My first camera I bought with my own money was an S60, I let my aunt borrow it and she lost it. I'm still Salty about it 20 years later. 😂. Some of the best family pictures I took were with this Camera. My mom's favorite picture of her and my brother was taken with this Camera. It truly was a point and shoot.

[@NPJensen]

My first digital camera was the Powershot S50. It's very interesting how much they changed the layout of the buttons from the S50 to the S60. These days, I do prefer other compact camera options from the CCD era, but it was a nice camera to use.

[@GeorgeHolden]

Thanks for sharing!

[@goos4711]

Love the S line. Wished they continued it. They're quite the beast.

[@GeorgeHolden]

Yeah same!

[@cccycling5835]

This was my very first digital camera. Very nostalgic seeing it again.

[@derrenleepoole]

I think the take away point to make about shooting these older CCD cameras is that they encourage a more considered approach to getting a good exposure in camera, much like you would if shooting a film camera. I love the look of CCD sensors. The Pentax K10D has a wonderful sensor and is worth checking out if you can find one. I've just also got the Sigma DP1 with the Foveon sensor. Now that is a good sensor to check out.

[@GeorgeHolden]

Cheers Derren! Agreed they definitely encourage further consideration for ever image, something I enjoy more and more these days

[@dzulk9]

Resolution these days we take for granted. In 2010 I shot with 2004 camera Powershot A400 that has only 3 megapixels yet it produces fine print at A4! Yet nowadays we sometimes unsatisfied with 12MP, 20MP.....time has really changed.

[@GeorgeHolden]

Yep! I often think I need a 40MP camera when in reality I take a lot of pro images on 12MP for clients 😅

[@dzulk9]

@@GeorgeHolden yes! They can't see the difference in resolution if the picture you're taking is great! Also the pain of storing large MP files....

[@marcp.1752]

I've had them all. Canon PowerShot S30 up to S70. RAW, and a good lens.

[@GeorgeHolden]

That's great to hear!

[@omermagen824]

When I was a kid I used to take pictures with this camera on vacations. Loved it very much. Sadly it got stolen in a trip to Belgium. Sad day that was.

[@Samson1]

I have the S50, and it's epic. Immediately recognised the body from the thumbnail! I love the S50, but its battery is dead, and I'm buying a replacement some day.

[@frankartale1026]

I have the s45 and it is special. And shoots RAW.

[@vhsfilms5577]

I'm still shock how some old digicam have raw images, and some doesn't. Makes me think why is raw not a defult in every camera.

[@GeorgeHolden]

I think at the time some more consumer level cameras weren't intended for editing

[@GlennSchultes]

I have a Panasonic Lumix LX7 - they have RAW and Manual controls for F-stops too!

[@edshotsdotcodotuk]

It’s why raw isn’t the default on phones either. General public don’t want to edit their photographs to be able to use them.

[@bhume7535]

Because back in the day saving took forever and storing such large files were expensive. The average consumer probably isn't going to edit an image so why add it? It just introduces the possibility of consumers not understanding RAW and complaining that they don't get a decent amount of photos on an SD card.

[@nawshloryat7373]

I had one of these a few months ago. Unfortunately the sensor died within a couple of hours or use. After doing some research, I sadly learnt that it was a common problem back in the day and many other cameras using the same sensor should be used with caution too. Such a shame because the picture quality was amazing and it was a nice pocket camera.

[@GeorgeHolden]

That's a shame so far mine is okay!

[@danc2014]

Fyi the Sony 5 mp sensor was assembled with a glue base coating. The glue would fail and the sensor connection damaged, thus failing. Sony sensors were used on Canon Olympus and Nikon back then. There was a recall but most people just replaced the camera and did not know of the recall.

[@cameron8326]

What settings do you normally use when you are in manual mode regarding contrast, saturation and sharpness?

[@DarkTrapStudio]

I got one today (Fuji E510) shootting manual make photos so authentic, it really look like film (once edited especially) but in auto it lack the emotion, but I guess Its with every camera.

[@KamAdrian]

Do you usually shoot in a -1 EV and a higher contrast and saturation setting with the Custom Color feature?

[@leminh850]

I just found my dad's s60, any ideas to remove the SD card from the camera ?

[@film.fiasco]

I am really SO happy I bought this BEFORE you posted this video, since probably prices are going up hehe. Also, nice video maaan! I tagged you on instagram on a video I made with pictures taken with the Canon PowerShoot S70 😯!

[@GeorgeHolden]

Hahaha doubtful but glad you got one! Sorry been offline a bit recently but getting back to DMs tomorrow 👍

[@film.fiasco]

@@GeorgeHolden no preasure man :)!

[@Dirkmez]

Nice you have a Minolta X-700. Great camera I have one that was given to me by my parents.

[@greysuit17]

I have the Powershot a530 and it seems to be the same specs your showing. Looks like it cuts out some of the “pro” features like changing screen brightness, changing colors etc

[@GeorgeHolden]

Interesting! Does it have RAW?

[@greysuit17]

@@GeorgeHolden no I think it must be essentially the consumer model of yours. Same CCD sensor.

[@norfener]

Hi, I got the A630 which I bought in 2007 for £175.87. I've had some great photos out of it, but sadly there is no RAW capability. It does however have a 'Positive Film' mode in the 'My Colours' menu. I've just dug the camera out of the box and going to have a play.

[@larshansen7907]

It was my first digital camera. It was always in my pocket. Very good image quality. It gives very fine prints in A3 format. I mostly used the optical viewfinder. I would call the video function useless. Very low resolution. ISO from 50-400. At 400 ISO very poor quality. I think I mostly used 50 ISO. Very nice fill flash. I set it to -2/3 f-stop. Used it indoors with a window or an open door in the background with fine results. It compensated to some extent for the poor high ISO performance

[@GeorgeHolden]

Thanks for sharing!

[@amontekong]

The "best" camera is the one you're willing to take with you. I have pro stuff but love my compacts (Canon S90, Sony RX100, Canon G9, Canon SD1000, Panasonic Lumix LX3)

[@heikoh.schulz9429]

That was my very first digital camera- and I loved it! Small enough to fit in my jeans pockets. But powerful, all modes, RAW, .... I even added Cokin filters. I really loved it, unfortunatelly it died.

[@GeorgeHolden]

That's awesome but sad to hear it fied!

[@sosachamberlin]

do you know how to get the pictures to your phone?

[@heathenhereticharlot]

@@sosachamberlinthere are SD card readers for iPhone!

[@vedranr.glavina7667]

Super videos you make, MAN !

[@GeorgeHolden]

Thanks for sharing! Glad you like it!

[@PatrickDSimpson]

Is there any merit to pre-DIGIC processor Canon cameras being extra special? Cameras like the PowerShot G2, S30 and S40?

[@machinegunlament]

they're fun! that's all I can think of

[@grantmail4112]

Can you recommend a compact camera thats cheap and cheerful but good enough (even used on ebay) for taking pics of artwork from indoors up to size 36x24 inches.. so they are sharp enough to view online when zooming in... no need for the pics to be used to print these images from. Cheers.

[@thealignedlover]

Amazing video. The Mitchell and Webb bit got me hahaha.

[@sneakybones1400]

i bought one of this sadly i live in the Philippines i can't find any battery to buy its a second hand canon powershot s50 ive been wanting a camera for almost 3 years now

[@GeorgeHolden]

Sorry to hear that, they're a very common Canon battery so I hope you can find one somewhere

[@raymeedc]

I have the next version, the S70, almost identical physically, but a good bit better in every way ✅

[@GeorgeHolden]

That's awesome!

@@GeorgeHolden it surely is, im currently using it with the lowest mp. trying to get that low quality cam look 🤣

[@escuchemosrock]

Sorry for asking this, but what happened to the June 22 video giveaway? I have seen the video but there is nothing about the draw.

[@GeorgeHolden]

Hi! I posted a community post with an update - I had to return the new lens as it was faulty - so the giveaway rules are being announced July 6th instead. Thank you for your patience!

[@dj_lilchopp]

You have quite a few people knocking the digicam wave. It’s not for everyone. I recently bought a Canon SD1000 and I take it every where and stay shooting anything that catches my attention. Something I can’t say with modern digital cameras. I have a 35mm point and shoot but with how pricey film is getting, I save it for photos that are worth it. But I love digicams with a ccd sensor. I like messing with the positive film jpeg my canon has. If you’d like to see some video I shot on my sd1000, head over to my channel. Love the video btw

[@GeorgeHolden]

Thanks for sharing and simply agree!

[@machinegunlament]

literally same. switched to old digicams from old film cams bc film is not sustainable on my student budget lmao

[@georgianrooms]

Don't necessarily need CF card or reader. You can buy a CF to SD adapter...

[@brunoriffaldi]

good

[@bozoc2572]

The blown out highlights give it away immediately. But it's a decent camera for the price. Still I think, point & shoot 35mm film beats the digi-canon.

[@GeorgeHolden]

Film will always win!

[@Yosser70]

Maybe but you could buy one of these for the cost of a roll of film and developing.

[@diablito96]

Mmm, I don't see photos with a film look here but the camera seems fun, somehow..

[@davidelorenzi7306]

Awesome channel, mate! Beautiful contenents and you are a master of photography. One question , what's your thoughs about Sony HX10V ? Cheers

[@reeshmalms6686]

Eagerly waiting for the giveaway😌

[@GeorgeHolden]

Rules on the 22nd, still need to schedule the winner date but will include in that video 😄

[@brunoriffaldi]

nice

[@MikeRinz]

I have the SD1000/Digital IXUS 70 and jpegs are kinda meh, positive film is decent tho, but I'd only shoot RAWs with this camera and edit them to my taste, sooc jpegs come out a lot less detailed. And no, images don't really look like film straight outta camera. :)

[@joaocunha3546]

How do you config to shoot raw? Did you install a different firmware?

[@GeorgeHolden]

Thanks for sharing!

[@machinegunlament]

sd1000 can load CHDK, which means you can shoot raw_)))

[@pondcurtis9725]

It's a digital camera, not film.

[@_cameraboy]

Not sure how I feel about the term "Vintage Digital".

Hmm, they are not film photos, they are Digital photos but okay.

[@GeorgeHolden]

I do discuss the difference at the end of the video, next week I'm doing a direct comparison with film using the same shots

☝️🤓 "actually they are not film fotos..."

[@Maxhuertas]

@@GeorgeHolden I understand but they are not film fotos, they are digital fotos that you say “look like” “film” photos but whatever makes people happy I guess.

[@GiggyCash5]

@@Maxhuertasdo you think he doesn’t know that? Like genuinely, it isn’t hard to deduct there isn’t a film camera. It’s not literal.

[@Maxhuertas]

@@GiggyCash5 maybe he doesn’t cause in every new video a old digital camera somehow takes “film like photos”

[@PhoenixMoore]

I just... find it hilarious that this is a trend when they literally look like iPhone photos with a VSCO filter on them. Maybe because I grew up with these cameras that I can't see why this should be celebrated.

[@vinsensiusarik.p3928]
