I’m from Bulgaria living in England currently visiting my Taiwanese wife. I’ve been watching all videos ever since I found this channel a month ago. Thanks for the entertainment
That first Pentax digicam is soooo pretty. One thing that always amazes me is how digital cameras are in general incredibly reliable. Units that are 10-20 years old still working reliably and doing what they were designed to do. So different from the basically disposable electronics of today.
1st. I'm from Minnesota. 2nd, I'm sure someone else has said this, but the long rectangle "Click Click" camera uses 110 cartridges film. Very common in the mid 80's to early 90s. When I went on my first trip without my parents in 1991 (I was 12), I used one of those!
Never made it to Minnesota, but just across the boarder in Manitoba and Ontario. Beautiful area! Thanks for the info on the 110, I think I just missed out on that era!
@@pricklypearcamera I'm a long way from the bosrder! Lol! Just 50 miles north or Iowa, my home state. 110 film wasn't worth being there for, basically low quality, but inexpensive. I think the only thing worse was Disk film!! That turned out a negative that looked like a view master slide, only smaller! Even worse image quality!
Hello from Vienna, Austria. One of your videos was recommended after a Teo Crawford video. I often shoot concerts, travel stuff and some street and nature.
Slovakia/Austria here. Photographing mostly super macro of nature, been doing photography since I was 6 (so, now it's been 22 years). Still have my first camera - Olympus C-300, maybe it will also appear in one of your videos ;)
Thats’s really really cool! I have done some macro over the years but nothing fancy. I have seen the c-300 a few times over the years, but not recently!
Greetings from the Netherlands ! Great vid once again. Love seeing all the different digicam models presented. There must be hundreds if not thousands over the years.
Portugal, here, always been an electronics guy, in the electronics engineering field who started getting into photography, and then when the opportunity to buy my friend's Canon 2000D kit for just a bit over 200€ appeared, i jumped on it. Currently on 5 cameras and counting, love taking pics of my old Mercedes, river landscapes and classic urban architecture
Awesome! I am heading to Portugal this fall, going to spend some time in Porto and on the coast, looks really amazing. Architecture shots look incredible there! I plan on bringing a few of my favorite cams to do some shooting. Nice to hear you're having a good time with it!
Hi from the Netherlands. I love your video’s. I take photographs with (a lot) of digicams, my Leica Q3 and everything between them :) Keep up the good work!
Hi from Scotland - with our weather, you REALLY appreciate Pentax' weather-sealing. Most 110 format cameras (like the GAF) were pretty much cheap 'n' cheerful, allowing just about anyone to own and use a camera. Pentax and Minolta made SLRs in this format, though, and there were a number of interesting (Expensive) models from the likes of Canon and Rollei.
another great video to watch! im actually from poland, we have some beutiful landscapes and such here so i love taking picture of them and the nature, the cities are on the other hand not so great.. i mean there are lots of good looking buldings but yet you can aslo find many post soviet architecture blocks of flats.. it has its own astheatic tho... I found an used 15-45mm kit lens for efm for 30 bucks! it was taken apart but the seller says that it works, im pretty excited tbh! hope you are having a great day
Hello, I'm from Manitoba. Really like your content, and I watch your videos quite often! I think it would be cool if you made a video about the coolest cameras that you have come across over the years!
Awesome! I lived in Bozeman for 5 years during college and am rather familiar with West Yellowstone and the surrounding area! Hope you have a great time! Hopefully no rockslides that cause road closures this year!
Hello from Münster (Germany), always love watching you Videos, there are a lot more cameras in the world than I realized, I basically shoot everything, recently enjoyed birding a lot.
Tokyo checking in…recently got into bird photography but still mainly into street & travel. Japan is great for old film & digital cameras although they’ve gotten pretty expensive recently!
Very cool! I have seen so many Japanese sellers selling particularly film cameras and lenses at quite competitive prices directly to the United States. Do you find that you can find some really good deals there, or overall pretty expensive?
As a reference, a good Nikon F3T body will set you back around ¥70k-¥80k. The F6 body is upwards of ¥110k. Leica R8 body in the ¥60k-¥65k range. Medium format bodies vary wildly with the Mamiya RB67/RZ67/645s most commonly found. I’m nerding out, sorry 😂!!
isn't it funny how when a 20 year old digital camera fires up it's met with a degree of surprise. yet mechanical cameras of old just "work" with no fuss!! I love those old Fujifilm bridge cameras. we had an S5700 (I think that was the model) and we loved it. It documented our daughter's early years, after we upgraded from a Fuji A350 point and shoot. I no longer have the 5700, but the A350 still works perfectly 🙂 the XD card is probably worth more than the camera though!!! We live in South Wales and can't wait for spring after the wettest winter in memory! I love looking out for all the new growth; things like bluebells, etc and the birds of course 🙂
It sure is!👍 Cool to here that story, I still remember what I shot some family moments with, very nostalgic indeed. Hopefully things dry up for you soon!
Spain here, more videographer than a photographer myself. But i like to take pictures anyways, here in Barcelona we have tons of places to take pictures. In the city itself or outskirts.
Nice! I am heading to Portugal this fall, might take a few days and cross the border to visit Spain too! What a beautiful and historic town you have in Barcelona!
Oooh, nice! I lived for a few years growing up in Queensland, but never visited Tasmania, but it's on my bucket list! I've heard it's really really windy there?
@@pricklypearcamera it’s very gorgeous here, one of the last frontiers of untouched wilderness, not too windy though, I grew up in western Sydney and it was waaaay more windy there, we only get one thunderstorm every three years or so, where as Sydney had them every night in summer. There is a lot of rain, and it gets very cold here but that’s about it for weird weather. We do get lucky and get southern lights now and then too :)
I live in Tacoma Washington. I do Astrophotography, landscape, and wildlife, animal photography. I will be taking photos of Hummingbirds this weekend and some astrophotography of the Orion Nebula, and I will try photos of the new comet that is now moving by the Andromeda galaxy. ❤
Love the channel Kevin. It's like Christmas every day...ya just never know what treasures you're gonna pull out of that box! 😎😎😎👍 P.S. you asked where everyone was from....I'm from Ireland ....the "emerald isle"....a lot wetter than Arizona I suspect! 😲😁😜
Thanks! It kind of is! Christmas in March, then April, then June, heck every day is like Christmas :) Yes, you probably get more rain on a rainy day than we get in an entire year! Our annual rainfall total here is around 12 inches= 30CM.
Ålesund, Norway here. I know a little about your area or rather to the north and east, from where Tony Hillerman wrote his crime novels featuring Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee. Hillerman country as I call it. Also I know that one one my favourite actors, Lee Marvin, lived in Tucson until he died in 1987. (But was buried at Arlington. - RIP) Climate-wise your place is quite the opposite from here. I remember only one long dry period here when our neighbour small town ran out of water. That will never happen in my town as our reservoir is quite large. Tonight I discovered an old Panasonic from the early years, the DMC-LC5. It is very much a look-alike and has similar specs to my Canon Powershot G2, both being announced in Q3 2001. Intrigued, I ordered one from Salt Lake City. I hope it'll work and take nicer images than some reviews I've read at DPR. Having a 2.5 in. screen in 2001-2 was pretty good IMO. Panasonic cameras entered our market years later, and it is rare model. Thx for sharing your camera discoveries. Cheers!
Hello to you in Norway! Yes, am in the land of Hillerman novels, and in fact I grew up and lived for many years about 30 minutes from the Navajo reservation, and one of my good friends growing up was Navajo. Very neat to hear on the LC5, I've sold and used a few of those over the years, very well built camera! Cheers!
Hi! Lots of choices here, so I'll give a few suggestions depending upon use. For a slim point and shoot canon digicam, I really like the Canon ELPH 100 12MP CMOS camera. Compact, easy to shoot, CHDK capability, CMOS sensor, good flash. For a Canon digital camera with a better optical zoom, you could check out the Powershot G series, like G5, G7, G9, beefier camera, super solid built, and a bit better optical range.
Yep, Sony has an E-mount 18-55mm that I do like better than the kit 16-50mm power zoom. You can also find affordable lenses like a 55-210mm zoom lens which is OK for around $100 used. Also, there are some neat prime lenses that are good for portraits, and give you good background blur. Those two models are the Sony 20MM and Sony 35MM E Mount lenses. A little more expensive, but good lenses.
hello... i'm all the way from Vietnam. Btw i have a Fuji S4500 bridge camera. Can you help me with the price, i want to sell it. thanks alot, love your content
Just FYI pricing is gonna be different where you are vs where he is, just based on the market in Vietnam being probably different than the market in the US (though a quick check on ebay does seem to indicate some international sellers trying to move em too so maybe it'll be useful after all lol idk).
Yep, probably is different, not sure if eBay does global shipping to Vietnam, but about 20% of all my sales go overseas. In the US market at least, the Fuji S4500 value is right around $50 USD.

Yep, very true! I was watching a camera breakdown video of a 10 year old camera on youtube last week and the build quality was fantastic.
Berlin calling - I really appreciate your channel and that motivated me to take photos regularly again.

10:34 That's 110 film. It's actually making a comeback now as Lomography just released a 110 film camera and they sell brand new film for it
Good to know-thanks!
I'm from England and just like to shoot if and when we get some nice dry weather here 🤩 Love your channel!
Hi! Thanks for watching! I've heard from a few other English viewers that it's been a really wet winter/spring for you?

Not sure where the market is for such cameras? If you've found a niche full credit to you

Texas, here. Kevin, I really like when you do the side-by-side with you and the pictures from the camera you're looking at.
Good to know-thanks for the feedback, I will try to do that on a few cameras through the videos going forward if I'm able to!
