$10 Old Digital Camera That Looks Like Film | Olympus C-3000

[@michelk5]

I bought this camera when it came out for 750$. It was pretty good back in the days with a constant 2.8 aperture at all the zoom range. I gave it to my mother a few years ago. Still working fine!

[@GetOffMyyLawn]

As someone who upgraded my digital camera every 9 months in the early 2000's, I find the current digicam trend pretty funny. Back in the old days, people would argue about how many megapixels you needed to have the same resolution as 35mm film. If you want to try a really unique digital camera, pick up an Olympus E-10 or E-20. It used a split prism viewfinder so you could see through the lens, but without the mirror of an SLR. The raw files can still be opened in Adobe Raw / Lightroom.

[@mrtimtom2631]

Brother. The point of digicams is portability. I'm not gonna carry a big ass camera unless I'm taking advantage of the lens quality

[@Crunder_Dunder]

Woah, your voice, how you move with passion when you talk.. dude, this channel fills me with so much warmth.. Such a good find. Subbed.

[@huntrrams]

This is a great channel! Thinking of getting this! Thanks for this

[@dano8328]

I got a old sony dsc s85 and I love it. It has a fast lens f2.0-2.5 and takes great pics for 4.1mp

[@marksouthwell4490]

I have an array of retro digital cameras. I love the images they produce, their colour science etc. They're more fun to use thsn my DSLR or mirrorless cameras!

[@miacole]

i like this , feels very real , & beautiful colors !

[@robinjohntanjunto3843]

You empathize what I'm feeling right now and brings back the old soul. I'm currently looking for old digital camera and can't wait to have fun with it, I'm glad I watched this :))

[@vin424242]

Just came across this vid, i have one these i bought way back when, been stuck in a drawer for years , last month stuck some batteries in it and it still worked so went for a walk with it, been out with it a few times since, like you say its so much fun

[@johnnyc.5979]

I am working on doing a review for the Olympus C3030 digital camera. I was trying to find out how to shoot video. The shutter button doesn't work to activate the start of the video shooting. I can take pictures, but not video. Guess I need to find the manual. (just figured it out, I guess the camera was locked up, just press the shutter button to stop/start the recording). BTW, you've done an outstanding job at putting your video together, with the audio flowing through all the different segments. You've inspired me to make mine better, as I know mine are mostly boring. Great work, and the video was, FUN, just like the camera.

[@kris.krustev]

Hey man, great video and great production quality :)

[@buckrogers5331]

Great shots! And yes, the memory card - called an MMC card - was common back then, so was Compact Flash. I was about to throw mine away but decided to hang on to it after watching your video. I was actually looking for a 2nd hand street cam with street cred. The other "old" digital camera I used back in 2001 was a Fujifilm Finepix 6800Z . Took excellent pics )of produce in Cameron Highlands (Malaysia).

[@mrbarkan]

nice video! I have the C5050z and it's a bit quircky but the files that come out it, especially the TIFFs are incredible.

[@samanimeguy23]

Yep...I still have the Olympus C5050z too...my first real expensive digital camera...

[@franksmit9725]

Another great video! My personal take is that the sweetspot is 5-7 MP camera's from 2004-2006, I feel they are a bit more capable. I've got many older Fuji Finepix and Panasonic LX camera's, but do like Olympus (C-770) straight out of camera. Love hoarding cheap digicams, having my eyes on a Olympus Camedia C-5500 at the moment.

[@ColtonMatocha]

Fun is so important and a big stress relief!

[@jonlong1690]

Best is subjective. I think grain and soft pictures are awesome. Shooting several old ones now including my c4000 zoom.

[@DunkelRuhrOutdoors]

I shoot with an old 5€ cam that is more than 15 years old. The pictures have a distinct look. The lag of dynamic range and the grain are uniqe! Good video!

[@kenblair2538]

Great video. I still own my Olympus C 4000. Got to find the card now. KB

[@loficutoff]

cool photos, you make me feel old though talking about this camera I was your age when it came out haha :)

[@BmwolotlE90]

Hey bro could you possibly do a video explaining the functions and the stuff in the menu mean and do?

[@aominhtuan7273]

Thank u for such a great video. Love your work.

[@claudiasardone6735]

Where can you buy smart cards?

[@spookhouseplastic]

Really enjoyed this. Well done.

[@TheExoStranger]

Looks like I'm going to be on the look-out for one of these. This looks super fun to shoot with!

[@Kubaak01]

The SM card would be more expensive than the camera itself, they are pretty rare and sought after.

[@Analogbrain]

Cool video! I've never seen that camera before, it's probably a bit rare. However, I see it's got a CCD sensor, many old DSLRs have that too, and CF or SD storage, a bit higher resolution, and standard lenses, not 10$, but still cheap, for instance Pentax K10D, Nikon D40 or Konica Minolta D5/D7.

[@Infinite_suite]

Just bought one this morning for $5 had no idea it doesn't use SD card. Searching for the correct media card now.

[@april3184]

Anyone know where to buy the specific card reader?

[@adamoneale4396]

It's cool, I like it, I may get one and I don't want to detract from your video, but I reckon you can actually get better shots on film than on that.

[@siofna9709]

Hello I agree with you :-). I have a tiny collection of those older Digicams and it is a lot of fun making landscape photo walks with them. May favorites ons are the Panasonic Lumix LS3 and the Samsung ES15. With greetings from lower Bavaria.

[@isabelalbarran123]

Hi! Do you use a smartmedia reader? If so, what brand do you use?

[@AndrewKnepper]

Yes! Sometimes you don't need to spend any money if your parents have an old digital cameras laying around, but even so, spending $20 on a digital camera is nothing compared to film cameras lol. And they really do capture some stunning pictures with so much character!

[@adamoneale4396]

I don't know. You can get a Praktica fairly cheap

[@desireeg.456]

I have this exact camera, where can I find the card reader?

[@DrWakey]

Wait until you get a Sigma dp Merrill with Foveon sensor into your hands. You will be blown away by it's film like qualities, from how the camera itself is built to how sensor actually works.

[@victorm6176]

T brought one for $10 too, on sunday at the fleamarket oakland ca.

[@TheKitsuneMuffin]

I have the same camera but my computer cant read the smartmedia card even though I have a specific reader for it. If anyone can point me in the right direction of how to transfer the photos from the Olympus camera to my computer I would be so very thankful.

[@SuperBrekker]

would love to know that to , its 6 years that i am searching for a way to read my pictures of this camera ;)

[@_o__o_]

it looks like old digital.

Just got one on eBay!

Great video

[@willamspencer5261]

Can anyone show me a reader for this camera?

[@SD_Alias]

It was a very expensive camera as it was new. And even the digital cameras that cost 5000€ today will cost only a tiny fraction of this in 20 years. But yes it is fun to shoot with old cameras if you do not have to deliver a specific resolution. I still love shooting my GH2 or my Sigma Merrills…

[@АлексаМладић]

One word. Fujifilm X-E1.

[@D2G10]

@@skevosmavros yeah, 3 photos for 10 secs, in 5:04 video. nice. thanks.

@@D2G10 More images would have been better, but your initial claim was that he "didn't even show a single picture", but there are images at: 0:34 0:59 3:04 (yes, I scrubbed through the video looking for them - the things I do to procrastinate never cease to amaze me). If you press pause on each image and stare at it for 30 seconds, that will increase their runtime and make you happy. 😀👍

[@D2G10]

@@skevosmavros Do you know that being technically right 90% of the time does not actually make you right but just shows how limited your IQ is? Just curious if you ever thought about that? If not, it's never too late to start.

[@skevosmavros]

@@D2G10 A better response would have been along the lines of "Oops, my bad, I was wrong, he did show a few images. I also agree with you that more images would have been better". See? Not so hard. Or you could disparage the IQ of the person who spotted your mistake. Your call. 🙄
