I have an Olympus OM-D E-M1 which has a fantastic touch screen and auto focus. I like it a lot, but it is M4/3, so it suffers a little in low light, but really takes great images. However it has a zoom lens that is giant, so not great for travel. I love the A6000, it is compact, and this kit lens is small and produces good enough images for traveling, and has lots of focus points. For me, it's the one I grab if I have to travel for 3 days or so.

No idea why you made this video or why it was even recommended to me, but when I looked at the camera it reminded me of the only camera I've ever bought which, so I went to confirm and yes it is Canon PowerShot SX130 IS. I've made hundreds of photos on it when I was travelling. And those photos still look great. But most impressive part - I checked the price it it was barely $200 for a new camera on batteries which I thought it was limitation back then, but turns out it is a big plus now, when most devices have built in batteries that you have no idea how long will last and how to replace them in future. Just realizing that more than 10 years old camera can still operate given a couple of the charged AAA seems supernatural. Pretty cool stuff. Thanks for sharing.
@Gr8Digicams10 ай бұрын
Yes, I agree. It's nice not to have to rely on specialized batteries and chargers, when you can scrounge for some AAA batteries, or keep extra when traveling.

I never thought I would see anyone talk about the Pentax K100D Super, my first DSLR that I started digital photography with over 15 years ago. The thing that struck me was the ISO maxed out at 16000 and the fastest film i used was ASA1600. and that is where the similarities ended, 1600 was so much better on a digital camera even at that point in time this camera was that start of my Digital camera addiction, i added the K10D, Kr, k5 MKII, K3, K3 MKII and MKIII the Kp and lastly the K1 MKII. Digital photography became a big part of my life, i started printing my own work on different Canon Pixma pro printers, I was able to sell some prints but printing and sharing my work got me involved in event photography for many years. I never set out when I started digital photography looking to photograph events, i just wanted to improve my photography, digital photography made it easier to post process files and make prints larger than the ones I had made in my film days. Printing my work was the best decision I ever made and having my work framed and displayed around the house brings me a great deal of satisfaction. As time passed my camera collection grew to include Fujifilm, Olympus, Panasonic and Nikon cameras my last purchase were the ZF and Zfc, i always wanted a Fujifilm XT3, I bought one slightly used from B&H photo loved it and picked up the XT5 AND XH2. l wanted to add a Nikon but it had to be different than what I had and the ZF was that camera, a camera that truly brought me back to my film days in a modern digital design and the ZF and Zfc were the cameras to get some manual focus lens, for this i chose a few Voightlander prime lenses and now my collection is complete and I can die a happy photographer. I want to be buried with my Pentax K1 MKII and my Nikon ZF. Happy New Year.

The sad part is, that these cameras do not have AF fine adjustment which was available in K10D in service menu (not very usable) and started to be standard in great K20D (2008) which is still quite usable camera and is the first Pentax having CMOS with Live View, which is superuseful for manual focusing of old lneses. It is also weather sealed. Lowend line got AF tuning feature much later in KR for the first time. First cameras with video were K7 and KX. AF fine tuning is quite crucial for DSLR, because phase detect AF is not able to overcome lens/body tolerances and especially with large aperture lenses it is very visible, how photos are misfocused and need some correction. K20D has memory for 20 lenses which became standard for all hi-end bodies while K100D, K200D, Km, Kx do not have such option and once you attach lenses like FA50/1.4 it is almost miracle to have correctly focused photo with them. It usually is off by several centimeters on every portrait you take. so instead of focused eyes the thin DOF is in nose or ears area. The only way how to fix this on these bodies was to send both camera and lens for service to align them. And then you changed camera body and it was incorrect again, because different tolerances. But with K20D, K7, K5, Kr, K30, K5II, K50, K3, 645Z, K3II, K70, K1, KP, K1II, K3III you can simply go into menu and set +/-10 AF compensation for every lens, do some tests to find correct value and problem is solved. Concerning AA batteries, all those K7, K5, K3 cameras can be powered by battery grip that holds either other D-LI90 or pack of 6xAA batteries. But to be honest, my K20D from 2008 could do 1400 shots on one battery and that same battery even now is still capable of doing over 800 pics. In general pack of fresh 4xAA NiMh 2500mAh in K100D will do over 1600 shots before they need recharge. K100D has no magnesium body. It is low-end with glass reinforced plastic. First light alloy body was K7.
@ShutterKnack11 ай бұрын
Not sad at all especially for the ones who like to tinker like me. I have one. If you take off the bottom plate, there are three tiny screws you can turn to adjust the AF. Clockwise to fix back focus. Counter clockwise to fix front focus. This trick is doable from the ist D and even to the K3 if the back or front focus is more than what the menu can offer. I calibrated mine once on the K100D Super and it works pretty great with my fast lenses.

Rechargeables lasts forever, but only with the low self discharge type batteries, Panasonic Eneloop or Ladda, which are the same (Eneloop) but rebranded. Although the battery indicator shows battery depleted (this is a well known flaw of all AA powered Pentax DSLRs) in fact they will last for months.

Sony sells a product that is proprietary and discontinues production of the "Memory sticks" ... Since they do not license after market sticks you might as well toss the camera in a dumpster. Sometimes new old stock things turn up in small numbers on line but not often enough to rely on. Never buyin another Sony anything.
@Gr8Digicams11 ай бұрын
I agree with your sentiment. I don't buy anything Sony that is new, I get them 2nd hand. I had a projection TV that we paid over $1k for years ago, it died right after the warranty was over. No recalls, no nothing. I was pretty angry. And I also agree with you on the memory sticks, however I bought this cheap point and shoot camera just to see how well it did. It was a steal, only $5 from Deseret Industries (the Mormon thrift store), came in the box with manual, memory card, and even batteries. So not a big loss if the camera didn't work. Lastly, if anyone needs to find these special proprietary memory cards, they are easily found online (Ebay, Amazon, shopgoodwill.com). Thanks for your comments.
