Dude, just stumbled across your channel and have been binging the hell out of it. The way you find this stuff in thrift stores is unreal, here in Australia there’s no way you could get a MJU for under $100. You honestly can’t get many point and shoots for that cheap in general unless they’re broken

Oh my god I know right! Australia is so expensive for any camera stuff, if you can find it that is. I’m so jealous of America 🇺🇸 I went once and got so much cool stuff in thrift stores. Aus does have other benefits though like free health care. 👏🏻
@davidkelso96122 жыл бұрын
@@LucyLumen You absolutely can!! especially the point and shoots, just got an olympus for $3..... Tip is 'not' to go into Vinnies, Salvos and other mainstream thrift shops. Go to the ones that sort their own donations and don't know the cost of the items. Most charity shops these days are centrally sorted and know how much these cameras are worth. There is an AE1 program in my local shop for $10 now.

Idk if u still need this info or if he already made a video on it (I'm farely new to this channel ) I've recently got into film cameras and actually bought 3 in a second hand shop and I made a few mistakes so ... one thing to look out for which seems obv but I failed to recognise is to look if the battery cap is there and general things like if somethings smashed etc if it's something small easy to fix it should work though. I'd also recommend to look up good film cameras online to get a bit of a feeling and search up some good brands canon, nikon being the obvious lol Definitely check the inside where'd u put the film into and if u have WiFi access u can just look the camera up (that would be the easy way lol) and other than that I'd say it would be good to know if u want a smaller (point & shoot ) or a slr camera Bringing batteries would be a good idea so u can try it out but some cameras require lithium batteries ( but I'd bring some normal batteries anyways cause u never know what u will find!) That's all I know at the top of my head, hope it helped if u even needed this after so much timexD
