It's still staggering to me how much technology has improved. I bought a video camera around the year 2000 for $1,200 that made videos that looked way worse than the videos that toy creates. It's crazy.

[@OMA2k]

​​​​​​​@@Balkor: VHS video was even worse than this $9 toy 480p camera. It was like 240i (interlaced, so really half resolution, like about 120 alternating lines, and with lots of artifacts because it was analogue). Disclaimer: My numbers are probably not accurate. 😅

as fun as it is to poke fun at the kids camera, I am still just in awe of how great the low quality cameras have gotten from 10 years ago...

Challenge and tension, perfectly mixed and presented :D

[@DanDanDoe]

Yeah I’m actually amazed at how good the video quality is for an unbranded $10 toy camera. It’s not bad and it has a nostalgic charm, reminds me of the cheap digital cameras of the early 2000s and early (smart)phone cameras.

[@IanZainea1990]

10:51 I probably would have just used the jump cut. Have some digital corruption happen and then you move location. Or use that digital corruption to cut to the shot with the lights on, but graded dark, to explain away why it looks a little different, and then do the same to cut back to the good take.

The fact that this camera looks better than bank security cameras💀 Edit: y’all it’s not that deep

because security cameras are meant to record 24/7 and save every single second of it

[@F4PhantomGaming]

this comment just shows that you know nothing about cameras

[@sggsquadpresents]

Could be solved by adding more harddrives or scheduling wipes for the drives. No need for color, all that is needed is clearer footage. Make a camera shoot video in 720p at 24 FPS (The same framerate as most movies), give it 12 Terabytes of HDD Storage and schedule the wiping of the oldest footage after reaching a certain threshold and complete wiping after a week. As a matter a fact, raw 2K footage for a week / 168 hours is around 5TB which can fit on a 12TB HDD

[@Graxu132]

@@F4PhantomGaming It's 2024, banks can easily invest in better cameras and high storage capacity for cheap. Not only that, even if they need to record 24/7, they can easily schedule a wipe of the old video footage that they will NOT need. We are not in the 1900' anymore, where bank robberies were a daily occurrence in some places, nor do they need to keep tap on every person that comes in and out. Shops record 24/7 since people are stealing stuff from them daily and yet, they have better video quality than banks.

Normally with these cams you can set time or remove the watermark by creating a file in the SD card named "time.txt" - or similar - and set it's contents to the time you wan't the camera to been set after you turn the camera on the next time. It should have the following format: "2024.07.29 12:08:00 N". N means removing the watermark.

I would have LOVED something like that as a kid! I always wanted to make movies. Currently putting together a short film to a classical piece written by a composer friend so it all worked out. Back in the early 90s though a big shoulder-carried VHS camera was your only option and it cost thousands of dollars so I had to make do with still photography. I guess that at least helped me learn composition, lighting, and how to use color.

The fact a camera that good is less than $10 is nuts. I'm old enough to remember the first digital cameras. I used to play with my grandfather's camera that could take vids or pics, and saved them to a floppy disk.

[@theoriginaljimmykicker]

@@fixman88 I used to work out at gym by my house that was 24 hours. Around 1996 I think it was? The owner had video cameras and a touch pad for people to get it. The cameras were to make sure the folks that came in were the folks that paid and that he wasn't getting ripped off. Nice guy. He had one of those Mavica. He took the picture and it saved it to floppy disk. That shit blew my mind. The first time I'd ever seen a digital picture of myself. Ever. I remember him telling me how "not cheap" it was.

[@sketchyunicornslab]

It is fun to watch videos like this where, you get to watch a creator grow. Challenges like these where you get to challenge yourself, and figure out ways to overcome the obstacles, is usually what improves and creates better creators. To relate to your mention with the concern of having the best gear, and now learning that it isn't always about the gear. Many people who buy the best gear to learn with, lack in skill and often will miss many skills that you get when you go through the struggles of lesser gear or cheaper gear. Those struggles help in professional environments or even when issues arise. To be able to watch someone challenge themselves, see how they over came it, and see the result, is awesome. Not only helpful for others learning, but it is cool to watch someone themselves, bloom a little more than before. Nice work!

[@archieil]

There are definitions for Full HD and HD Ready. HD has many options (High Definition is more defined but HD was not used just for High Definition) as a few standards were using it but in general HD means higher resolution than normal resolution and it is probably camera from times when web cams and cheap cameras had resolution of 320x200. It is an old piece of hardware or just someone was copying description from older camera. In tech if it is for kids it is a junk most of the time unfortunately. // I assume this camera can do stills at 1080p (or marketing was too young) and 640x480 videos which is still better than VHS and comparable to old cameras using MiniDV. HD could even be connected to compression rate. LD/SD/HD never had standard meaning till FHD when expected options were severely limited.
