Been wanting to try film cameras and had no idea where to start. After seeing this short, dropped $200 on a Canonet 28, portra films and some old batteries. Thanks Moment for pushing me to make impulsive buying decisions 😅
Bro what the heck, a standard point and shoot and some Fujifilm stock is like only $45, even an AE-1 is only like $150 at the more expensive end you got ripped off
@@AlmaDeAngel 150 for the usual Canons, Leicas or Pentax is pretty normal even when they look like almost new. 200 for that one is a total ripoff, but i mean the dude in the video even said it goes under 100 bucks, well
Would strongly recommend the Canon AE-1, have been shooting with it a lot. The reason i would prefer the AE-1, is largely because you can change the lens and it has a built in light meter. But everything is a preference, and keep on shooting film!
The QL17 Giii was one of the best piece of camera equipment ive ever owned. I “wasted” the most rolls in that camera. Since the exact battery type was hard to find, it really pushed me to learn manual exposure in my head lmao. This camera also made me fell in love with rangefinders. Would recommend.
I strongly disagree, respectfully. Not only is it unrealistic to find a fully functioning copy under $100, a rangefinder is not what I would recommend to a beginner. There are several automatic-exposure SLR’s that are more affordable, more comfortable/ergonomic, and more encouraging of expanding on basic photographic fundamentals.
@@jasmine.58 The point was to make the video creator aware that it's misleading to encourage the audience to shop for a deal they likely won't find, and to give my opinion that a 1970's rangefinder is not suitable for today's beginner photographers.
@@lilluzifer Sorry, I didn't see this until now. Pentax ME (or ME Super), Fujica AX-3, Minolta X-700, Olympus OMG, Ricoh KSX. All can be found in functional condition under $100.
The Canonet already has a reputation for being a high quality camera for a very low price, sometimes being referred to as a "poor man's Leica." I doubt a Moment short will change that drastically.
I picked up a Canonet 28 for $10 about a decade ago. I like how simple it is, however, the F2.8 is really best for outdoor shots. The auto metering keeps you from snapping away if there isn't enough light. Definitely needs a flash or you'll miss shots.
Do you know any places where I can buy 35mm film cameras in new condition (where the package doesn’t look like it’s been sitting around for a couple decades)? I already looked on EBay and Amazon so pls if anyone has suggestions
Im not sure but i think this is one of the many cameras used by combat correspondants during the Vietnam war. So if you really wanted to this camera would be great for a late war Vietnam combat correspondant impression.
Eh. I got a Nikon Em for $40 with an Albinar ADG 80mm-200mm Macro lens attached on eBay. I just spent the last 2 days going out and shooting with it and it was super fun. I went to a wash (area where water goes when it rains) near my house and took some pics of birds and the mountains near me. I got a pretty good picture of a quail, I think. I haven’t developed the film yet but it looked good through my lens. My camera is an SLR which is far superior to any rangefinder camera. Even if it’s not the best SLR camera you can get, rangefinder cameras suck because what you see isn’t aligned with the lens like an SLR is. Update: I got my photos back from the film I developed and they came out great.
Lol no. It has a cool aesthetic and all but the actual best film camera for under $100 is any Canon EOS SLR from the '90s that takes the current EF lenses. You can swap the same modern lenses you use on your DSLR onto your film body and enjoy the benefits of incredibly sharp optics, auto-wind and autofocus. I also have a Canon AE-1 Program I got from my grandpa and the full complement of FD lenses but it only gets used occasionally because the EOS Elan is just so much more convenient.
This camera is largely overpriced considering its popularity, and it's not a good fit for beginners. Beginners should start with an interchangable lens SLR for the sake of flexibility and ease of use. The best beginner camera is the decent SLR you'll find on fb marketplace near you for $40
Picked up my old Canon Pellix QL for $80 the dude was original owner and brought it home from Japan I couldn’t believe the luck I had to have it also came with a 58mm F1.2 lens 🙏🙏
Unfortunately the shutter speed is locked at 1/30 if there is no battery or the light meter is broken. This is because it relies on the light meter for choosing a shutter speed. This is what happened to mine.
If anyone wants one of these just go take the weekend off and go to a flea market. Better chance of finding a good cheap camera there and you can use it to the ground without worrying.
"Beginner film camera" lol I bet barely any beginners even wanna use this thing cause it has Shutter priority and manual focusing using the tiny rangefinder patch.
Nobody would ever sell this for anything less than about $200. Unless you’re lucky and find one in grandmas junk pile at her estate sale. I got mine for $20 out of a bulk camera deal.
Actually.. the Canonet (OG) which came out 10yrs prior is actually the one that would be considered the better. Only issue is finding them with the EE that actually still works or isn't burnt out. But good try tho my guy.
To anyone envious - the lens is pretty terrible. Very very soft, awful contrast, and it can't be replaced. You'd be better off getting a slightly larger slr.
I have one also, but it's NOT a point and shoot camera. You will need to adjust its exposure. Mine camera's AE no longer works, but I just use an app on my phone.
I'm a professional photographer period I use nikon because I love nikon. Their lenses are amazing. The nikon d three is amazing I think that's the greatest camera ever
yes it has auto exposure, but you need a battery to it, ut originaly it was made of mercury, nowadays there's no way to to find substitute working with this camera, maybe I am wrong, but I've got Canonet for over 7 years now and still can not find any batteries
The cameras of the sixties had very beautiful characteristics. Unfortunately, these characteristics are not found in modern cameras, and I mean by the characteristics that we glimpse in the photo that was taken. For example, let us remember the pictures of the singer Elvis Presley. Let us examine his pictures a lot and try to look into the characteristics of the cameras of the sixties, how they have a charm and distinction that is not found in Cameras of the current era or those before it from the nineties and eighties Photography or types of cameras have strange properties and advantages, and photography still has secrets and magic that those who make cameras have not yet realized.
what happens when it runs out of film? that hundred dollars will be a dud investment when you can find more film to use because it’s only being resold on ebay and etsy

the 2nd gen ql17 better! still made in Japan and has a yellow coating for BW advantages. other than that it's similiar with the GIII features and size

Shot with one for about 45 years I'm 67 now so eyes not so good I had QL19
Enjoy it. Good to see old camera still being used
Respect ❤

Try the konica 35, just as good and far less than 100 bucks
Picked up my old Canon Pellix QL for $80 the dude was original owner and brought it home from Japan I couldn’t believe the luck I had to have it also came with a 58mm F1.2 lens 🙏🙏
you can pick up 90s electronic film cameras and those are truly the best for beginners imo
I got a 1985 Canon AE-1 Program in working order, which can be used as a point and shoot, along with a 35-70 f4 and a 70-210 f4 all for $100
I'd say Yashica electro 35 is a good starting camera

There are so many cheaper small rangefinders, if you ask me if it's expensive it's not the best way to go

No, it’s a seagull camera. Big fat negs.
But THE BATTERIES
The kodak h35 or h35n is also a good alternative. You can get a new one for 70 to 80
Anyone know how i could get a flash for one like this
You can find newer P&S cameras with more features that are a lot easier to find for about $25
The Canonets have a habit of having the shutter button go bad on them.
I want this camera but digital gimme
Strongly recommend the Olympus 35 SP, very similar but can shoot manually as well + spot metering.

Does it work well for lo light, im trying to find a film camera without a flash thatd be good for concert photography?
It's beautiful... Just hope that it wasn't all electronic
Nothing electronic in my Canonet QL 17 works anymore, so it's all mechanical.
i think it's better to get the ql17 2nd gen since it's still made in Japan rather than the GIII that mostly made in Taiwan
What a nonsense video?
Awesome camera for casual photography! What's more I paid only about $15 for mine, WITH a flash that is - what a steal!
