Vintage Digicam Adventure to the New Elevators at Hotel Roanoke. Sony Cybershot Camera DSC-TX10

[@carselevators930]

I just can’t stop talking about the CJ Anderson fixtures! I’m glad the Hotel Roanoke decided to go with something old for the mod to make it nicer

[@DieselDucy]

They look great!

[@DiegoElevators44]

Please do more like this. I love these types of throwback camera videos. Maybe you can include more elevators and food reviews, and Vlogs and reviews of different vintage cameras as well. Maybe you can also include the famous elevator at the market garage 😊

[@DieselDucy]

More in the works :) I had SO MUCH fun shooting this!

The modernization for the Hotel Roanoke elevators came out quite nice! The cabs are still ornate. I bet you are happy to see CJ Anderson buttons in your area. Seeing it with the Otis voice is neat too. The TX10 is so nostalgic. I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I felt like when the TX10 was towards the end of its primary time of your channel (Late 2014) the video quality went down. However, when you did this video, the quality seems closer to when you first starting filming with it. Nice to see it again!

[@DieselDucy]

I know right? Granted at this point in my life youtube is kind of like a job to me but I still have fun with it! Bringing out this TX10 I don't know why but almost brought out some of my old video style. I honestly want to do more videos like the one posted above.

[@iLoVeSD70Ace35]

So glad to see that the side elevator is being modernized rather than being decommissioned! At least that means we’ll get to ride it again. Hopefully I can pay another visit someday.

I’m surprised the center in the square garage dover is still there. Parking garage elevators usually don’t last as long. That is a testament to dover quality.

[@DieselDucy]

It is good

[@CenTexElevators489]

Impressive elevator videos, and I really fell in love with the modernized elevators at the Hotel Roanoke, especially with the CJ Anderson Architectural Historic Style-2 fixtures. It would have been cool if the Menger and Crockett Hotels and the Hemisfair Tower in San Antonio and the Driskill Hotel, UT Tower, and Texas State Capitol in Austin used these awesome CJ Anderson fixtures. By the way, I still film with the traditional style cameras, in particular the Canon Power-Shot series. Most of the time I use 1080-HD, but sometimes I use 480p for that nostalgic effect. Also, did you hear that many people in their 20s through 40s are ditching their smartphones in favor of simpler, traditional-style flip or slide type phones like the original cell phones of the 2000s? Maybe there will be a nostalgic revolution with the departure of all the newfangled technology in favor of the older style technology that is actually easier to use, is easier to repair, and is more reliable.

[@DieselDucy]

Yep! Especially Gen Z. They are going back to stand alone cameras such as this one and flip phones. I can fully see the appeal of it as well.

Man I wish I had my Panasonic LUMIX DMC TZ20 still, or can get hold of a working one. Mine was degrading over time henche I had only it around 2011-2013. I still have my Panasonic HC-V720 and HC-VFX990 as well as still using my Rodemics since 2014... But I went absolutely bananas with my Lumix camera before I could afford to upgrade as it literally was about to break on me...

Nice elevators! Amazing Beautiful and Epic Hotel Roanoke elevators! Also first of all, Market Square Walkway elevator needs a new door operator! Second of all, I wonder what could those noises be in the Market Square Walkway elevator?

[@evana6425]

[@DieselDucy]

No worries! It was a great mod and I love it too!

[@emmareporter4324]

i have a pixel 6 but i shoot on a canon 6D DSLR for photos because of the experience: the shutter sound, messing around with the dials for my preferred exposure settings... no comparison to shooting on my phone. also the nice chunky feel in my hands is just the cherry on top for me. also it takes better photos than my phone because it was on the more pro end of canons lineup.

[@DieselDucy]

I have a 90d as my shooter.

[@officialSgtPepperArc360]

For starters, I now shoot my videos using my Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX99 or my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. But the TX10 sure brings back nostalgia!

Digicams are also more fun because they don’t eat into your phone’s storage, just pop in a new SD card and you’re good to go. Plus, the audio quality is far better than any iPhone.

I totally agree! While I can get add on mics for the iPhone, the video from the phone, well still looks like it was shot on a camera phone.
