Another cool little camera to look out for Ali, is the Fujifilm e-900. It's a compact camera from 2006. Has the Fujifilm Super CCD sensor, Sharp Len's, and above all it has a small (very small) built-in viewfinder. Nice retro looking too. I paid £8 for mine! Regards Dan.
Thanks Ali - it's a great day when one of your video reviews lands. Your thoughts on this digicam are fascinating. Amazing how much you are able pick up in 2 weeks of using each camera. Enjoy Prague - such a beautiful city!
If you have dead or hot/stuck pixels in a camera, look for a menu option for "Pixel Mapping" (Olympus, FujiFilm, Pentax, Nikon, really new Sony cameras) or "Pixel Refresh" (Panasonic) to automatically map them out. Different manufacturers added this to their cameras at wildly different times.
This was my first digital camera bought in Adelaide in 2005 to go travelling as i soon ran out of space for all the 35mm film!! Loved it, and still pick it up from time to time. The macro feature is crazy you can get soooo close.
This was my first decent digital camera which I bought in 2005 and used especially for travelling in Australia in 2006. It was a neat looking camera, almost retro, produced great colours and was a joy to use. Sadly, the zoom mechanism broke after a few years but I still have it sitting on a shelf.
You have to visit the Jan Pazdera camera shop in Prague. The most amazing camera store in Europe. Foto Skoda on the same street is a great place as well.
Hi Ali, Could you inform me please, if you know where the 750Z can be bought, because I have not been able to find it in UK or on eBay UK and worldwide? Really appreciate your work in your videos, and please keep it up.
04:37 just for clarification. First compact prosumer camera with 24mm wide angle lens was released in 2007. It was Ricoh GX100. A superb camera with 24-72mm lens and b&w jpegs.
haha...after posting a few of my old DP1 New York shots on Insta, I pulled out my OG DP1 (yes, I have the DP1M now too)...and I forgot how TINY it is. The manual focus wheel is still one of the best...Funny, maybe the most "iconic" OMTC image (the stove) is with a camera that didn't give you romance :P
Oh, THE Digital Zoom Spotmeter camera! The minimum focus distance at the telephoto end is also very nice.... Suppose you have two batteries. When you change the MAIN battery, I think you need to do so within 10 seconds. No, I am not talking about the internal battery, but the main battery.
@@OneMonthTwoCameras In that sense, we can say the design of Canon Powershot Pro 1 is excellent. (The coin battery...) Having said that though, the telephoto close up capability of Pentax 750Z is absolutely fantastic....
Enjoy your visit to Prague. Another interesting camera. Would you say you have taken more photos with this one compared to others? I have certainly noticed a lot more on IG. But that might be just me. Thanks again.
I took quite a few as I had it a bit longer than some of the other cameras I reviewed. I also really wanted to bid with it but it didn’t totally click. But I do love the results.
Just got mine today. It also made that horrendous screech. I shook the camera a bit while turning it on and off and now I don't have the screech anymore!
As you mentioned correctly this camera has indeed an internal battery holding the user settings (much Like other cameras which hold the Date there so you have to set it everytime you are turning it on). But dont bother changing these... It was a grim time doing so ;).
It's funny how we sometimes can't pinpoint why we like or dislike a particular camera. The 750Z is not a particularly attractive looking digicam... that would be enough for me not to take it out of the house regardless of its features/performance. I know, shallow but true.
Interesting. I have to say I am on the opposite side of the spectrum - I typically could care less what the camera looks like. If anything, the weirder the better :P
What digital camera would you recommend that without hardly editing the photographs can obtain a result similar to analog 35mm cameras? greetings from Spain
I guess maybe, juuuuust maybe.... the Pentax 750Z may be too consistent. I mean the camera may give us consistent results every time we shoot... And maybe we may not be able to tell, oh, yeah, this is the photo taken with the Pentax 750Z.... The image quality is good, but nothing unique. Some cameras deliver, hmmmmm, that's it? really? kinda sorta image quality most of the time. But those cameras time to time give us wow!!!! pictures. And for some unknown reasons, we love those inconsistent cameras/lenses (eh, say, some Panasonic Leica lenses).

Thank you Dan! I do in fact have the E900 though I haven’t shot with it nearly enough. Thanks for the inspiration to pick it up and exercise it!

Thank you Cliff!
So many great little early digiicams out there on the cheap. Pentax was really on top of things.
They really were

Thank you so much! I just went as a result of your tip and got 3 cameras!
@@OneMonthTwoCameras Brilliant. I usually come away from that place with armfuls of cameras. What did you get?
@@stevenfennell7020 I picked up a Fuji s5 pro, Olympus d400 and an Olympus c70 😍

It’s nice to discover such a hidden gems thanks to your reviews….
Thank you for watching!
Got me one of those today. Charging battery now. Tomorrow we hunt!
Oooo best of luck!!

Very true. It just wasn't all that common from my memory on consumer compacts until a bit later.
Hopefully we'll treated to some gorgeous photos of the Danube and amazing night-time shots from the bridges.
I hope so too! Here working but I plan to get out some still :)

Holy moly 15 hour flight !!
It was a long one 😂
Loud lens motors are part of that Pentax charm 😂
So true "P

Glad you enjoyed it!
@@Scottthewoz371 whoopee thankyou 😁
I love my dp2 quattro so much. Sigma said they might have a new foveon sensor ready by the end of the year?? I'm holding my breath omg
Goodness I would be over the mooooon!
Nice camera with special design
Lovely
@@Scottthewoz371 what?
Another great review.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for not using pan and zoom effects on photos! I find them distracting when viewing images

How odd!!

Good to know!
what is the maximum price we can put on this camera your opinion ? thanks ! I love your channel 🤩
I’ve been looking all over for this camera. What would you suggest as an alternative to the 750Z?
If you are ever interested in thinning the herd and selling this one, let me know. I absolutely love it.
Be sure to visit the old jewish cemetery while in Prague; it's very interesting and photogenic (at least when I was there before Die Wende).
Thank you for the tip! I’ll check it out.
Hello! How do you charge this digi cam?
It's funny how we sometimes can't pinpoint why we like or dislike a particular camera. The 750Z is not a particularly attractive looking digicam... that would be enough for me not to take it out of the house regardless of its features/performance. I know, shallow but true.
I choose a lot of cameras based on their external design. Not all, but most. An appealing design aesthetic is important to me.

Fuji xpro3 but it's not cheap
This video is great and all..but where to I actually buy the camera? I cant find it anywhere and it doesnt even pop up on ebay.
Here’s one: www.ebay.com/itm/304505089259?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=swVyD0CfR5u&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=SSDWkW-7RG6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Please straighten those horizons they give me the heebie jeebies 😢
Ha!
Damn my dad has one, I'm gonna take it and see what can I do with it.
Fantastic!!

Yeah it’s so subjective at the end of the day
Is it just an American model? Was a similar model made in Europe?
I'm fairly certain this was also sold in Europe?
I've found panasonic lumix lx7 for $100. Is it worth it? I am glad if someone can help. thx
I've unfortunately not tried the LX7 but believe they changed to a CMOS sensor after the LX5 if that makes any difference to you.
Detroit is so rough and unsafe. Prague must be another world in comparison...
I have to say I never felt unsafe in Detroit but I wasn’t there long at all. I’ve been to Prague before and love it so feel very at home here.
since i’ve found this channel i already got myself 2 digicams bc it’s so fun 🥹🤍 thx for making all these vids!
Aww I'm so glad you're enjoying!!
