I am primarily a film photographer but have become more and more interested in digicams the last few months. I have set myself a challenge to give up film for a whole month and only shoot digicams! In this video I give a little update on the cameras I have been using and some sneak peeks of the photos. More digicam content coming in October!

Aw I love the G2 shot sneak peek!! Cant wait to see more and so thrilled you’re enjoying it ❤
Thank you for sending it Ali and thank you for inspiring so many of us with your awesome channel! ❤️❤️❤️
You said the optical view finder on the g2 wasn't that bad.how would you rate it? I have the g12 and it is completely unusable.otherwise it's my current favorite camera.id like to try others in the series but o.v. is a big priority for me.
You're last few digicam videos have inspired me to give them a try! I pick up a few and have been spending a week with each to see which I like best.
Very cool! I can't wait to see more of this challenge! Also, Happy Early Birthday!! :)
I love the old Fuji digital cameras. The JPEGs straight out of camera are so good. I use the native black and white a lot on my XT-1.
I just ordered the strap and peak design! Thanks Lucy!
This video is so fun! I loved hearing about all of the different kinds of digicams. It totally cheered me up tonight.
Hey Tiffany! Thank you so much for watching and letting me know how much you enjoyed it. Digicams are so fun I think you would enjoy using one and make great work with them!
Omggg love your take on digicams! Great video and very excited for more digicam content :)
Ohh thank you so much 😊 can’t wait to share all my digi adventures soon! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Thanks to inspiration from you and Ali… September has been my digicam month. I really love the results from my thrifted Nikon CoolP P7000. That CCD makes some sweet colors! 😊
So glad to hear you are also embracing digicams for the month! Thanks for watching Larry!
Canon G2, my 2nd digicam (after a 2 mpx Kodak)... Bought it new at B&H ny, still have it, still use it, LOVE IT!
Great vid Lucy! And amazing G2 pics on Patreon! ❤👍 32MB memory card is so cool… less is more!
Such a fun selection of digicams! I have a few digicams and camcorders in my basement that you've inspired me to try to dig back out.
Thanks my love! Would love to see you use some vintage digi gear!
G2 previews look fantastic. I've recently been going through old family boxes and found some old film cameras to add to my collection but also digicams. One I'm really enjoying that I found came out in 2009 but is super cool, the fuji fine-is f200exr it's hitting all of my compact needs and it's super small. Kind of making me consider selling off my film compacts tbh.
Wow, can't wait to see your Digi photos next month, I'm sure there will be some Bangers in there.
Thanks Alex! Hopefully I’ll have some bangers to share 🙋🏻♀️🙏🏻
I recently bought a Powershot G5 myself and it came with no charger. Remebered I had one of these universal chargers in a drawer from when I forgot the original during a holiday. It works very well for me and I'm glad I held on to it!
Love the Fuji X20 as well! I sold mine a year ago and indeed made a good profit having bought one over 6 years ago. It was a gourgious camera to use and now I regret I sold it 😪
Great video, hoping to see more photo film walks content really think they stand out and great to see how the images turn out as opposed to digital photography 😊
Hey 👋🏻 don’t worry we will be back to film very soon and def want to share more photo walks it’s just a lot of work to film them and more time consuming. Thanks for watching
Loadad BP-511, got a new CR2018 battery and took my G2 out for a walk in Berne 🇨🇭. Love those CCD's. Also have a Leica M8.2 an a M9 with CCD too. Thanks for yr video!
Got the g2 a couple years back from my granddad. I bought new batteries and a cf card but then never really used it because I didn’t take it as a serious camera. Now that the digicam trend started and after seeing your shots, I‘m really glad I held onto it and will now start using it again :)
I had a G2 way back in the day. It was my first real Mirrorless Digital camera, in fact it was my 1st digital camera. For some reason I traded it off as I moved into the DSLR world but did finally replaced it with a G11. I still have that one so maybe I'll have to break it out again as my walk around camera.
I got a Canon Powershot G2 as well! It actually makes some decent images for being so old. I haven't gotten it out to shot yet but I plan to use it at some point.
Hello. Changing the battery to remember the time and settings is very simple; you don’t need to disassemble the camera. remove the battery and on the inner wall of the shaft, on the side of the buttons, you will see a tightly inserted corrugated cover. pull it out and it will slip out - there will be a cr2016 battery inside, they are always sold in stores.
Lovely looking forward to all the reviews. The old digital camera world is very interesting and varied. I got couple of high quality Ricoh gr equivalent cameras in Fuji xf10 and Nikon coolpix A. Now exploring old dslrs like Canon5d and Nikon ones.
Thanks for watching lovely! Yea the older dale’s are also so great and so capable still!
My oh my I had no idea the Fuji X20 even existed that thing looks amazing! Fuji really is amazing at making their cameras look good. Especially the X series. I have an old X100s-which is similar to the X20 I think, maybe like an older brother or sister of that camera. Also loooove the X-T4, but also only shoot video on it. It's so great for mounting old lenses. Looking forward to the digital adventures Lucy! And hope your 30th is a good one!
You should definitely check out some of the great crop of fixed focal length, large format sensor digicams out there. Super simple, great lenses + great sensors and super focused (no pun intended) and opinionated as cameras go. Some favorites in this class: Nikon Coolpix A, Ricoh GR, Fuji X100. Would be a fun genre to give a go!
Please review the G9! Love your content and your photography.
Video @ 6:38 - "Hey. I thought this was Lucy Lumen's analog" - Well to get a little technical, these early CCD sensor digitals have electronic *A-D converters (Analog to Digital converter)... - - - Hummm, that means that it's still Lucy Lumen's Analog Adventures...
* Like a vinyl record going into a digital output : "Digitizing your record collection is a great way to take some of the warmth of analog music with you on the go. Plus, you can enjoy your vinyl without the risk of scratching or wearing them down."
Looks like Queensland. I used to live on the GC. Just bought a powershot G9, can't wait to test it. Love the channel. Cheers from Norway❤
I just made a vlog about digicam! So obsessed with the photos I got from them ☺️ I’m using canon powershota520
I have the G6, you should try to get one! Last true digicam from canon!
Give a pancake lens a try on the X-T4. I am using a 27mm pancake on my X-M1 and it is a joy to use, and fits in my hoodie pocket.
Amazing amazing Lucy 😊 great video and amazing pics 📸
I bought this camera new, I ended up selling it. I really regret getting rid of it. I now have the Canon G12 which I love. A canon A590is which is a small great camera and I leave it on auto. Also have Olympus 5060wz which I bought new. This camera is amazing and I love the pics, also the Macro function. I found my Fuji Finepix Z2 in a drawer and it still works, and is so small. I bought a new Canon M50 MK II and have set it up for macro. But now I carry the G12 everywhere. Great channel.
That’s great that you’ve decided to take that digital step in MegaPixels. Fuji is my love for film like photography especially B&W’s. I own a fuji X100s & I would never let that go. Another I just had to own was the Nikon D70. Why?! Since I love film, the D70 produces that true film like quality photo’s. Just some food for thought for your journey. Hey, nice talking to ya! Take care. Love, CaVera
I see what you mean about the design of the G2, but then again my C330 or my friends RB weren’t exactly svelte either, even for their time.
Nice channel. I also have a multi battery charger and mine have worked fine. It has not damage any battery. Had it for bout 8 years.
I am an oldie so I started out shooting on a digicam back in 2003 and I very soon started shooting film! cause I think film looked better.. I just got some digicams, a Nikon CP5000 from the same area as the Canon G2. It is slow and all that but I love it. And some others. Using digicams bring back something I lost along the way in my photography, at least for the moment, and it really make me feel different about my "modern" cameras.
Hello 👋🏻 thank you for watching and glad to hear the battery charger hasn’t caused any damage!
I agree film is the best but these digicams are really fun and rocked a film like experience if you can get something like this G2! Have a great day 🙋🏻♀️
Ayer me compré mi primera DigiCam es una Lumix DMC fs12, a s/130 soles en CC Polvos Azules (av. Argentina 344 - stand E24). Son cámaras reparadas, te las dan con mínimo 3 meses de garantía a más meses dependiendo la cámara, y el chico que me atendió fue suuuuuper paciente. Me hizo probar todas sus cámaras en stock. Súper recomendado si están en Lima ❤️.
I bought the G2 brand new for about $650. Still have it and it started my love of digital photography.
The film simulations on Fuji are fun. Look if you can film sim in bracketing mode (one picture several film simulations). Enjoy!
Really great cams. I just switched back to the LX2. Great underrated LUMIX btw 😅
You and Ali have inspired me. You should try the Olympus c5060.
And please use the XT4 more. It’s the one camera I am saving up for right now. I love Fuji’s colour processing. And I’m sure you’ll get great pictures with it.
Xt4 is amazing, for both photography and videography
Awesome video, love these old digicams. Working on my own collection as a supplement to film. Also, just found your channel. Instant sub. Cheers
Yay! This is lovely to hear thank you 🙏🏻 yes just made a post on IG about how film prices are making me lean more into shoot digi! Hope you enjoy my other videos too
@@LucyLumen Yes I can definitely relate to that. Just ordered a 3-pack of ColorPlus for way too much $$ but it was the cheapest I could find. Yikes! Oh I'll definitely check out your other vids too. Feel free to have a look at mine asw if you have the time. I just started posting here on YT, mainly vids of me walking around shooting mediocre photos with old film cameras, but hopefully interesting to some. :)
Awesome video, I've been shooting digi cams myself recently
Thank you lovely! Digicams are so much fun nice change from just shooting film 🎞
Used to use a GS300 and it was the most filmlike image I ever had, before switching to DSLR's and smartphones. 3 chip CCD! The ieee1394 protocol has sadly disappeared. Still have the camera, though.
Can you review Olympus E-p2?
Awe this channel is becoming more digital photography! Change was bound to happen especially with the rising costs associated with film!
Maybe I should try this. I have a Canon Powershot S90!
Drop the focus peaking on the xt4 , you’ll be surprised on how well you can focus a scene by eye !!
Hey! I also own the G9!
Never thought old 4megapixel digicams would be sought after again. My first digicam was the G3 - very similar to G2. The photos were just printable in 10x15cm prints - and quite noisy if iso was not at lowerst iso setting. I remember looking recently at photos I took on the G3 on a trip to Rome in 2003 and thinking to myself what a shame it wasnt shot on a 35mm film instead. Any 35mm point&shoot would have produced much nicer looking photos. But that said - I find this digicam “revival” very interesting.Perhaps I will dig up my old G3 and give it another shot just for fun 😀
Thanks for watching. I saw a video the other day where someone was highlighting a pro photographer who had printed A3 sized photos from a 4mp digicam! I’ll have to let you know who it was. I love film and much prefer it to digital in so many ways but you can have both! I find this revival really interesting as well. Hope you get yours out and give it a go
@@LucyLumen I have two beautifully framed landscape prints from G3, both 20 inches by 16 inches and they perfectly fine. I purchased my G3 in 2003 and was looking at the images I took of my son who was three at the time and they are superb.
The g2 pics look great 😮
Oh thank you! Can’t wait to share more of them with you all it’s a great little cam! 🙋🏻♀️📸
Try a Ricoh GR digital 8.1 megapixel camera. Fixed 28mm f 2.4 super sharp lens.
I love mine.
I also use a Nikon D40 DSLR.
Lovely colours.
Hello can you share what parameters do u use om canon g2 please!? And thank u
I can go that in my canon G2 video that will be coming soon!
Richo caplio R series are pretty good . Pics are quite film like . The digital caplio R1 is quite popular 😊
Not sure if you own the Olympus e300 or e500, amazing images from the ccd sensor 👌if not you really need one !!
Awesome video, Lucy! However, I placed a bid on a G2 for the video ended. 🤦🏻♂️
I looked up the g2 also during the video. I have to restrain myself 😅
Haha 😂 us photographers are pretty hopeless aren’t we! Honestly it’s a good buy you won’t be sorry Travis!
Haha 😂 you should get one they are so awesome!
Ali, 1 month / ah,,, 20 cameras sent me. I sub'd.
I had about 100 of these digicams, most of them I picked up for under $10, but unfortunately the last time I moved I had to leave them all behind 😭
Wanted to encourage you to not be afraid to shoot with your X-t4! Idk if you have all of your function buttons mapped out yet, but it makes shooting automatic so you should rarely need to dive into menus while shooting. My x-t3 is one of my most prized possessions and while I don't go out of my way to abuse it I also am not precious with it and it has been in all manner of unfriendly environments. I just occasionally clean the sensor and she's good to go. Biggest downfall is I shoot less film now D:
Thank you this is really encouraging! I just get scared of expensive cams haha 😆 my partner will set it up in auto and I can just shoot away. He has got such great shots of our family with it so excited to use it.
@@LucyLumen shoulda clarified, when I said it makes shooting "automatic" I meant it makes it easy to access your manual preferences! I'm sure with your bajillion cameras you know all the photography things. But yes, do it, lotsa fun!
Biggest win for your wallet though. People who dont know shit about digital think its lesser than film when its not; its simply a little different. In a lot of ways, digital is better overall. Film is only better if you like the look of a certain film that youre unable to recreate via post processing. If you don’t have a favorite, digital wins unless u shoot medium or large formats
I love my x20 👌 I use it more than my xt-2 😁
Their are no camera repair shops??
Canon G series are prosumer cameras: same or even more capabilities than their period DSLR (sometimes more expensive than entry-level DSLR) only difference are the lack of intechangeable lenses and smaller sensors. All cameras you showed were prosumer cameras actually, that's why they provide decent image quality
how do u import photos from the canon g2? 😭
Hi ele, I just use a USB multi card reader. Best investment if you have digicams!
What the full name of the Sony cyber shot camera?
Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-P41 thanks for watching
I loved my Fuji X20 - I regret selling it to upgrade. But technically it can’t really be classed as a ‘digicam’ as it has a CMOS sensor - not CCD.
Aww, so sorry to hear about your Sony Cyber-Shot not working. Those cameras are great. I have one with a 6mp sensor, that I really like.
But if you know me, you know one camera is never enough. I picked up an Olympus FE-115 and a Samsung S760 (a cheap plastic Cyber-Shot clone if you ask me). They both use AA batteries, so no new chargers! (Yay).
I did just order a cheap Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 after coming home from work (I blame Ali from One Month Two Cameras for that one😇), so that's yet another charger for my growing collection.
That being said, I have taken no wow to not shoot film for a whole month - my daily film carry at the moment is my Nikon L35AF with a roll of Fuji Superia 400 😃
I loooooove My G2... so much! Heavy fat bulky loooooove. . .
A digicam! How could you?? 😫
I just going to load some HP5 and weep......😲⚠️😳😥😁
Hey! (2).... I have that ARAKI book. 😊
Fuji X20 is just 10 years old! It's just old camera, but not vintage, come on! My X100 is older and there's no way to call it "vintage".
The G2 was 650 Dollars. I was thinking to spend 350 Dollars in on my first digital camera, in 2002, but then after research I saw that I really wanted the G2, so I paid 650 for the G2.
Film!
Thunderbird and Precision? Way cool.
It’s a Jazz bass but thanks ☺️
@@LucyLumen cool. Got some chops to view? What style are you playing?
Sorry to disappoint but they belong to my partner he makes all the music I use on the channel tho 👩🏻
Give the Olympus camedia c-4040 a try
I bought canon ixus 510
Nice!
nice dinosaur :)
Shooting digital for a month is not much of a challenge though, as most people in the world are shooting digital all the time anyway. 😉 I hope to see more film contents again after this month has ended … hahaha … so many interesting new films out recently, waiting to be tested. As for an example, the new Washi X film, best to developed as slide film.
That universal charger is probably bad for your batts
No film ,, I just bought some film from a company that’s selling cinematic film and they develop and scan it on a cinematic scanner
Don’t worry Eric I will be back with more film content soon I promise!
Tbf, the Canon G series always were for very serious photographers, just the one step removed from professional.
When you talk about 'digicams' in your Title, most people would think of cameras like the Ixus, Cybershot etc compacts.
The G-series Canons are hefty lumps, not remotely fit in your pocket, or what most people would consider as 'point and shoot'.
Maybe you're being a bit snobby here. A good photographer would appreciate the mass market cameras for what they are, and take it from there. Always good to remember that lots of those Ixus cameras cost upwards of £200 - £300, and that's nearly 20 years ago. For the average Joe, Josephine, and other they were a huge advance over film cameras in terms of usability, and in photo quality comparison with 126 format cameras, Instamatics etc.., light years ahead.
$2000 in today’s dollars‼️
Videorr
why not just use your phone?
If you are happy with your phone then go for it but i find it hard to use as camera and i just don't enjoy it as much as a dedicated camera. I find it hard to frame and the flash doesn't anywhere near as cool as it does on these digicams! Each to their own though a phone is great if it suits you. Thanks for watching
@@LucyLumen thanks for the reply! that makes a lot of sense, I just didn't get that from your video, otherwise it was great!
Gen z... 😁
You said Rico GRiii like regurgia iii 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm sorry- I can't! I come here just to listen to you speak 😊
Ummmm Very dangerous game you are playing! Hope you can go back to film.... Or need to go to rehub!
Hahaha everyone is getting so worried about me stopping shooting film. I have invested so much in film and I much prefer it to digital it’s just a fun thing to try and changes up the shooting experience and gives my wallet a rest too! Haha 😆
Now find yourself a Canon Powershot Pro70 or Pro90 ....
The Poweshot G2 were the first cameras that showed the average digital cameras could be an alternative to film. I still have some shots on my Flickr account that showed me how good that camera is. Given that it has a CCD sensor it tends to handle noise a bit better than CMOS sensors. You won't really use it above ISO400 but still that is about the average limitation of film. It has a great lens.
If you were into different lenses they also had an adapter that allowed you to mount screw on converters and in spite of that it didn't stop with just the Canon ones, you can also get others from Olympus, etc... Although you may have to use a converter to get them to fit, they sell them from China on ebay and it's usually just a couple millimeters difference.
People rubish screw on lens adapters... but you might like to explore them... They don't lose as much image quality as you would think, and you can get some extra length on the telephoto end which might help you with close ups. There are even diopter lenses which work exactly the same as they would on any other camera giving you a "macro" functionality.
www.dpreview.com/reviews/canong2/5
The video is probably the limiting factor of these cameras.... It'll do 320x240 VHS quality video and that's about it... Which was fine for the time when separate video cameras were still a thing, but your XT-4 will do a lot better... as will an 8mm film camera really...
Hi Lucie! Just wondering if you have an instagram account or anywhere we can see your shots because they're pretty nice
Hey lovely you can follow me @lucy_lumen im not sure if the G2 photos are on there though but I’ll post them soon for you!
@@LucyLumen aw. that's very thoughtful of you! Thank you so much!!!
INK ALARM!!!. Moving on :/
