What is your favorite camera to shoot with in 2024?? I just got a Panasonic LX100 and I've been having a blast with it!

[@kerc]

I have an LX100 and I agree, it's a fantastic camera! Definitely one of my favorites.

[@androgyne_sander]

Nikon D850

[@Toronado1986]

Ive been using a Nikon D40 Recently, I love the rich vibrant colors of a CCD sensor as apposed to CMOS. Its a wonderful camera to shoot with to this day and holds up in quality even 20 years after it came out!

[@Arcticfox7]

My newly acquired LX10. I love bringing it everywhere with me. Crazy macro shots with impossible angles. It wasn't possible with my 5d mk4 and 5 lenses that go with it.

[@zetorek83]

compact wise NIkon V1 then Z6II and D700 sometimes ZFC

[@kerc]

Well, just ordered that Lumix LX5. There's no damn way I could get a better deal on that model, and I trust Kevin 100%. This will be a nice companion to my LX-100. 👍

[@pricklypearcamera]

Got the order, thanks! 😊 Will get it shipped out first thing Tuesday as the PO is closed for a Holiday tomorrow.

[@SgtPnkks]

That nikon looks like it went on a few adventures... Probably took fun pictures Also how do you have my lx5? I have those exact same dead spots

[@pricklypearcamera]

😆 Sounds like we have twins!

[@Misdiasenelcerro]

Those lumix cameras are so beautiful

[@zePhilGoud]

I just love your videos, your voice is so soothing, and I love all the informations you give on models I dont know. I root for you everytime you test a camera. Thanks for you hard work

[@pricklypearcamera]

Thank you so much, that is quite kind!

[@casonmcleod625]

I picked up a Nikon AW130 in absolute perfect condition off eBay for $55 and I am quite a fan. The thing is a beast, I use it as my everyday pocket camera as its waterproof and shock resistant, plus its got several cool features for outdoorsy things. Pretty substantial zoom for such a small camera, and I've taken many many nice photos with mine. Ive seen them online at several price points and I still have no clue how I got mine for $55, but hey, I'm not complaining

[@pricklypearcamera]

Wow that's an amazing deal, glad to hear you're getting a lot of use out of it too!

[@billr6983]

Man that Nikon waterproof camera looks like it took on the hulk and lost! Amazing it still works! The Lumix camera is a beauty, it's a shame about the back panel. And for some reason I thought the little Sony DSC-W570 was a pretty little bauble. Probably because it's shiny and it appeals to thje magpie in me. lol Shame it has dust issues. Another fun testing video, great work!

[@pricklypearcamera]

😂Sure does! Some of the most beat up cameras I see are home inspector cameras as they use them so often in bad weather, get dropped, etc. maybe the case here? Appreciate it as always!

[@steveschnetzler5471]

I wonder what the oldest and newest camera you have come across? Always fun, thanks.

[@pricklypearcamera]

Oldest is probably a really cool old vintage Kodak vest pocket camera from WWI era around 1918, and the newest would be a Canon R100 Mirrorless kit that was just released in 2023.

[@ficklampa]

Seeing some of these older brands, it makes me wonder what happened to Schneider optics. Haven't seen that brand "flexed" on lenses for a while... Also, I wonder why Canon decided to name some of the smaller models Ixus here in Sweden, while in US they are branded with Powershot. We still had Powershot models, but they usually were reserved for the more fancier models.

[@pricklypearcamera]

Good question, hadn't really thought about Schneider, Samsung used their optics for quite a long time! I think the reason for the Canon name changes is to keep the cameras in their specific markets and reduce "grey market" cameras as they would have completely different models when you go from the US to Europe and vice versa. And I know their language menus at least for earlier generation cameras were pretty limited, so that might have had something to do with it too?

[@himeccms893]

Samsung and Kodak use the Schneider lens brand and both of them stopped making cameras some time ago.

[@ficklampa]

@@pricklypearcamera Yeah, I remember them being quite popular for a while among a few brands. The "grey market" I didn't even think about. That is probably it! I remember there was an influx of it for a while, from a reseller here. Canon ended up denying service/warranty on some expensive lenses because they came from a different region. That vendor did get burned from that, which is good. (They had to take care of the warranty themselves instead of just redirecting you to Canon).

[@ficklampa]

@@himeccms893 I remember that. But I doubt Schneider just disappeared the instant Kodak and Samsung stopped making cameras. I think I remember there being binoculars and stuff using their optics.

[@ZD30-ZF-9SPEED]

Hello everyone midnight

[@callingunclereviewsandtuto1949]

Have you ever gotten a Samsung wb350f? I have one in white and would like ideas what to do with it

[@pricklypearcamera]

Yep, I've sold a bunch of WB350's! Very solid camera. They had a recall I believe, as there was quite a bit of menu dial issues on certain production runs. It's worth around $100-125 without any mode dial issues in good working shape, if you were interested in selling it, otherwise, have some fun shooting with it! Nice optical zoom too!

[@GreySectoid]

Do you know what's the origin of these kind of used bulk camera crates, do some people make their living by collecting them and selling as-is condition or how do they end up in such big batches?

[@pricklypearcamera]

A lot of the times from my experience, the sellers will place untested or unknown condition cameras together, and when there is enough of them they will list them in a box or lot together. This is mainly the larger auction houses/liquidators/etc. Rarely do individuals have such large quantities unless they are selling a collection or the original owner passed away/etc.

[@redditsucksyo]

Nono, that is not ugly.. just a little patina :p

[@pricklypearcamera]

🤓

[@oldtimegamer2.098]

With good quality point and shot digital camera's I think most of them were good quality cameras but what I have been watching on KZbin about cheap cameras from Amazon most of them don't have good quality but I know I still have my old digital camera when I was a kid it is a GE 14.1 mega pixel point and shoot and it is still in good condition but just a bit of a battery hog

[@pricklypearcamera]

Yes, you're definitely right! These newer no name direct from China brands on Amazon offering 4k and 48 or 70MP cameras are just pretty much trash IMO. Cool to hear on your little GE camera! I've used the X400 and X500 as well as various GE C models a number of years ago

[@oldtimegamer2.098]

I still do enjoy my old camera with my other two camera I do own I do have a night vision camcorder but it is a cheap nock off camera and the other one is a Kodak prix pro but when at one point I have compared my two old cameras like the night vision to my regular GE camera on my own time the GE camera does have the better picture quality than my night vision camcorder

[@craigdoran6811]

If you want to see an ugly camera check out the olympus c5000. Boy its bad!

[@Suhaira-bt1iu]
