that some of theses older cameras capture do a better job of capturing memories because of the way or minds kinda distort things and create a nostalgic twist. I have an older phone (the iPhone 8) which I really don't like the pictures of, and honestly the newer phones have a lot of post processing I don't like either, so a compact digital camera I can always have with me is the perfect companion :) I think there's a reason why the lower quality pics always have the most sentimental value!
nice. i use a ricoh px, and a ricoh grd3, and a panasonic lumix dmc sz3. love digicams for shooting graffiti and sticker art and shadowplay around bushwick and bed stuy.
i'm home rn for thanksgiving, rummaging through dresser drawers in my childhood bedroom, desperately searching for my old Nikon Coolpix camera so I can take it back to nyc with me, and shoot cute pics with my friends on nights out
Really great video, I've just got into 80's polaroid 600 cameras which is going amazingly, but the late 90's/early 2000's is really my era. I'd love to have a camera from around this sort of time, and this certainly helps a lot What was your intro recorded on? It looks so great
I had that same red sony camera and my dad also took me to target to get it, but I think I was in 6th grade? Good times honestly, really weird to look back on now, because I remember emptying out my piggybank and hoarding birthday money to get the ~100 dollars to afford it. I used to take it out with me and film friends and I doing dumb stuff or skateboarding. One of my favorite memories was taking the thing to the mall with friends and just filming eachother asking random people stupid questions. Then I got an LG flip phone and the camera got stashed. I also had a blue COOLPIX camera I found on a power box in Pennsylvania back in like 2012. It had a bunch of photos of this Korean family just hanging out. I took a ton of pics with that camera and then I eventually lost it in philadelphia, continuing the cycle. Anyway, I know I'm ranting a lot, but I miss the days of these cameras. Things don't feel the same anymore :(... I rigged up a VHS camcorder with a drill battery and use that now to make music videos for my sound collage project, and the quality on that thing is probably better than my old sony cam hahaha.
I was just looking in around in my house for some old stuff and I found 2 cam corners and 1 Olympus camera, 1 of the camcorders was Sony from 2010 and the other was JVC from 2001, and I was really into videography and photography at that time and really wanted a camera and finding these cameras made me really excited, especially because I love the video and photo quality of the old times, I’m trying to find the chargers and batteries for these cam Cordero and hopefully I can start using them ❤

I grew up on this technology, I love how these cameras are getting loved again (These cameras are being used for horror movies a lot now, even better)
that intro almost made me cry!!! IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL
I have a similar Sony Handicam, which was also a family cam. Loved finding videos of me in my childhood that had been lost in my memory.
I need to know how you edit these!! So beautiful and creative!!!!
I love the revival of 2000s digital cameras. After watching this video, I went rummaging around cabinets in my childhood home for any cameras or camcorders that are still there.

sony handycam rep! that was my first camera line as well. different model but i was so happy with it for years.

Another awesome channel featuring a photographer who truly enjoys photography as a real hobby. Big kudos to you!
just bought a sony cybershot w80 and get it in a week. love love love this video it was exactly what I needed
When I look on my old camera with my photos with bad grafity I can live back to that memory. It's so satisfying.
TBH the intro made me tear up & I agree w your explanations about why Y2K technology is being glamorized
the intro of this video is so beautiful
I'm not sure how I ended up here, but that intro was beautifully done. Nostalgia sure is something. Also, I loved the ambience of that obnoxious honking, don't ask why, just all worked so well.
I really really love your videos! Just listening to them makes me feel some sort of calmness.
you inspire me SO much, it's crazy how beautiful, how much effort is in your videos.
ahh thank you so much, i love to hear that

What was your intro recorded on? It looks so great
I had that same red sony camera and my dad also took me to target to get it, but I think I was in 6th grade? Good times honestly, really weird to look back on now, because I remember emptying out my piggybank and hoarding birthday money to get the ~100 dollars to afford it. I used to take it out with me and film friends and I doing dumb stuff or skateboarding. One of my favorite memories was taking the thing to the mall with friends and just filming eachother asking random people stupid questions. Then I got an LG flip phone and the camera got stashed.
I also had a blue COOLPIX camera I found on a power box in Pennsylvania back in like 2012. It had a bunch of photos of this Korean family just hanging out. I took a ton of pics with that camera and then I eventually lost it in philadelphia, continuing the cycle.
Anyway, I know I'm ranting a lot, but I miss the days of these cameras. Things don't feel the same anymore :(... I rigged up a VHS camcorder with a drill battery and use that now to make music videos for my sound collage project, and the quality on that thing is probably better than my old sony cam hahaha.
thank you for the video!
Ma’am I came here for camera advice and ended in tears.
Here after that BBC article. I agree that digital cameras can be really good for unique-looking photos.
A digital camera is one of the few things I wish I had during my childhood, but never got.
beautiful beautiful storytelling and such good information, exactly what I was looking for thank you so much :)
Really enjoyed this, as a camera enthusiast and a New Yorker.
I was just looking in around in my house for some old stuff and I found 2 cam corners and 1 Olympus camera, 1 of the camcorders was Sony from 2010 and the other was JVC from 2001, and I was really into videography and photography at that time and really wanted a camera and finding these cameras made me really excited, especially because I love the video and photo quality of the old times, I’m trying to find the chargers and batteries for these cam Cordero and hopefully I can start using them ❤
