Hello hello, I hope you enjoyed this episode! Btw. I've noticed that the average price of this (and many other cameras) is going up, so it wasn't as easy to find a good deal as a while ago, but still as I showed you, I was able to find some offers for pretty cheap. Also keep in mind that this camera is nothing exclusive - there are lots of cameras from that era which are all similar in quality and price :) Much love to Squarespace for the continuous support of the channel!

One of the things I like about your videos is that you show the photos you take. Many photography channels take photos left and right but they rarely show the photos and let the viewer know how they turn out haha. It's always a blast to watch you walk us through your creative process when shooting, it makes me get out there and look at ordinary things with different eyes.
Because they just act like they know how to make photos. But they struggle to really take good photos or are not confident enough to show them. I take photos for 20 years now and never ever had the balls to print some and show them as the art they are supposed to be in my mind. Just now a week ago i ordered the first print of my works ever because i finally feel confident enough that its really worth it :'D
@@nicoschroeder5379 That's a good point, especially the dichotomy between the vision you've when taking the photos and how the photos turn out. Over the weekend I took a few dozen photos and I only ended up with like 3 photos that I liked somewhat; the rest were honestly crap. I'm also an amateur so I think my photos will be crappy for awhile haha. It's as Teo and his friends say though, there's no guarantee of a great photo but you must get out there and shoot for that to even be possible in the first place. Glad you felt confident enough to have your work printed. That must feel great :)!
As someone starting my film photography journey, I greatly appreciate your gentle style of storytelling and education. Helps me feel like I'm learning from a friend instead of an instructor. But I think more importantly I really enjoy the pace and style of your videos. Living in the states it's hard not to feel like the world is on some level always on fire. But you show a part of the world that feels peaceful. It's a breath of fresh air. Thanks again 📸
It's incredible to be able to explore yourself as an artist without being tied to large and expensive equipment, absolutely incredible. And the video track, simply fantastic as always
Hi Teo! I Was doing a interrail trip with some friend’s trough Europe. We visited Innsbruck for three days and it was awesome. The old city, the mountains, the small villages everything was so beautiful. The best thing about Innsbruck for me was to try out taking pictures inspired by you though, you are such a calm and creative person and that really inspires me to both take better photos and be a better person. Thank you for being you and doing what you love. All love from Sweden// Teo Svensson🥰
I was watching the entire video, really enjoying the photos, and suddenly a song with vocals in Brazilian Portuguese, from where I'm from, came on. The video got 1000% better! 😁
When a thing that has this much history with someone, one tends to feel comfortable around it. Also effects the results. Love the backstory and I think it added a lot to the photos you got.
Lovely video. Really goes to show how much of photography is in the composition. Please will you do a video which explores your technique on composing a photograph?
The ergonomics of the circles really tempts me way more than it should, as I Do Not need another point and shoot lmao. Design that keeps your finger out of frame is underrated lol. Right now settling into the Minolta Freedom iii ( I think it's earlier in this same line) and it sits pretty well in the value proposition here in the US on ebay at least. Some trades to be made (big, can't turn flash off) but a 35 f2.8 in a cheap and solid body worth a shot.
These photos look exactly like the video you show of the scene before you take it. I don't think I ever saw that. And I have been shoooting film for a long time.
MINOLTA GANG! Never heard of this one. So cool you got the family history with this cam. That park scene with the blue court on the left is awesome. Timeless vintage advertising vibes. BTW, please don't call the cops about that joint in my new video, I promise it was all special effects. Subbed!
I'm pretty sure the version of this camera in America is the Minolta Explorer Freedom Zoom (a mouthful). The Minoltas are amazing little point and shoots that I don't see many people talking about. I always get solid photos out of it.
Teo, I totally think you should try out and review the new Lumix s9 its seems like it fits your style soo much with the older looking style and new lut features.
I love your videos they are amazing & are very insightful!! I was wondering if you could do a Q&A about you yourself & did you do any qualifications in photography & is this your full time job & about your journey to this point in your life as a photographer/influencer? As I would like to get into making videos & share my photography as a full time job.
I've always found point and shoots to lack sharpness when zoomed. Does not really matter what one it is... have you found the same? I tend to only use mine at the default / wide length as a result. (The exception being some that have a dual focal length, but not a zoom range). Great video! Thanks!
Hello hello! I have a question: Would you recommend this camera for someone who want's to get their first camera? I've been looking for one thats easy to use, do you think the Minolta would be the right one for me?
Omg what a coincident, I also recently just bought this exact pns which also is a lot cheaper than mju in my country and just finished shooting a roll with it. My Olympus mju iii is also not functional atm so having this as my daily bring to work camera is pretty nice. It has a really tiny viewfinder tho, did you find framing with it challenging?
Good timing for this question haha: I hadn't realised that the .xmp files I was uploading to Patreon were only compatible with Lightroom on the computer, not on mobile. However thanks to some Patrons recently telling me about this and asking for mobile versions I've begun to add those. So June's preset I uploaded in two versions, one for Pc and one for mobile. I will be going back through my backlog and add a mobile version to all of my previous presets from the past for the Patrons to download, however that'll take some time still, but I will try to get around to it soon :)
Not that many sadly, I was usually the one saying it hahah😂😂 they might have been shy though because they saw this dude with a camera in his hand and a GoPro strapped to the head🫣😅😂 Don’t want to make Innsbruck sound unfriendly though - it’s definitely much friendlier than.. other places here in Austria😅
@@teocrawford Hahaha. Yeah, I am from Linz and I totally agree. Innsbruck is one of my favorite cities in Austria, it's so beautiful. And btw, I really like your videos, especially the Japan ones 😍😅.
Hard to say… have you scanned film before? If not, you of course wouldn’t know, but it’s a little tricky to tell where editing begins in this process. Even simply scanning with a certain brand or a camera makes a difference and then the conversion software makes a difference. Personally I use Negative Lab Pro and rarely make further changes after converting the negative. However inside of Negative Lab Pro I always make adjustments, which are necessary most of the time, because Negative Lab Pro does not interpret every negative perfectly (it’s only software after all). And so I often have to make changes (some lighter and some more severe) to especially the white balance and tint, the tonal values and subtle hues in different tonal areas of the image. Some might call this editing, some will not. Personally I agree with the latter, because I consider what I do to be more accurately described as “color correcting” rather than editing which implies “colour grading”. I hope that can help you in any way :)
@@teocrawford wow, what a brilliant detailed response. I appreciate you taking the time and giving me more insight into what goes on, especially with scanning of the film itself, thank you!
Samsung slim zoom 145s 🤫 Nice point and shoot with really nice schneider f4.1 kreuznach 38-145mm zoom lens and most advanced controls in a film point&shoot camera ever.

Always creating the most beautiful videos
Thank you Gene!🥹🙏🏼
This is what my day dreams look like

"I walked a bit without finding much"
Same here brother 😂
Interesting to see how Teo becomes more critical towards his works, I found the photo with the house (15.45) simply perfect! 🏡
Goes to show, it's not just about having "the best" camera, but the ability of the photographer.
Well done, Teo! Another great video with great shots.
i was about this camera and then couldnt find good review on it. but after watching this video i am thinking of buying this as my first film camera
I was watching the entire video, really enjoying the photos, and suddenly a song with vocals in Brazilian Portuguese, from where I'm from, came on. The video got 1000% better! 😁
I wanna get a camera like this, got a trip to Italy with some friends, never been on holiday with friends so super hyped.
just got a olympus superzoom 105g for 40 gbp, 👍
When a thing that has this much history with someone, one tends to feel comfortable around it. Also effects the results. Love the backstory and I think it added a lot to the photos you got.
Wasn't expecting the brazilian bossa nova in the part 2, really nice song selection!
Lovely video. Really goes to show how much of photography is in the composition. Please will you do a video which explores your technique on composing a photograph?

I love how you explain why certain photos are good and what others are missing. That helps me shoot photos better too so thank you.
I came for the photos, stayed for the music! Very good video and better music selection! Congrats
Lovely photos 😊😊
These photos look exactly like the video you show of the scene before you take it. I don't think I ever saw that. And I have been shoooting film for a long time.
That's attention to detail. He has graded the video with the photos as reference I believe.
@@watzmaaname Ahh Photoshop magic.
Loved your video, as always, Teo. Thanks for sharing this (and good hear music with Korean lyrics in the background :D )!
MINOLTA GANG! Never heard of this one. So cool you got the family history with this cam. That park scene with the blue court on the left is awesome. Timeless vintage advertising vibes. BTW, please don't call the cops about that joint in my new video, I promise it was all special effects. Subbed!

i really like how ,,chill’’ but still professional you are about making pics :)
This camera is truly one of my favorites that I own from Minolta! You truly made it shine😊
I have a Capios 25 myself (Pretty much the same camera as this) and I love it. Great little point and shoot.
The park photos are so good.
Great photos, nice music, relaxing vibes and brilliant voixe to listen to!
Your videos always have such a distinct feel. I really enjoyed the sound for this video. Id love to see the music credits!
You are doing well bro Good luck for your TH-cam channel and go on!
Teo never fails to impresssssss
Gorgeous photos Teo! I love the Fuji look :)
Teo, I totally think you should try out and review the new Lumix s9 its seems like it fits your style soo much with the older looking style and new lut features.
Fantastic video!
I love your videos they are amazing & are very insightful!!

Where do you live bro? everything looks so nice and cinematic just straight out of some anime
You sound like Jude Law when he narrates Lemony Snicket :)
I have the same but with a different name: Minolta Capios 25 📸
Amazing, thanks for sharing mate. Must ask, are you from Austria, or born in the UK? Such a strong accent, and great english. Cheers
hoping one day u will shoot film at hot country such as Vietnam or South East Asia.
So sad the mju 2 is no longer working! Such an iconic camera... you must find a way to fix it..
Beautiful, Bob Ross of analogue photography.
What film did you use?
fujicolor 100

Haven't watched the vid fully yet, but I just wanted to ask if you plan on shooting Kodak Vision3 500T sometime?

Did you edit these photos or are they straight from the camera? Thank you!

How do you pick your background music?
Whats the song here from 5:50
How many "serwas" did you get during the walk?

How about a Minolta Riva Zoom 70W? Looks like a decent option imo. 🤗
Samsung slim zoom 145s

Nice point and shoot with really nice schneider f4.1 kreuznach 38-145mm zoom lens and most advanced controls in a film point&shoot camera ever.
Bro film cams are so cheap
@@bozoc2572 haha 145mm is wild! Yes, looks like another great choice to fulfill a man's dreams.
Música Brasileira? Quem ousa me invocar?
$30*
dollar sign in front of the number...
And some people still dare to say that Germany is ugly😭
i think he is austrian
Yeah, this is Austria if im not wrong but still Germany is really pretty too
Holy shit man where do you live
he did say its Innsbruck in Austria
“You can’t have everything in photography”
*AI Generative Fill*: Boy, do we have something to tell ya….
Hahaha well… I don’t count that, my negatives are the only truth✨✨✨😂😂
Hey man! Love everything about your videos but can you chill with the korean BGMs please...makes it hard to go through the video in one sitting 😅
bro you need to start eating more
That is really rude.
