CEO of getting straight to the point
Lynna Chau I try not to waste too much time😄 Thanks for watching
Thank you for the simple and straight forward review. That lens looks very good. I bought one top dollar but in mint condition. I plan on using it the same way as you do.
jdebultra I hope you enjoy yours as much I do - I really love the form factor (and the images it produces). I am glad you appreciated this review. Thanks for watching!
@@theoldcameraguy thanks bud.
Loving that camera collection in the background!
Timothy Makeups Yeah, I’ve got a problem, too 😆Thanks for watching!
Good review, my sister just gave me this camera that she used when she was a teen back in 93
devad4trs That’s a good sister - It’s a great little camera!
Lens (or is it the film) does not seem very "contrasty." But no matter what camera it always comes down to the photographer and your captures are spot on. Well spotted that UFO.
Thanks - The low contrast nature of the images is mostly due to my relative inexperience with developing when I shot these and the fact that I used a monobath. This is a fun little shooter overall.
Great video ! I just loaded up a roll of portra 400 for the first time and the camera rewinded after my 21st shot . Did you ever hear about this problem ?
Thanks! I haven’t heard of that problem before. Some people have problems with bulk rolled films and motor drive cameras, but that is a new one to me.
@@theoldcameraguy damn ! I guess the camera is messed up
Hey! Great video! Was wondering if you know what the flashing ‘e’ is? :)
Thank You! Not sure about the E on this one. On my Olympus Stylus Epic, E means empty (no film)
Wow! That's quit the collection you have going on behind you! You mentioned the only point and shoot camera I have and love! The Yashica T4 point and shoot! Love shooting with it because of how compact it is known for... Okay it's all about the Carl Zeiss lens! Hahaha
behindeachfilmgrain I’ve got the T4 Super - You’re exactly right - Killer Zeiss Lens! I’ll get around to reviewing it one of these days.
Nice job on this review, cool shots!
Thank You!
Excellent video. Loved your delivery and style. Looking forward to seeing more videos.
+Felix Estrada Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching Felix!
Sadly have bought one of these and the film does not load, has an error message and there is of course no manual way to load. Sadly there appears no fix. I have noted this is very common with these, and to be wary when buying.
jjB That is disappointing. This is one that’s worth looking for. I got lucky and stumbled across mine at the thrift store - It wasn’t on my radar, but it’s become one of my favorite point and shoots. I hope you find one that works. Thanks for watching!
@@theoldcameraguy No worries! Yes I hope to try again with this camera and buy in person rather than eBay, it sure is nifty.
Can you re-frame once half-pressed the shutter button or it measures AF and takes picture once pressed?
Yes you can reframe before you push the button all the way
I just picked one of these up at an estate sale. I can't wait to put a roll through it. I thought my Olympus XA was small, this is neck and neck with it. Anyways, regarding the infinity setting, do you know if when active, does it set focus to the hyper focal distance of 5.45ft? I went on my DOF app, and if this is the case this would be a great street camera cause at that distance you have focus from 2.73ft to infinity...assuming it's shooting at f16.
I can’t find any info about the infinity setting/hyperfocal distance, but I think you’ll really enjoy shooting this camera - Thanks for watching!
@@theoldcameraguy thanks for the response, and yes, I already do enjoy the size and feel of this camera. I do hope the images come out as I intended.
I took a chance this weekend. I threw a fresh battery and a roll of Superia Xtra 400 in it and set the camera to infinity and took a bunch of shots. I'll update when I develop the roll.
Bert T. Nice!
@@theoldcameraguy I've got couple of questions. You state that the aperture stops down from f3.5 to f16. I have the manual, which came with mine, and it states f3.5 to f22. Should I write this off as a typo? Also, do you know the shutter speed range? I can't find info on this anywhere. And finally, while loaded with film, I noticed that when I remove the battery and then reinsert it, the camera briefly powers up then powers off. In between, the lens extends then retracts and the film advances one frame. I did this several times, not realizing what was occurring with regards to the frame advance. I lost several frames. I don't know if it's damaged or designed like that, which would be a poor design TBH. Thanks for any feedback.
Bert T. Kataan.org lists the shutter range as ¼ to 1/250 second. Both Camera-wiki and kataan list minimum aperture of f16, but your manual’s probably right. The battery thing is curious. The battery won’t die after one roll, so the most you should lose is one shot if you need to replace the battery.
Konica a4 vs. Nikon af 600
which is the better camera?
Algernon Daniels I’ve never had any experience with any of the Konica A4/Big Mini series, but I would like to someday. I really do like this Nikon, though. I just took it on vacation to Tennessee this week. Thanks for watching!
Hi! Please, what does the flashing E me on the display? I recently bought this camera and the E is flashing and I'm not sure what it means
Not 100% sure, but on my Olympus Stylus Epic, “E” means empty (no film)
sir I have this one but which type cell (Battery) have to put on this camera plz reply
It takes one CR123A battery
Hi! I know nothing about cameras, but I came across this camera in my parent's house, and I want to use it again. What battery do I need to get for it?
Allyson Roche CR123, sometimes known as CR123A - Thanks for watching!
In your opinion, what would you pick up between this Nikon af600 and Yashica t4?
I have both and I find that the Yashica T4 has a sharper lens, but the Nikon can be a better bargain. Yashica T4s are selling between $400-$500 on eBay. I’m planning on selling mine - will be asking $350 so I can invest in a Pentax 67. If you have the budget for it, the T4 is hard to beat. Both are excellent cameras.
theoldcameraguy I like the sharpness and contrast of T4 better but as you say the price of the Nikon is quite much cheaper. I’ll try to find the reasonable price for T4 and might get a hands on one. Thank you!:))
When you press the shutter button on the nikon af600, are there two stops? I recently had mine and idk how to “half press” the shutter button :(
Yes, on mine when you half press the shutter button, a red light comes on to indicate focus. Then you press it down harder to snap the photo. Thanks for watching.
Looks like a fantastic street shooter. So small and pocketable
Perfect for street!
Nice video on a Nice camera! 😊👍🏻
Thanks!
Hi! I saw the camera on a second hand website for 100 euro’s and I maybe want to buy it! Is 100 euro’s to much?
If it is fully operational, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. It’s a great camera that fits in any pocket - accurate autofocus and meter - still less expensive than Mju II, Yashica T4, etc.
theoldcameraguy thanks for your answer! :))
Sarah Jansens You’re welcome - Thanks for watching and happy shooting!
How do you get your photos so crisp? i swear when i try to scan negatives myself i never get such great quality like yours
I use an Epson Perfection V550 scanner in Professional mode - 3200 dpi with unsharp mask and dust reduction settings on. Thanks for watching!
theoldcameraguy perfect, i have the same scanner and always had issues figuring out proper way to scan! i’ll try it out tonight with some film i have waiting to be scanned
Savtej Dhillon Great! Hope it works out well for you
what color film can i buy for this camera ?
Fuji Superia 400, Kodak Gold 200, Kodak Ultramax, Kodak Portra (160, 400, 800) are all popular choices.
@@theoldcameraguy Awesome Thank you! How do I know how many shots are left?
Is the lens of the Nikon AF210 any good in comparison to this one?
Nikon AF210 lens is slower, with a maximum aperture of f4.5 - I’ve never shot the AF210 so I can’t speak to other characteristics of its lens
The compactness of the camera is what sells me. Sadly the price on eBay is what keeps me at bay, so far im stuck between this or the Pentax ESPIO 115M
I’ve heard pretty good things about those Espios too.
@@theoldcameraguy and I just got this camera, I’m surprised how small this sucker is. Will eventually buy another just incase.
@@KingofStreet3 Awesome - Have fun with it!
What's the music? Really liked it

How did you remove the quartz date?
Mattnelo With your camera off, press the flash/mode/sell button to cycle through the date options until the screen says “off”. I had to try a couple of times because the button was acting up a little bit. Thanks for watching!
@@theoldcameraguy thanks very much!
Mattnelo You’re welcome👍
@@theoldcameraguy just curious, is there a difference between the normal AF600 and our Lite touch? In terms of quality
Mattnelo Specs look the same - there shouldn’t be any difference. I really enjoy using mine!
any tips on trying to fix the film rewinder on this camera??
Algernon Daniels Unfortunately, I don’t know of a good fix for that one. It’s probably worth checking thrift stores and eBay for a replacement - you never know what might turn up. Thanks for watching
Excuse me, does it need to adjust iso?
白崴 It has DX coding to automatically set the ISO. There is no exposure compensation to change ISO. If your film cassette does not have DX coding, the camera will set the ISO to 100. Thanks for watching!
is this also the same as nikon lite touch zoom af??
Jospher Oper This one is different - it’s got a fixed focus (prime) lens, not a zoom. Thanks for watching!
@@theoldcameraguy ok thank you!
Jospher Oper You’re welcome👍
but does it also have the same quality when it comes to pictures?
Jospher Oper I don’t have the zoom version, but my experience has been that the prime lenses usually yield better image quality than zooms.
Nice sharp results.
mamiyapress This has become my favorite compact point and shoot camera - I’ve been really happy with the results. Thanks for watching!
Really helpful, thanks for the video! Just found one at an antique festival & excited to give it a try
Patty Durell It’s a great little camera. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching and subscribing - I really appreciate it. Happy shooting!
Great review
DarkMusic Fever Thank you - I really do enjoy shooting this Nikon.
Lite touch As F**k.. Lol. Sorry can't help myself.
grgprincipe Yeah... There’s a reason they don’t name cameras “AF” anymore 😆
