I´ve been looking for some months for the ultimative cheap Street Photography camera for under 100 Euro / $ for you. And- success: I guess I´ve found it - It can shoot in jpeg and RAW, has even a flash and looks pretty nice. It´s the Nikon J1 from 2011. For just around 80 bucks.

I am Oliver, a Street Photographer from Germany with a big love for Italy - mainly Turin. But i am a passionate traveller as well - check out my website krumes.com for photos i´ve made on my journeys to Tokyo, New York, Paris, London, Myanmar, Vietnam or China.
I´ve been shooting Street Photography (on Fuji x100v and XT4, Ricoh GR3 and Sony A7CR2. I ditched shooting with Leica or Nikon so far - but who knows?) for nearly 20 years now.
In 2016 i started to teach Street Photography workshops. I had solo and group exhitibions in Germany, Austria, Hungary and Italy, published my first Street Photography book "Immerse light, embrace shadows" last year and was juror for international photo contests.
This channel is for all Street Photography beginners and pros - if you have any requests for future videos, please leave a comment - very curious about your opinion. Oh, and I am still a beginner in this KZbin thing so your comments help me a lot - and please forgive me my bad English (I am tschörmän)...
