The fact that the webcam still doesn't look that bad says a lot of the state of modern webcams

[@OttosTheName]

yeah webcams haven't been developed in the last 5+ years. Apart from some streamer cams. There's just no market for it, so any 50 dollar phone will make better video than a 50 dollar webcam.

It's weird, we know tiny cameras can be good because of phones, but even premium laptops usually come with absolute garbage, Y2K video quality cameras. I guess anything to save a buck or two.

@@23Scadu People will get a different phone for better pictures, but not a different laptop I think. So they don't put in the money. They've put so much money into phone camera software... Even high end camera's don't get that impressive software. If I want good lighting in difficult situations from my Fuji X-T3 I need to shoot raw and lift the shadows and bring down the highs. A phone just does it automatically. It's crazy, but only the phone market is big enough to warrant the expense.

Before getting a Digital Camera I used a camcorder and a TV capture card to put a pictures into emails. When I finally bought a Digital Camera in 2002 I went for a £400 3MPixel Canon. The video was still "hot garbage" compared to VHS though. @Dee_Just_Dee. Cameras always used to come with those really small cards.

Back in this era of digital cameras I was working as a marketing manager for a real estate company, meaning I handled their print, online, and mail marketing. Agents were always some of the earliest adopters of digital photography, for the obvious reasons. This video brings back nightmares of importing 320p LQ, out of focus photos from agents who wanted to use it for half-page spreads in tomorrow's local paper.

[@neuronic85]

I'm sure it wasn't easy getting them to spend the money on a fancy Cybershot, which at the time was phenomenal for a point-and-click. I know an agent who used his dreadful Mavica until 2009. I tried to sell agents on the benefits of SLRs for years, but only persuaded one. And of course most have moved to Apple/Samsung phones now.

[@ffwast]

My mother got hers back then to use as a tax assessor. It used floppy disks,so she could stop using polaroids.

[@Schmootle]

@@neuronic85 Absolutely. We had one agent who ended up making more money shooting properties for other agents with his early digital SLR than he made selling houses. There was also the awkward film to digital transition where it was still easier and better to send actual photos to the ads than upload. To be sure, this was still the era where agents were printing emails to take home to read, and people used to tag their emails "consider the trees before printing this email"

@@LGR Well, since you archived the drivers if there is demand they can be reverse engineered and an open source driver written for pretty much any operating system under the sun.

@@LGR I take it it _can't_ just show up as a generic USB webcam and a generic USB mass storage device, then? Though I suppose given the date, were generic drivers for _either_ a thing in Windows 98 yet? Still, cool to look back on your first digital camera like that! And also an excellent case of "the best camera is the one you have with you". 😎

@@TheRagingSerpent Sad thing is it won't be in demand enough given there's like, 3 listed on the whole ebay rn. You might can count on someone writing the driver for it along with similar cameras(like that one time VueScan wrote modern driver for a ton of old film scanner accidentally making all of them useable for free with their own official software as long you installed the trial version of Vuescan), which is a one time off thing.

Man I didn't get to use webcams cameras too much as a boy and looking back now with a video like this, it's crazy to think back at how quickly technology changed in general. One year it seemed like people were still getting their photos developed, the next people had digital camcorders and then smartphones were the hot thing before I even knew what was going on. If the world had somehow never moved on from using cameras with film rolls I think I would have been okay with that. It's so nostalgic.

11:00 Those riffs! I love it.

Cool! That Intel thing rocks. Period correct pictures, good contrast, good colour. I had a Trust 100 Mobilec@m that was not as good as that Intel thing, but hey, it took pictures and shot "videos", and I absolutely loved it. I also have quite the library of 640x480 pictures made with it. Good times!
