- I love these cameras. only recently did I realize they are very similar, only a few years apart. Which one truly holds up the best? Is the Stylus an upgrade to the XA? I dunno, Watch to find out!

I love my XA but I was honestly a little surprised to see that the XA was noticeably sharper than the Stylus.
I've said this many times, but I wish we could get a modern re-interpretation of the XA. Tiny 35mm rangefinder with a 35mm lens and aperture priority. It's the perfect combination of convenience and control, and there are so few cameras like it.
Honestly it was a lightning strike. And it never strikes twice.
I love these Olympus Stylus cameras beyond belief. My dad picked up quite a few of these for practically nothing back in the mid-00s, this specific model included, and gave them to me when I was in college a few years back. In the last five or six years, I have put so many rolls through these things and to see them so slept on compared to the Contax or Yashica p&s systems is honestly a crime. Gotta love seeing someone show one off with such precious memories attached. I'll always carry one of these on me everywhere I go.
That said if one of these cameras existed where I didn't need to turn the flash off every single time I turned it on, I would die.
No automatic winding is actually something i really like about the xa! Hate the motor sound...
Appreciate the video! I bought an XA, MJU zoom 115 and a Fujifilm DL-270 at a local thrift for practically pennies to take with me to Japan in a couple months. Looking at the images on Lomography's site blew me away how nice the images were on the XA and MJU. Never shot with such a compact camera and both have surpassed my expectations. The XA just feels so good to shoot with.
Loved seeing the old photos of you and the fam.
I knew that would be popular haha
I loved this. Wouldn’t mind seeing more cameras go head to head
I've owned an XA, an XA2 and an XA1, and the XA2 is the one I keep using the most, its zone focusing is definitely easier to use than the XA's rangefinder and its light meter is excellent. I think the lens on the XA2 is as sharp or sharper than the XA's, at least in abundant light. The XA1 has a fixed focus lens and only two ISO settings but the pictures it makes are way better than you would expect.
Great comparison, I couldn’t decide between the 2 and I bought the mju instead. After seeing these photos the XA looks a bit sharper.
your family pics were precious! thanks for sharing. Enjoyed the vid. I'm now looking at eBay to get my hands on one! haha
I must say… the synth vibe for this nostalgia story was the perfect choice 🔥
Ah thank you!
This video was great! Loved seeing Yung $turm lol I'd love to see you do a video on the Ricoh GR1 if you ever get your hands on one!
Oh that’s a good idea
The remote is handy and easy to find online. I admit, I hardly ever use mine.though.
fully melting upon seeing those childhood photographs
I was so cute I dunno what happened
@@ThePhotoDept you became beautiful, you butterfly
Luv u
What is sort of crazy about the Olympus cameras like these are the lenses are praised but are usually triplets or tessar designs. Just simple, no frills type of lenses that are meant to get the job done (minus the stylus zoom cameras that have more elements). Like, $500 for an Olympus MJU II is bananas considering you get a shit ton more with a $50 Nikkormat and a 50mm lens. I found my original MJU I for $8 and it's nice but it just has a triplet lens that is nice bit not great. The one thing that is crazy is the 100 autofocus points but I dont enjoy using it all of the time. Honestly, it's my "dog walking" camera lol Really interesting video though! Appreciate the content and forget the haters. Also, the real question is, is heavy whipping cream kosher in coffee :)
First to comment! Always wanted to see a comparison between these two cameras.
I think those light leaks often come from the crack around the barrel of the lens. the rubber seal there and wear out over time.
I’ve heard that happens in the Yashica t4 but never heard of that affecting the Olympus cameras. I need to look into that.
i had focusing issues with my xa, i think the rangefinder wasn't calibrated or something, but i still really liked the camera!
Yeah apparently the rangefinder is easy to calibrate !
The only problem with those zoom Stylus cameras is if you bump the flash the camera just shuts down. And the flash pops up right where you'd put your hand. But love the quality for what it is and how easy that clam shell design slides into a pocket.
Yep that’s literally something that’s happened to me a million times. I think I’m used to it now hah
Bb Chwistopher sooo cute!!
When talking about the Olympus 35mm f2.8 no one ever mentions the AF1. World's first all weather point and shoot introduced in 1986, has the same lens as the Mju2 and you can find them for next to nothing because they don't have the fashionable good looks of the Mju or the XA. You could almost call it the missing link in the evolution of those 2 cameras.
Anyway love your videos. Cheers from Australia.
Damn I need to find one
The XA is cool, I have the mju i / stylus, a little fun pocket rocket...
I thought you said 4.99 and immediately thought that’s a great price but it’s 499. It’s crazy how the compact cameras/ point and shoots were seen as obsolete and now they have become mainstream again due to Instagram culture.
How about a minox 35Gl vs the xa. The only difference is the gl being a zone focus. The rest they are equal.
I’ve never even seen one!
@@ThePhotoDept To bad I'm not in the states. I would have loaned you mine.
I’d like to see a xa vs xa2
Oooh great idea.
What film did you use?
Fuji Superia 200
Time to try an Olympus OM camera and move back to coffee 🙂
Haha
I am a huge XA fan. Stylus original might be in your budget

Me.
Maru Coffee, hell yes.
HELL yes
@@ThePhotoDept I'm in Brooklyn, but was just in LA last week and this place was incredible. I'm honestly jealous you have access to this coffee, hahahaha. Great videos, boss. Keep it up!
@@brklynbstrd i love it so much. I am very lucky to be near two locations haha. Thanks man!
It looks like the xa has better quality glass!! Both are very good cameras!! I personally have the olympus stylus epic dlx (which I got for 50 euros) and its glass is just great!!
Yeah they are all nice
Motcha?
Matcha?
@@ThePhotoDept Oh tea! All right!
