A box of APS and digital point and shoot cameras - episode 1 reviewing the Canon Powershot A70

As followers of my channel know, I like experimenting with different odd cameras, and as I got a box of older digital compact point&shoot cameras and some APS film based cameras for next to nothing, I was fired up to make some tests with these old and technically outdated cameras. The box contained 21 cameras, 12 of which I couldn’t get to work, but the rest I will be reviewing here on my channel - if they don’t stop to work before I have reviewed them :-)
In this first episode of this series I’ll be the Canon Powershot A70, a 3.2 megapixel camera with a small sensor, but to my liking a CCD sensor, the output of which I often like very much. This camera is the oldest in the box - apart from the APS film cameras, and we’ll see if it’s possible to make good images or artistic images with this camera. I’ll also - now that I’m also into printing (doing an exhibition soon) - do a print test, to see how large you can print images with such a low resolution.

my wife bought new, back in 2016, a Canon PowerShot SX720H which she still uses regularly today, and I'm ashamed to say, still takes "better" shots than me, with my top of the range modern gear. She's creative, I'm not - another story ! Thanks for this video Bo. Great so watch

Very enjoyable and some good images from this Canon model.

Thanks, yes it is surprising how good images you can make with such a totally outdated camera. I love this kind of constraints, as it forces you to be creative. And I hope to inspire others to choose NOT to buy all the newest stuff. Find some old cameras, create nice images with these, and become a better photographer.
