In this video I compare images from a $20 camera (Canon Sure Shot Supreme) to a $400 camera (Yashica T4). Kodak Gold 200 was the film used for both cameras. Music: Lord Taylor - Until There's More
Some of the day shots are literally spot on to each other. You do pay for a better build at the end of the day. I’ve had a few sure shots go out on me unfortunately. Still worth going through them at the way lower cost tho! Good video!
If you’re thinking about buying a T4 or any other hyped up camera, and you have the money, just buy it. Otherwise you’ll just buy cameras that are recommended to be just as good as the T4, until you actually get the T4, and end up spending more. If you don’t have the money and want good optics and not the hype, there are good alternatives for cheaper. Hell you can even get an old SLR and slap on a Zeiss lens on it. For point and shoots I would recommend a Chinon 3001, Pentax PC35AF, or Nikon L35. But think about what you want it for. Snapshots? A disposable will do. Instagram? Any 35mm camera will do. Portraits? SLR will give you better control over a point and shoot. Landscapes? Medium format is wonderful. I can’t justify spending over $200 for a T4 especially when you consider their age.
Thanks for the video Roy. I was pleasantly surprised there were actually a couple shots where I liked the Canon better than the Yashica. Did you notice any weird or annoying quirks shooting with the Canon?
Definitely! There was very little control over the Canon flash. While the Yashica has multiple choices you can select from. I agree with you though, I found that I liked a lot more of the shots coming out of the Canon over the Yashica images.
I wish I seen this video a year ago! The T4 IS SO OVERRATED! I spent $400 for it! If I could give anyone advice DONT BUY A CAMERA WITH AN AUTO FLASH! Get a camera that gives you the option to leave the flash off whenever you want! Get the canon sure shot or auto boy before prices go up
Sadly, I have only shot at night once with mine and because there is really no way to change up the shutter speed or aperture there is very little control to be had.
Hello! I have the canon sure shot supreme & i took out its battery while there's film inside. Then when i opened it again, film resets to 1, is this normal?
i used to have a sure shot supreme. got it for like $8. made some nice images. unfortunately after a certain amount of time it didn't want to let my rolls of film go after it finished winding back so I had to pry it apart and then trash it :( that one nighttime shot at 4:29 came out nice tho!!
Sorry about that. I decided to take a break from shooting film because of the costs so I removed all of them on Instagram. Hopefully I can get back into it someday 🤞
But I think I am going to try and make a new video in the next couple of weeks with a TLR camera I thrifted and haven't shot with yet as I've wanted to for awhile but life got in the way, so keep an eye out!

Glad I could help!!

Loved your video!!! I was wondering if you consider the canon sure shot supreme close/similar to contax T2,T3?
Sadly I haven't had a chance to shoot with either of those yet

Were these photos taken with/ without flash?
Without flash
Beautiful video Harsh! Are the photos uploaded somewhere so we can check their quality?
There are a few on my Instagram @royharsher
I’m deciding between a canon sure shot ace or supreme but honestly, it’s really hard.
I'd personally go with the supreme because it has a wider aperture at f/2.8 over the ace that is a f/3.5
Do you happen to have any tips on using the supreme in night photos. Like distances from your subject

Roy Harsher thank you for replying!
@@andyd2432 Anytime! Sorry I wasn't really much help though.
Roy Harsher any bit helps if you give it a positive reinforcement
Hello! I have the canon sure shot supreme & i took out its battery while there's film inside. Then when i opened it again, film resets to 1, is this normal?
I've never taken the battery out while film was still inside so I can't say. Sorry I can't be of more help.
The dog 😂😂
are both pictures edited or raw?

What film did you use
@Gabrielle Andrade He says in the introduction and it's written in the description - Kodak Gold 200
Oh no, why is your Instagram private now and only has 9 posts? I wanted to see your pictures!
Sorry about that. I decided to take a break from shooting film because of the costs so I removed all of them on Instagram. Hopefully I can get back into it someday 🤞
@@Itsrharsh Okay thanks for the explanation! 🥺
But I think I am going to try and make a new video in the next couple of weeks with a TLR camera I thrifted and haven't shot with yet as I've wanted to for awhile but life got in the way, so keep an eye out!
@@Itsrharsh Definitely!
