Best Film Camera Under $60?

[@Jazzy_Waffles]

My dad used to work for Noritsu and would service and train people on the old film developer machines. He passed back in 2005, and hearing somebody say Noristu, like you did, made me happy. I have lots of memories playing around with those old developers.

[@dimitrijekrstic7567]

I don't know if you saw it, but it seems a lot of people loved your comment. The look these cameras achieve is itself really nostalgic for me, even though I'm only 24 and never really lived through their main era (at least not when I was old enough lol)

[@chrisclark5135]

Love these! I would love for these to be a series on the channel. Grab a camera from any online marketplace and go do some street with it. Also, nothing beats the way the sky looks on film. Thanks for sharing!

[@moment]

Great idea Chris and glad you enjoyed! Yea, the sky and skin tones on film 👍

[@PabloRVasquez]

This is the most underrated point and shoot. Bought mine for like $30 a few years back and been using it all the time with cheap film stocks; Gold, Colorplus and Ultramax. Enjoy Caleb! 🙌🏼

The very first non-disposable camera i bought was the kodak m35 lol, but what I've been using lately is the olympus trip xb 401 and the minolta x303si. I've been meaning to develop and scan my own photos hope I can do it soon!!

This is the exact camera my dad had late 80's and early 90's, and shot a ton of family pictures! It's been stored for almost 2 decades now, but I recently bought some Portra 400s and a new battery, and I will be giving it some new life very shortly :) Very glad I found your video, it was exactly the motivation I needed!

Amazing camera. But sold mine as it was too hard to see the difference between these and the results of my digital camera. It's that good. Almost as good as an Olympus MJU2. But it is also a little too big. I usually take a pentax Espio or Pentax PC35AF with me. The PC35AF is smaller, quieter, a little slower, but also sharper and the espios are much smaller and more versatile with the zoom they have. Nice scanning tutorial! Thank you.

When white balancing the film you have to click on the film base (the orange space between the frames) not the black part of the film carrier!

[@theadventuringzebra]

Thanks for this! I've been shooting on an Olympus Mju i for about a year and although I love it, the autofocus sucks and it's gotten quite annoying since film isn't cheap. I am going to pick one of these up on eBay and give it a try.

[@sauravbasu8805]

In the Indian market, there was a Point and Shoot camera Canon Prima BF800 around 2001. A glass lens of 28mm, it had great sharpness and fine colour rendition. Like in Rangefinder cameras, the rendition was sharper than film slrs, probably for the reason that the film plane was closer to the lens, the lens was a prime one with few elements , and the max aperture was a low one.

[@param2014]

good to see indian film enthusiasts.

[@deBrawnyo]

​@@param2014it's hard since there aren't many film developing studios left and also the availability of analog cameras is kind of fickle. For many hobbyist photographers the expenses and the overall inconvenient nature of film most of the times outweighs the enjoyment of shooting film.

[@neilpiper9889]

I have an Olympus Af1 Infinity with the super sharp 35mm f2. 8 lens. I got it for £15. Love it.

[@pdtech4524]

Great little point and shoot, I just picked up a Pentax AF zoom 60 for £5 including an original Pentax strap and case, it's mint as well. I'm hoping it's going to be as good as my Olympis mju II zoom 170 I just reluctantly parted with, everyone has their price and the £180 I was offered for it was just too tempting, still it only cost me £10 👍😳😁

@@ptnnnnn Great camera, you'll not regret it, the images it takes are stunning! It's not the best looking or most compact and it feels a little bit 'plastic' but it does the job and that is all that matters.👍 Easily as good as the olympus in my opinion.

Seriously you go through all that hassle to produce an image? I send my roll to a lab in Cali and get back great prints.

[@richardt1792]

That's a great point and shoot. Really, if you compare it to the Yashica T4 that is selling for at least $400, its lens is a full stop faster that the T4 and at 38mm, it is roughly the same focal length. Your Canon Sureshot is quite a bargain. Its a little chunkier than the T4 but you buy a point and shoot to carry instead of a heavy, mostly metal SLR. I am a bit of a collector but I don't have a Canon Sureshot. My collection started when people were going digital and all kinds of cameras were showing up at thrift stores on the cheap.

If you underbid, why bid 49.99 instead of 50.00? There's a reason 49.99 is used by stores: to trick your brain it's less. You don't want your seller to think that.

It's a lovely camera, the 2CR5 doesnt work for a lot time, mine work for like a year, and the flash disable button are almost unable to use if you dont have long nails, the shutter button can be wrong, but easily fixable, mine costs me like 10 bucks, and it's my fav p&s!

[@SgtPnkks]

This camera is basically the direct descendant of the af35m and af35m II... Just moving towards the more "modern" style design and using dx coding The two biggest flaws in this camera are 1. Whoever came up with the idea for how to disable the flash should be smacked upside the head with a rolled up magazine 2. The conductive paint on the shutter button on many of these tends to be worn to the point that the shutter button can be very difficult to press... Can be easily fixed or you can use the self timer button as your half press then press the shutter button to take the photo

[@terrencesamonte2623]

Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm just getting started with film. But, if you're shooting the negatives on the film strips using your DSLR to digify it doesn't that defeat the purpose of shooting on film for the look. Basically, if the photo you took of the negative on that film strip was blurry then when you add it into lightroom the image would be blurry. So you wouldn't actually be seeing the quality from the point and shoot. Someone, please help me understand.

[@panelsandbars]

All scanners do is capture an image of your negative. DSLRs are doing the exact same thing. Capturing that image and allowing you to then import it to Lightroom or your editing software of choice. There’s no right or wrong way, just whatever makes your workflow easier/more comfortable for you!

[@CrunchyFingers]

Using a macro lens with a digital camera would give you better results than many dedicated scanners! As panels and bars mentioned any digitizing method is basically using a digital sensor and a lens combo to capture the image.. drum scanning might be the only exception but that a totally different ball game.. as for taking a blurry scan, well yeah you should double check your focus otherwise it’s a bad scan..
