This $200 camera shoots infinite film like photos

The Canon G7x ii isn't considered a very serious photography camera. However, with all cameras today kinda being the same, and film cameras + film prices becoming outrageous, "vintage digital" might be coming up. This camera allows you to shoot close to film-like photos on a digital medium. Oh, and Fujifilm x100v . #fujifilmx100v Yes, this is just for the algorithm. Don't get that camera. It's too expensive.

I'm noticing people pointing out the price. Remember, I live in Japan....... Not everyone lives in Europe or the US😂　I don't lie in my vids. 1) I bought the camera for ¥33,000 yen used, approximately $200 2) There have been used listings in Japan for similar prices last month when I was making this vid. The market is too hyped up now, so things are apparently getting pricey. Be careful and find good deals over a longer time span :)

I like the idea of just buying a camera and sticking to it for as many years as possible. I think if you can use the same camera for more than 10 years, you really master it and if you keep going a little longer, everyone else will have moved on from using that camera And you’ll have a unique style with equipment that other people can’t easily get any more. I think that’s the way to go.

I appreciate that you got this camera for $200, and great job on this video--but I think it's potentially misleading to prominently feature the price of the camera as you do in your title when it's so different from the going rate. For example, I know you "can" find a Leica M6 or a Contax T3 in a thrift shop for $5--but that doesn't make it a "$5 camera."

I bought this camera for my dad for Christmas 2020 but he ended up not wanting to use it. I don't know if I agree about it looking like film but there is definitely something special about the way this camera renders colors and also it is extremely versatile. I have gone on multiple international trips now taking only the G7X mk II and my Olympus 35 RC, two compact cameras, one digital and one film and have had no regrets when I used to regularly bring full size DSLRs with me everywhere I went. This combination works for me as someone who is primarily a street shooter, obviously it's not going to hold up for serious landscape photographers. But yes, this camera definitely has a pleasing character to its images that I have always loved.

This camera looks very interesting to me. I am getting on in years and was taught film photography in grade 9. In school we developed our own film, made contact sheets and then prints. My dad was a photo nut and had a darkroom in our basement where he also taught me to the entire process. We used mostly B+W Kodak Tri X 400 ASA film and printed 8x10 but we did experiment with Cibachrome colour film. One bonus was we also had a Russian Kirilian photography device acquired from a local college that didn’t want it anymore and I made many colour aura photos of my fingers and hands, leaves and small objects. Smell of ozone. I was about 12 when I started and did it for 5 years. I wish film and chemicals weren’t so expensive, still have the enlarger.

Nice one! I've been shooting old zooms for a couple of years now, even before the digicam craze. Like everyone else, I was firstly drawn by CCD colors and the price of this cameras. Also, some of them have quirky features which can make them really fun to use. I'm yet to try the Canon G5x or G7x. Right now I have my eyes on a Ricoh CX3. Cheers!

I've been shooting on DSLRs since 2007, but wanted something more compact for my hiking trips. First I wanted sony rx100 (even though I'm on Canon since 2003) but what made me buy G5X mk1 instead of all these models is the viewfinder...

Wow - I feel like this video was a love letter to my Canon G7X Mk ii. A camera that I should have paid much more attention to than I have. I bought it for vlogging purposes - but never quite got into vlogging. So it just sat ignored. Until recently I picked it up again for photography purposes. It takes gorgeous photos. That Canon color science is just right for me. There's so much for me to learn and I think I'll be able to do that with this camera.

I've had one for years, and it's awesome. I love that it shots raw and I can dump photos into Lightroom and edit them there as well. Being pocket I can take this into places I can't my DSLR into it. The low light auto focus isn't great at times , but if you take enough photos you'll get the shot you want. It takes practice to use and realize it's not going to be perfect on the first pass.

I feel like nowadays in life in general, everyone tries so hard to be so perfect without allowing any flaws to show. I think that's a huge reason as to why we are growing more towards a more retro/vintage look of shooting because it takes us back to that more relaxed way of life. Don't get me wrong, the style for it has always been around but i think its popularity these days is due to that.

I think this is why I love my Fujifilm x100s so much and don't really feel the need to get anything else until the day it dies. The camera isn't perfect for sure, but it is built beautifully and with a little tweak of the in-camera settings, you can take some really great looking photos without needing to edit at all.

Really interesting comments there and a perspective I haven’t previously considered for a camera I’ve owned for four years. My initial purchase was motivated from the perspective of a very capable , inconspicuous camera for everyday use with my only regret being its lack of a seperate mic input jack. (As found in the ver iii model.) Currently on loan to a beginner I’ll be giving its images a rethink when it comes back !!😀

My favorite retro digital camera is the Fuji f30. It's a 6 megapixel from 2006. The sensor on it was just incredible and noise looked a lot more camera grain like than with nearly anything else even from 10 years later. My biggest personal gripe was that it was only a 36-108mm lens and I like to widen back to at least 28mm. Otherwise I might consider trying to find one again. Even the original one I had I bought years after it came out and it still held its own. Unlike with many other cameras you could zoom in to 100% and pixel peep and the image would still hold up great.

I had the G7 X, first one, I won it not long after release and it was that camera that got me into photography proper. It was solid, it survived being ran over by my heavy mobility scooter after it fell out of my pocket and went under the rear wheels, heaviest part of the scooter with my 12 stone on top, yes the screen was cracked, a lot, and flash was bust but it still worked. That was until it ended up in a stream along with myself, Canon DSLR ( 1300d/rebel T6 ) and 4 lenses. I wish I could find the MKii for $200 in the U.K., I’d jump at it as I’ve heard bad reports about the 3rd iteration

Really nice and interesting video, made me want to buy one now! I'm curious how would it compare to some older stuff like G11, optical visor is always better than a screen for me. However - the thing that really makes shooting film so special to me, despite the imperfections, is being limited to 36 frames (and now every frame being expensive lol). That forces you to make every shot count, to really put some thought into it.

Almost all my recent personal work i been shooting around with an old Canon G12. I'll love if i get a Ricoh GR instead but I just can't afford it and the G12 is very small and easy to use, with a CCD sensor and captures un RAW too. Only one problem: is VERY SLOW compared with a dslr, sometimes i lose some shots if the action is too quick, but i trying to work around it and the results are very satisfying. In a way, i feel like that my pictures with it are more intimate thanks to it.

I own and use a Canon G16. Same thing - it has an old 35MM rangefinder feel in the hands esp. with the optical viewfinder and it encourages me naturally to compose my shots.

It's a Powershot G series - those have always been the serious point & shoot still photography cameras that Canon makes. The old ones are really fun if you can find a G5X, G15. Most of the recent models feel very similar, however the G1 X Mark III is basically an updated G5 X which is cool because I'm a fan of the EVF and the popup flash.

Not anywhere close! The G1xMk3 is an APS-C sensor camera, a totally different league from the smaller 1"-type sensors that are in the G5 and G7 series. The update to the G5x (which I have and like) is the G5xMk2. The G5xMk2 doesn't have the SLR-style viewfinder bump of the G5x, but moves the viewfinder to a pop-up, similar to what Sony does with their RX-100 series cameras.

@cybervehicle 9 ай бұрын

@@amberhawke The cameras have exactly identical ergonomics - I stand by what I said. The G1X Mark III is an updated G5X. The APS-C sensor helps with low light performance as well as the ability to have narrower depth of field, & even though that's not really important in a camera of this style, but from a photographer's standpoint if you put tape over the names of all three of those cameras you'd expect the G1X III to be the follow-up product.
