Got a Minolta SRT 101, but haven’t used it in about 5 years. It’s a nice camera, but the cost of film retired it.
I also have a Canon A series digital camera, which works OK but is really too small for my hands. Why can’t the camera makers make larger cameras designed for adult hands?
#31.. Good guitar amps use tubes or they are hybrid amps which use tubes in the preamp. The whole deal is that you don’t want the sound to be perfect and sterile you want the warmth that comes from the tube distortion.
I can’t see that advantage with film ,but I can see how people can miss the creative dark room days.
I worked at Target from 2000-2004, and did cameras while working in Electronics. These cameras are quite literally the ones sold in clamshell packaging barely a step above disposables.
I was basically there for the period when 35mm film was still viable, Polaroids were still selling well, APS/Advantix was attempting to simplify it for point and shoots, and digitals were at the point of being decent.
If anyone buys a basic Kodak digital now, which aren’t even great cameras, they are extremely easy to use. Load software, set camera in dock, get pictures. Just like 6-8 years ago.
On my own gear, I’ve had a Canon S2 IS for 4 years+ now that I loved, except for certain issues with autofocus targeting and being badly prone to shake blur on distance shots. I bought a Rebel T2i (550D for you European types) and it’s been beautiful.
#35: They do. The SX/G lines are bigger and take great shots. The A series is the cheap pocket point/shoot line.
Just when you thought Fuji was done, this happens.
#39: Everything old is new again…
Film photography!
Humbug!
And way too complicated!
Give me the blinding blaze of a powder flash any day! If you want to take real quality photos, using a truly proven technology the trusty old Daguerreotype is the only way to go.
Ah and the sweet perfume of mercury vapors!
Heavenly!
Plastic camera made in china.
Yep, thats progress. America is doomed, we don’t even make legacy hardware anymore.
