My cousin took his old Canon 40D on Safari. I nearly fainted when he told me that he was toting that old dinosaur on his trip of a lifetime. His images were beautiful, and had amazing quality. It goes without saying that it's not the camera, but the photographer who takes the picture.

[@zachsteiner]

Lmao I take my Canon 10D and Nikon D80 around sooo yeah lmao

[@94slingshot]

I take my 30D’s , I have 2 that I used for bicycle races, out to play every once in awhile. I still love the images that they take.

[@itsjorgieeSF]

Absolutely it’s the photographer. I shoot with digi cams, to semi professional cameras. Yes I’m some cases there are limitations however once you understand that and your composition skills are strong you can make 90% of the images outstanding.

[@woutvandesompele8310]

Lol I have a Nikon D3100, a Canon 40D works perfectly fine for a Safari trip.

[@Behindstage]

Well said 👍

[@billybeck]

Fuji S5 pro is simply magical. It’s old now but beats hands down so many modern cameras. Great video.

[@biosfearmag]

Happy that everyone is figuring out that the camera doesn't matter as much as the final image. I've always shot both, but the Olympus EP-1 with the Panasonic 17mm pancake lens I used to shoot with over a decade ago is a golden setup I wish I still had. My current setup is a Ricoh GR IIIx for street and a Fuji GW90ii medium format film camera for landscape. But, just recently bought a new battery to bring my Contax i4r back from the dead.

[@krystianbv87]

Panasonic 17mm?

[@biosfearmag]

@@krystianbv87 you're right. I got some numbers mixed up. it was the Panasonic Lumix 20mm f1.7.

[@TBN1]

I really loved the video; I have a soft spot for old cameras as it shows you don't need a huge amount of money to enjoy photography. Some of the old cameras are built beautifully with proper buttons and dials and not an awkward touch screen menu in sight. I found the speed and tone of the video really relaxing too. I hope you contue making videos as they are very good and I’ve subscribed.

[@oliverkeys3953]

Thanks for the comment and really glad you enjoyed the video!! :)

[@unbroken1010]

You need some. Too bad they giving our tax dollars away for a proxy war and :fascist regime of Zelinsky , a world economic forum shill

[@PaulStrople]

I got a 20D from my father-in-law as a Christmas present. A little background: I've been a professional photographer for over 5 years at this point. I have all the latest and greatest equipment, and I love the cameras that I use for professional work (Canon R6 Mark II's) But the images and colors out of that 20D... man alive... they are MAGIC. The B&W shots straight out of the camera are gorgeous! There's just something about those older sensors that's special!

[@sebastianop.3052]

I bought an e-pm2 for just 10£, and with a 28mm vintage lens is my favorite combination. I love it, light, compact and walking around makes me easy to make pictures.

[@cloudyy1167]

where did you buy your e pm2 from? curious!

[@OneMonthTwoCameras]

@@oliverkeys3953 thank you! Lovely to see so many of us out there enjoying these older cameras ❤️

[@StreetPhotographyChannel]

Absolutely! This is why I back to DSLRs and I switched back recently also to an old Olympus Micro four Thirds camera.

[@mudgie069]

Agree with you totally. I've been through countless "latest and greatest cameras" and went what some may call backwards with my digital cameras setup. I now have the Canon 5d mark II and Fuji X-T2, X-E1 as my cameras of choice. I can adapt all my old Minolta MC/MD lenses onto all 3 cameras. I also have a cheap speedbooster with Fuji system to get closer to the full frame look should I choose. As you say, the newest cameras can be very exciting but there is just something lovely about using older cameras.

Great video! I just bought my first camera and I'm learning a lot from your videos, keep it up!

[@JonathanCalkins]

Excellent video. I have a lot of used cameras, but the 5D classic is my favorite. Along with the old 2004 1D mark ii. Newer gear is great, but I always find myself using old stuff.

[@patrickcazer]

Man I would love to see more videos like this if i'm being honest. I notice a lot of older cameras have a classical film look.. fuji is probably the only modern camera you can get this look out of just by playing with the camera. Would love to see more videos on older mirrorless cameras with sweet color science. Whats your thoughts on the pentax Q?

[@robinsommersfotografie1708]

I have an old Fuji X-E1 which has a great black and white film simulation. Bought it for 150 euros. Made a complete art book with this camera. Love the film look!

[@metalrat2]

Amazingly calm video, great experience you're sharing. Thank you!

[@oliverkeys3953]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@oh_ilya]

great video! I also love old cameras and their film characters. in my collection I have 5d, x100, canon pro1, nikon 990 and I'm going to dive deeper into the kodak CCD sensor soon (oly e300/400/500 and kodak's models). special respect for bmpcc og. i had it and really love but i have to sold for a new camera for a work. but now i'm planning to buy it and re-open again! don't stop making such a beautiful video.

[@oliverkeys3953]

Thanks so much for the comment! Really glad you enjoyed the video!

[@robstammers7149]

A calming video. No loud music, your voice is soft and great to listen to. I use older digital/film cameras too. My favoutites: the Sony Cybershot dsc R1/F828, the Olympus E20N, and the Sony Dimage A1 & A2. Fim wise my goto is the Canon EOS ELAN 2 (Silver/black body) and the Canon EOS 300V. Regards Rob.

[@oliverkeys3953]

Thanks so much for the comment!

[@johncharlesgray4913]

Totally with you! I migrated from older Pentax full frame digital to micro 43 a couple of years ago and love it. My first M43 was the Olympus e-p1, the first flagship M43 commercially successful camera, and I still have it as a backup. I subsequently bought an e-p3, and found a great deal on an OMD e-m1 mk1 for less than $200. They are all fabulous cameras. My favorite is the e-p3, because of it's size, ergonomics, build quality and image quality. I do have the EVF for it, which is a big help in bright outdoor light. The em-1 is a great camera, but not as compact, and I do use it regularly as well. I am actually thinking of acquiring either a Panasonic Lx3 or an Olympus XZ-1, even smaller cameras with Leica wide angle zoom lenses and a smaller CCD sensor, but great quality images in a camera that will literally fit in a pocket. Thanks for confirming my thoughts! Great video!

[@oliverkeys3953]

Thanks is very much for the comment! Glad to hear you’re also enjoying using older camera models :)

[@rocheuro]

beautiful video ! and great shots.

Hell yea dude! I used a canon 1ds mk3 such a fantastic camera i still have it 🤩 great video! I love the photos and message you have to share 👌😊

[@colmpharrellphoto]

Great video man, really enjoyed it and some great pics in there! I'm starting to agree with you, every year theres a new 'latest and greatest' camera, its impossible to keep up!

[@oliverkeys3953]

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@Isajaymes]

The 5d ii stayed in my bag till '22 just something special about how you can emulate film with those colors. Olympus lens have a beautiful film like texture as well.

[@oliverkeys3953]

[@simon.revill]

yep, I’m with you on this. Bought new at the time, my Olympus E-400 has a pleasing quality.

[@Kim_Alexander]

Nice video! getting my 5D tomorrow. last time I used that one was when it was released. Nikon D700 have character too. I got that one too looking forward to compare it to 5D

[@hachewie]

Excellent video. I agree. Love my Nikon D700 (Now 15 years old) and the 50mm 1.8 is usually on it.

[@hellsing0999999999]

Olympus colors baby! And it helps that even their more modern cameras look retro too! I'm using an Olympus M10 MK IV and it's a real joy to use. Small body, small lenses and excellent quality.

[@marcdenhoed5461]

Great video Oliver! I recommend you look into the older Olympus E-series. Esprecially the E300/400/500 have the older Kodak CCD sensors and they have that particular film look. I have an Olympus E500 myself, paired with the pancake 25mm f2,8 and the 50mm f2.0. Love it!!!

[@sterob09]

hey Mark..if you can locate the e1 i recommend you buy it...because you wont be disappointed.. i to am a big fan of the old Olys kodak KAF- images..i also shoot with the 500 and 400 but that big canons full frame sure looks tempting..that sensor pixel area is immense...

[@TC-rv6sz]

Omg I started with an E-1 when I was 12! My parents weren't using it anymore since our 50mm 2.0 was partially broken (aperture stuck at widest, I made do by using paper cutouts stuck in front of the lens if I ever needed to use a tighter aperture). I still used the cam for a decade (paired with the 50mm 2.0), and my pics eventually got featured in a magazine as part of a series they did on still life + miniature-based photos 😊. The camera had extremely amazing colors! I'm so happy to see people embracing old digital gear 😊 its the best. The other camera I used was a small Sony point and shoot (the Sony cybershot dsc-t300 I think).

[@quandale_dingle7585]

My first and only camera so far is also an Olympus E-P2 and I love it.

[@rdscleaners]

Yup, totally agree. I had a bunch of Z cameras, the 7 and 50, they took good pics but I love using a EPL1 I recently picked up. Some of the pics are like paintings with the correct exposures. A lot of fun to shoot.

[@alexsol785]

Canon 5d Classic is amazing! Such a pure photography experience for very little money. Slap on a 40mm 2.8 or 50mm 1.8 for amazing photos and bang for buck.

[@PerfectNormal]

My favorite. My go to camera for life.

[@acrummey85]

Great video, I agree completely. My cameras are all micro four thirds Olympus. An E-P3, an E-M5, an original E-M1 and my “new” camera is an E-M5 mark ii (not a big fan of the fully articulated screen however). The newest is three generations old. All purchased used of course.

[@kenblair2538]

Great video. Last year I upgraded my Olympus E 1, to a E 30. As I have a large collection of 4/3 lenses. Recently picked up a Olympus EP mini and E P2. The mini came with standard 14-42 lens . With the Panasonic 4/3 to m4/3 , I can use my 4/3 lenses. KB

[@TC-rv6sz]

4/3rds is an underrated system ❤❤❤

[@markhoffman9655]

I look back at the 3MP photos from a Canon Powershot A430 and they still look great - and thanks to software like Topaz Gigapixel you can boost them 3x or more if you want to do big prints.

[@SuperMan-ep2rh]

Thank you! Very nice video! I've also picked up used DSLR recently - Nikon D3000 + lens. For a fraction of the price - 40 euros. It's quite outdated by modern terms and even back in the days it was entry-level camera. But still it gets the job done. And I can adopt my old manual F-mount Soviet lenses (Jupiter, Kaleinar 5-H) which is a huge plus.

[@oliverkeys3953]

Thanks very much! Great to hear you’ve adapted some older lenses, I’ve also adapted an old Helios 44 lens to my canon 5d with great results!

[@PsyceBorneo]

i have the same body of Olympus and i pair it with cheap cctv manual lens. At first im a bit negative before i start using but as start capture few photo i realize how filmic that photo i take and when i bought my second lens an f8 holga lens it resonate so much and early 90s and 2000s photo that i use to take with point and shot film camera. Now im in love with it.

[@Muchtoobizy]

I hope this video inspires people who feel that "real cameras" are too expensive, to go out and find one from a previous generation. I am a great fan of the X-trans II sensor in the Fuji X-T1 which has its own colour palette. Love it or hate it; it stamps its own personality on the images it captures. You have included some superb sample images, I especially like those coming from the Olympus EP-2.

Hello Oliver, love the video and the general vibe you give off. I am currently looking for a way to get into this wonderful world of cameras, but I really don’t know what to look out for. I do really love the look of older cameras and film-cameras. So I ideally want a camera that shoots stunning pictures, but I also want the possibility og taking cinematic video such as yourself - do you have, not a list per se, but a “look out for” category of cameras?

Hey, I am absolutely amazed by the picture at 2:27 :0 I currently have a Fuji X-T4 but I would love a smaller simpler camera like the olympus e-p2. Did you only shoot jpeg? Maybe I just need to learn more about Fujis settings and then I can also achieve shots like at 2:27. Just seems a lot nicer to have an old school camera that fits into the pocket of my jacket :) thx for this video

I recently bought canon eos 350d just to slow down my "photograph". A lot of brand new camera makes photography trend really fast and makes me didn't enjoy my photograph again. I like this content! Good job! I'm sorry for my bad english.

[@KitLaughlin]

Well, Oliver-thank YOU. I have been a film shooter (and film maker) for more time than digital has been around, and I have been thinking about getting an older digital body for stills only (we mostly do video these days). After I watched your video, I went to my travel program-making box (we are living on a boat at present) and retrieved my G85. Larger and heavier than your EP2, but excellent viewfinder (the lack of one is what put me off the EP2). I will pair this with the excellent 20/1.7, set up the look I want, and a-shooting I will go! Sincere thanks.

I like the video it records but I like the photos on the classic better... I'm starting to think that the manufacturing companies are doing that on purpose by not making a perfect camera with the perfect lens ... thats how they stay in business right ... thanks man.

[@leonpeterantonio]

Great Video! Love the style and your calm voice! Big fan of older cameras, too. Love the Lumix m43‘s. I was wondering, though: the photos in your video are still post-processed RAWs, right? If these were in-camera jpegs the look would be phenomenal and I’d head straight to eBay to buy one of these tiny E-PLs. If it’s RAW, what presets/editing techniques are you using?

[@oliverkeys3953]

Thanks very much! Yep all edited raw’s although there’s still a huge amount of character and colour from the sensor that’s imparted on the files when shooting this way. Being honest most of these photos just had basic exposure, contrast and white balance adjustments in Lightroom!

Hi! Great video and amazing shots! Which Fuji cameras did you try? Have you ever shoot X-pro1? Lot of people say it has similar qualities to Canon 5d classic. Do you still use 5d classic or have you already upgraded to different camera? Thanks a lot!

[@oliverkeys3953]

Hey, Thanks very much! I’ve owned a few Fuji cameras over the years including the Xpro1. Being completely honest, I absolutely love the feel and design of the Fuji systems but I really struggled getting the images to look the way I wanted with them. It was probably my lack of experience with the x trans sensor so I should give it another try sometime soon! Yep still use the 5d classic, I’ve also been testing the 6d which I’ve been enjoying using.

[@user-xx8lm5bf5f]

Stunning. How do you reduce the digital sharpness? Your pictures look so soft. Is it filter or some settings in lightroom?

[@luzr6613]

Nice video - thank you. The most filmic digital experience I have is with using my Olympus E300 (which I bought new in 2005) - 8MP Kodak CCD - tiny LCD only good for menu functions. I shoot it manual with vintage glass. Maybe you've tried the CCD sensors? I've several 4/3 bodies, and those with CCDs come closest to film in every way excepting the costs involved in film. The CMOS ones - the most competent I have are E-620 and E5 - have a distinctly different look to the images and, having Live View and flippy screens, are far less challenging to use with vintage glass. All, however, have OVFs, which is one less screen between me and the world. Cheers - Lkd & Subd.

[@DARO-the-PHARAOH]

Those older Olympus cameras are just so attractive looking.

[@MaxPanic]

I like to recommend trying any camera with a ccd. They have a unique look that isn’t like film and not like a modern digital camera either. The Panasonic lx5 is one of my faves. Small sensor, but great lens. Leica M8 is probably one to avoid, their sensors are problematic.
