This $200 camera shoots infinite film like photos

The Canon G7x ii isn't considered a very serious photography camera. However, with all cameras today kinda being the same, and film cameras + film prices becoming outrageous, "vintage digital" might be coming up. This camera allows you to shoot close to film-like photos on a digital medium. Oh, and Fujifilm x100v . #fujifilmx100v Yes, this is just for the algorithm. Don't get that camera. It's too expensive.

I'm noticing people pointing out the price. Remember, I live in Japan....... Not everyone lives in Europe or the US😂　I don't lie in my vids. 1) I bought the camera for ¥33,000 yen used, approximately $200 2) There have been used listings in Japan for similar prices last month when I was making this vid. The market is too hyped up now, so things are apparently getting pricey. Be careful and find good deals over a longer time span :)

Bro, people don't know you live in Japan! You sound American or Canadian, and you specified $ in the video title. So people are going to assume you're talking about buying it with American and Canadian dollars lol.

I like the idea of just buying a camera and sticking to it for as many years as possible. I think if you can use the same camera for more than 10 years, you really master it and if you keep going a little longer, everyone else will have moved on from using that camera And you’ll have a unique style with equipment that other people can’t easily get any more. I think that’s the way to go.

I used to be really into big, powerful cameras with giant lenses up front. But after losing my passion for photography for a while, I feel like these subtle smaller cameras that you can tuck into a coat pocket or in your bag would really make me love photography again. The big cams will still be fun for more professional style shoots, but with a smaller one I feel like I'll be able to capture life's more meaningful moments!

I appreciate that you got this camera for $200, and great job on this video--but I think it's potentially misleading to prominently feature the price of the camera as you do in your title when it's so different from the going rate. For example, I know you "can" find a Leica M6 or a Contax T3 in a thrift shop for $5--but that doesn't make it a "$5 camera."

This ! This canon is priced at 400-500€ in french second hand market... Not exactly 200$

I think the point of the video was to use any older camera model which has imperfections (aka character). His Canon is just an example.

[@suspiciousstew1169]

@@Rabixter can confirm, this camera shoots very similarly to my original g9 from 2007 although when you increase the iso from anything above 400 the photos can have lots of noise. that tends to make you shoot using lower iso settings and getting darker and more rich and higher contrast photos. prices for it rn are like $50 so i would suggest checking it out before the fujifilm x100v fans get obsessed with it and make the price skyrocket

I bought this camera for my dad for Christmas 2020 but he ended up not wanting to use it. I don't know if I agree about it looking like film but there is definitely something special about the way this camera renders colors and also it is extremely versatile. I have gone on multiple international trips now taking only the G7X mk II and my Olympus 35 RC, two compact cameras, one digital and one film and have had no regrets when I used to regularly bring full size DSLRs with me everywhere I went. This combination works for me as someone who is primarily a street shooter, obviously it's not going to hold up for serious landscape photographers. But yes, this camera definitely has a pleasing character to its images that I have always loved.

[@therawrpie]

Hi I just want to come back and say this video changed my life. I already had a G7x ii lying around and I sort of neglected it for a long time to take videos because of my depression.

When you start buying cameras that everyone is using you will get photos that everyone is taking. When you buy cameras that nobody uses, you will start to take different photos. Good video!

I love this! I have started diving into street photography and definitely prefer less than perfect. In my search, I have unpacked a couple of older digital cameras from the early 2000's. The older cameras just have a unique vibe that modern cameras cannot deliver. Perfect exposure, ISO, etc., sadly, removes the magic from the photos I believe. Great video!

Really gives that point and shoot direct flash look that I love.

I've had this camera for a few years now. I shoot mostly with Fuji cameras and love them, but this Canon is an exception for me. Great performance in a small compact body.

This camera looks very interesting to me. I am getting on in years and was taught film photography in grade 9. In school we developed our own film, made contact sheets and then prints. My dad was a photo nut and had a darkroom in our basement where he also taught me to the entire process. We used mostly B+W Kodak Tri X 400 ASA film and printed 8x10 but we did experiment with Cibachrome colour film. One bonus was we also had a Russian Kirilian photography device acquired from a local college that didn’t want it anymore and I made many colour aura photos of my fingers and hands, leaves and small objects. Smell of ozone. I was about 12 when I started and did it for 5 years. I wish film and chemicals weren’t so expensive, still have the enlarger.

The secret is sensors with less megapixels….each of those megapixel are larger and there is more space between them on the sensor. This results in a unique color and worse ISO performance (which is what you want). I have a Nikon D50 that is APS-C and is 6 megapixels. It gives a classic old school look.

[@timoteiNitrogen]

Its completely other way around, more megapixels means more pixels per inch on a given sensor size, which gives worse high ISO performance. Of course when comparing sensors of the same era.

Really interesting comments there and a perspective I haven’t previously considered for a camera I’ve owned for four years. My initial purchase was motivated from the perspective of a very capable , inconspicuous camera for everyday use with my only regret being its lack of a seperate mic input jack. (As found in the ver iii model.) Currently on loan to a beginner I’ll be giving its images a rethink when it comes back !!😀

[@andyxmunoz]

I really love mine too. I've made a few pov street photography videos with it.

[@atflst6053]

Inspiring video, thank you!

[@olivernikander282]

i watched this video, i could not sleep cuz i just had to have the g7x mk2 after i saw the photos you took with it, and the next day i had to get it, and its been awesome. Thanks for getting me excited about photography again🙏🏼

Over the past month my feed has been bombarded with videos about the X100V, so much so that I'm convinced that I "need" one. To justify the purchase I blew the dust off my G7X II and am trying to see if I'm actually any good at still photography (I do mostly video). Well, as you might have guessed I was very impressed with the photo abilities of the G7X II, so much so that I'm now pretty satisfied that I already have a good still camera and can save the money I was going to spend on the X100V.

You could also get an older generation X100 series. I have an X100t I paid $500 for in 2018 that takes beautiful photos. I never tire of the fill flash and built in color profiles.

[@nunofarizo]

I switched from a g7x Mk 2 to a x100f and let me tell you. I couldn't be happier, the viewfinder, the color flexibility, the vintage feel.

[@oni5909]

so x100f better than this?

[@helmetboy431]

i mean if is fuji and like 1k

[@oni5909]

@@helmetboy431 yeah i’m not rich lol i think canon will do for now

[@nunofarizo]

@@oni5909 if you want a viewfinder, don't need zoom, and want a more capable camera that can be controlled in a fast manner, yes. The g7x has most controls via touchscreen

[@borgabear]

No shit it's 3x the price

[@rocklee619]

Holy snap, I never heard about this Canon camera before! Thank you so much for making this video. Love you 💜

[@olimpiu500]

i must admit, this was one of the Most pleasing video i Watch lately. Just with one video you made me to like and folow you. i enjoy your videos.

[@Havenotats]

Congrats on the reach this video is receiving! Much deserved ✨

[@saurabhsonic]

Wow - I feel like this video was a love letter to my Canon G7X Mk ii. A camera that I should have paid much more attention to than I have. I bought it for vlogging purposes - but never quite got into vlogging. So it just sat ignored. Until recently I picked it up again for photography purposes. It takes gorgeous photos. That Canon color science is just right for me. There's so much for me to learn and I think I'll be able to do that with this camera.

[@andyxmunoz]

I really love mine too. I've made a few pov street photography videos with it.

[@ArmandSalmon]

Very good point & observation here. I'm looking back at some of my point & shoot canon & Panasonic images from 2008-2012 era and they each have a distinct characteristics & imperfections that make a signature look.

[@conorfleckcreative]

Beautiful video, informative and inspiring.Thankyou for making it!

[@4saken404]

My favorite retro digital camera is the Fuji f30. It's a 6 megapixel from 2006. The sensor on it was just incredible and noise looked a lot more camera grain like than with nearly anything else even from 10 years later. My biggest personal gripe was that it was only a 36-108mm lens and I like to widen back to at least 28mm. Otherwise I might consider trying to find one again. Even the original one I had I bought years after it came out and it still held its own. Unlike with many other cameras you could zoom in to 100% and pixel peep and the image would still hold up great.

[@jcarter7456]

what a sophisticated video. nice job

[@Rawnchie14]

Neat - I bought this camera way back as a video first camera, and now seeing this I'm intrigued to get it back up and running to see if I see similar results.
