Really appreciate the info you put into this video. My girlfriend wanted an old camera and I stumbled across this camera at a pawnshop with no charger and no memory stick, this info helped me bring it to working condition!
bought mine a couple of months ago and it's been great, love the nostalgic quality to the pictures. the ones you took were great as well, hikes are always a prime moment for some nice shots
@@thelillypreston It's located in the same area where you charge, the top slot should have a "mini B" usb slot. A mini-B to usb-A cable should work just fine :) From there you can just plug it into the side of your laptop just like a mouse.
@@thelillypreston no problems :-) Connect the camera to your laptop via USB. Turn on the camera and the laptop should display the folder which contains the files . Click the files and download the images ;-) Hope this helps
I have the same camera, the cool thing about this camera is the "Night Shoot" Mode, which will disable the IR filter in front of the CCD and turn on the IR lamp (like today's CCTV cameras), allowing you to take pictures under nearly no light.
Man, I had that back when it first came out. Love it! I'd love to have one again. Very sweet camera. I also had the Nikon D80 (twice - they both got stolen!) Dig it vids 👍👍
@@robbellphoto Here's something I can't seem to find any mention of in my sporadic internet searchings - my very first digital camera shot 640x480. Not good pics by any stretch of the imagination. But it was interesting. I believe it was a Panasonic & it was one of those flat rectangular ones that was basically 2 squares with a swivel in the middle. Kinda like the Coolpix 950 but oriented to lay flat instead of stand up, if you know what I mean. I honestly don't know why it was shaped like that. @snappiness has a video short about the Rico RR1 that is a more proximate form factor. And thanks for the heads-up on Goodwillfinds 👍
Agreed 👍🏻 it’s a little gem :-) well…. It’s actually quite chunky , I’m glad skinny jeans went out of fashion as this camera needs a pocket with space lol 😂
Pocket rocket means something completely different in Canada.🤣 Someone just gave me this camera.So many fiddly things on it.Its fun to mess around with though.
Yep ! Noted ! Miiiiight also be because I failed to clean the horrible smudge mark on the incredibly dirty lens also ! Lol. Thank you so much for actually looking at the pics :-) !
Hey i have the same camera. I have the same charger you have. I have to ask do you insert the battery into the charger and then put the battery in the camera? And if i have to charge it again do i put the battery in the charger and then charge it again?
@@robbellphoto I'm sorry I still don't understand do you put the battery into charger and when charging runs out do you put it in again and the put in the camera
@@zunairahtariq7306 I use an external charger from Kastar , also picked up a spare battery from Kastar via Amazon ;-) so I charge the battery externally before I put it in the camera….
@@robbellphotoTHANK YOU SO MUCH YOU REALLY HELPED🥹🥹🥹 But another thing i didn’t understand is how do i get to see the pictures I took? sorry for being this ignorant but this camera is literally older than me😂
@@eloghosa2356 of course :-) You can either connect your camera to your laptop via a usb cable and see the files that way, or remove the memory card and plug it into a hub, then into your laptop.

I got one of these in mint condition boxed with all accessories,seller offered me the addition lens,so I bought that too,Great little camera,Apparently prosumer not consumer branded,pleased as punch,$3 what a bargain,Mine was quite a bit more than that.But it was complete and original box too,Great video.
Heyy, i got this camera from second hand and it didnt come with any cables. Do you only need those to charge the battery itself (externally), or those to charge the camera directly?
@@cr33kz The camera will charge the battery through its own charging circuit,Or get the charger that charges C-Type info lithium batteries externally,The other leads are for putting it through tv etc,EBay is good for retro chargers batteries leads etc.
Yup ! …. I think people just don’t know or do not care for these old digicams . Honestly tho…. The very best digi I’ve ever used is the Kodak DC4800. Get one and I promise …. You’ll love the vibes

Dirty dirty minds in Canada lol
i think your lens on that camera is busted. upper left hand of the frame of all your sample photos has a heavy blur on it.
Yep ! Noted ! Miiiiight also be because I failed to clean the horrible smudge mark on the incredibly dirty lens also ! Lol. Thank you so much for actually looking at the pics :-) !
I have the same camera can i cgarge with usp directly to the camera?
When i turn my on it has a 2:14 2:15 blank black screen what causes that
hi what memory stick are you using.
Have a duo adapted with a super low MB capacity;-) it’s slower than hell but pretty fun
@@robbellphotohi please can you get an adapter which you can replace the memory card? Cos it's own memory is soo low can't take longer videos

@@Im_scoppeecozii but be careful as the higher capacity cards may not be supported, in some cases just 1gb max will work
which is faster? easier to use, sony dv1 or canon g5?
I LOVE the G range ! But they’re chunky for sure …. V1 slightly faster but not as nice as the G…. My own thoughts
My battery is not turning up, what could be the problem
Sadly, my LCD are broken. I can't use it now. And seems like no one selling the LCD😢
That is sad indeed :-(
Hey i have the same camera. I have the same charger you have. I have to ask do you insert the battery into the charger and then put the battery in the camera? And if i have to charge it again do i put the battery in the charger and then charge it again?
I always use the full wall charger for charging batteries for sure ! I remove the battery as needed and switch to my spare
@@robbellphoto I'm sorry I still don't understand do you put the battery into charger and when charging runs out do you put it in again and the put in the camera
Also do you need just one battery
@@zunairahtariq7306 I use an external charger from Kastar , also picked up a spare battery from Kastar via Amazon ;-) so I charge the battery externally before I put it in the camera….
i thrifted this camera and it’s not turning on, hoping it just needs a new battery to work😅
I’m trying to find the link of the battery but can’t find it💔 I have this same exact camera bought it from ebay x
