- Which do you prefer?
I'm really using this series as an excuse to shoot more film, so I hope you're enjoying it too! And as always, I'm not suggesting one is better than the other!
Get a roll of Portra 160 here:

Sad news - I believe the exposure was off on the Canon AE-1 due to the battery running low. My apologies, I will ensure a fresh one is used for the next test. I hope you enjoyed the video regardless!
Don't worry dude, whether it was overexposed or not, you were still able to bring out all the magic of film and show it to the people
Nothing can compare to film
i'm sorry but the AE-1 could yield much better results with better exposure/developing/scanning/editing. this is not a fair comparison.
every shot is blown out, the pixel is dope af... LOL
I think he may have a seal issue. A lot of those photos look a bit fogged.
Also a circular polarizer would help.
Why canon ae1 seem to be a little bit "over exposed" it seems as the camera's light meter is off by some steps
I noticed a lot seemed that way! Will work on underexposing next time to see if that helps!
@@ByteReview You can easily overexpose color film by a few stops, so i think that there's more a problem with the scan. My guess is that some of the information was cut off during scanning, but even a picture that is 3 stops or more overexposed should show much more detail in the sky than these.
You would actually get way better results with portra 400 over exposed a couple stops or more. Way better to over expose any color neg film. Under exposing will give you brown cast and muddy shadows which you can’t recover.
Here’s a vid explaining this th-cam.com/video/T3OIzjhu9eo/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the info! Turns out the battery in my AE1 was low as well which can’t of helped 😔
I see lots of comments talking about the over exposure of the Canon. That's really no big deal since film has a much higher dynamic range and you can reduce the exposure and still look natural.
The film pictures seems overexposed. Too much pastel.
I think it looks great though
It’s the vintage look
@@kayleedeering5121 it isn't "the vintage look" he messed up. It was user error and he even admitted it. Film can look very good, and in many cases it does, so much so that many digital cameras try to copy it. It's all down to the person behind the lens.
Canon Ae-1 makes everything look good
The Canon AE-1 has in-camera Instagram filters 🙂 I do prefer the film look too. You are right that it also captures an emotion. Great video!
What the canon does better is capturing the feelings of the moment, if our priority was the quality of the image we would only use DSLR. Film is much more about the feeling of taking a photo.
I really dont like taking photos with a phone but I'm really surprised with the Pixel, I never thought it would have such a good camera.
The fact of the matter is that in many cases SLR is better... This guy made a lot of mistakes when he was shooting. Overexposed images, out of focus, it's all down to the user tbh.
Haha says there isn’t too much of a difference but shoot the cannon gives it and old school nostalgic vibe
really great video. In this day and age the where everyone has a smart phone digital is not a threat to analog anymore, because anyone can choose to use one over the other. It is simply a different way to express oneself artistically. It has become simply the difference between water color or oil in painting. One doesn't cancel the other out, but they both live in harmony with each other. I think no one can refute that digital show a much more accurate and higher resolution depiction of how it was on they day than 35mm film. But the analog pictures seem to have more soul and honesty about them. Maybe it is possible to simulate the effect in Lightroom or similar, but that feels like somehow cheating. In that case simply shoot the real thing in the first place. Bottom line if you want super accuracy and convenience then digital. If on the other hand you are trying to achieve a special look then analog. As final note :- It is kind of ironic that digital mediums (i.e the internet and hybrid workflow) are bringing about a revival of film. Without the possibility of sharing the results of analog or the simplicity of developing and scanning at him then I doubt whether there would be a revival at all.
Thanks for the kind words, and I agree - It's great that film is still around, and if that's thanks to digital, then that's fine by me. I only got into shooting film because of TH-cam anyway!
Just seen this and I have to say in few of the Canon images focus was missed. Its obvious as the in-focus images really stand out. I have the same issue with my film cameras with manual focus lenses, I miss focus quite a lot even though I think its good, Its why I decided to opt for an auto focus film camera ( Pentax MZ-6), now my in focus losses are a lot less. Overexposure with film isn't such a bad thing, but bad focus is. Keep up the good work.
I'm considering using a point and shoot film camera (Ricoh GR1v) for my next test in this series, that's got auto focus so should help for sure!
Exposure levels aside (because that factors into the result)
The Pixel 3 is clearly a very sharp, focused and colourful image, you could say quite true to life.
But.... that is quite boring in my opinion.
You can clearly see here that with the exposure, grain, pastel colours and much softer image, that a film camera can make the mundane, look interesting, nearly dream like. So what if the exposure is "off" or the battery is low, or the colours aren't right. That is all the more reason that makes film instantly more interesting over the "auto" digital camera shot pictures.
Each of the camera phone pictures are nice..
But each of the film photos tell a story.
some of those photos shot on canon seems overexposed. but i agree that canon captures emotions, however that can be done with pixel too after post processing.
I like the warmer, almost pastel look of the Canon - nice to see a change from those super crisp HDR images.
Great job Tom - you enjoying the Mate 20 Pro? 😁
Thanks Dave! And I’m yet to use it! Away this weekend but will be using it from Monday onwards!
Maybe this is why film will never be mainstream again. As a niche hobbyist fun project...sure but otherwise its unpredictable, unorganized and takes time and money to finally see the final results. In the age of instant technology where everything is handled so fast and at an alarming rate, something like taking a simple picture is what we take so granted now.
I love the film grain and muted colors fo the AE-1.
There is no muted colors on a good ae-1 photo. The guy overexposed his images. It's user error, not a desirable effect.
Great comparison! I have an iPhone XS, but the pixel quality is really nice. As someone who owns both the AE-1 and a year subscription to VSCO presets, I can def say I still prefer AE-1's looks. It's just not as easy to throw around as an iphone. But it def captures something beyond just a digital picture.
Film just has that lovely look! The tight depth of field is also way better!
u gotta get that mirror mechanism oiled.... that squeak is not supposed to be heard!
Did you use a 50mm lens? The pixel has about 28mm focal length
SONY Adicto the pixel is 28mm, but due to its smaller sensor it almost matches
Based on my own experience, the film pictures are /under/exposed. For colour negative film, err slightly on the side of overexposure, and the converse for colour reversal (slide) film. Negative film is significantly more tolerant than reversal film. In addition to replacing the AE-1's battery, it would be worth checking the calibration of its light meter against something known to be reliable. I concur with other comments posted earlier that there is also something wrong with the scanning. Maybe the machine is incorrectly calibrated or out of focus.
I’m going to go with another developer next time, just to be sure! Shame though :(
I think that Protra160 was either expired or spoiled, they don't normally look like that
Did you forget to use the filter on the AE? makes a huge difference when photographing in daylight.
Here is the question.
When was the last time you got a haircut
Love the AE-1 shots even with mistakes.
Excellent videos! Can’t agree more. Thx 🙏🏻
Canon AE-1: Nostalgia and real DoF!
The Canon AE1 photos seem like they have more character. The photos look overexposed on the 35mm and film cameras had the original Instagram and cell phone filters. I love the character, emotion, and mood that classic film captures over digital. Digital is almost too perfect in where it makes photos look and feel fake.
I think the battery on my AE-1 is running out, which has caused the photos to be over exposed a little 😔 Will change the battery for the next video!
@@ByteReview That's cool. About how long will a battery last? I just inherited a Canon AE-1 from a relative and very anxious to use it. Is 35mm film still sold in retail stores?
It should last around a year I believe! And yeah they do, but might be hard to come by if you’re looking for something specific, Amazon sells pretty much everything though :)!
You have to look at the small objects in the pictures to see the difference and the canon is way better
Dude, great video. But next time, please, use iso compensation for film :))
Idk Why is everyone complaining about the photos being overexposed, I think they look great like that tbh
Because apparently it was not the intention of the author, happened to me too with a faulty Canon EF and with Portra 160 too, it can tolerate some overexposure but for this result, which I think is great, you just need a cheeper ColorPlus 200, which has less dynamic range, less contrast, more muted colors and emphasis in yellows that properly exposed Portra 160.
well you have a 35mm are versus a 1 or 2 mm sensor of the phone
I like the film better maybe it’s just the style i like
Great video dude, really enjoyed it.
Thanks for checking it out :)
Are u using the lightmeter at all?
See pinned comment
I really loved the canon 😍😍
I have this camera but how do u upload it on ur computer? Any idea?
When you get the film developed you'll often get the option to have digital files sent to you as well, which is what I do!
Wow I would think an asthetic camera
You should have used the auto settings, just saying
Whoever scanned those negatives did a terrible job at it. Blown highlights and overall blurry images. Not good, not good at all. These look like flatbed scanner quality.
I think you're right, I exposed the shots as I normally would and have never had issues before, maybe I should get a re-scan sorted!
@@ByteReview On this shot particularly 3:29 the face and shirt shouldn't be that blown out, or at least it shouldn't look like digital clipping. Even if you had shot with a lower quality film, a Noritsu scan should look a lot better than what you got.
film pictures look bomb to me!
Film is forever
You can't compare an SLR to a crap phone, no phone will ever come close to a real camera. Stick to comparing cameras or phones.
U can see on the sky , that Canon's photos are overexposed
canon pics over exposed and not enough DOF used.
Luckily I own a pixel.
Good Comparison Between 1980s and 2018😏.
70s
You have 1.8 Objectiv and no single bokeh
er hat wahrscheinlich abgeblendet damit das bild schärfer wird
pixel looks better tbh
Film really suck. Phone camera is where the best pictures are taken with
Film isn't analog.
overexposed..
all the AE-1 photos are overexposed
Yep, dying battery in the camera I think 🤷🏻♂️
@@ByteReview rip ahahaha cool ideas tho
That HDR is sooooo THICC
Canon bad
