    Thanks for the walk in Santa Fe, I love this town I visited in 2016.
    I am about to buy a C-5050 and I came across your video. Informative, and good pics
    Cheers

    I remember when this camera came out originally and there was a famous photographer named Alex Majoli that worked for Magnum and he specialized in conflict photography. He used the C-5050 for his work as well as the C-5060 and C-8080, mostly black and white. In fact, he carried two of them because the buffer filled up quickly so he would switch off to the second camera so he wouldn't miss a shot. It was amazing the types of images he was able to get from this camera. Nice snag on your part and some great images!

      Yes! Actually some famous professional photographers still keep this vintage camera in their collections.

    I bought a C5050 back in 2003 and used it for two years. It was a really great camera and even now looking at the pictures I took with that camera they still look very good.

    I got mine out yesterday, and it still works well. Got the manual, too, so I can figure out all the modes and stuff. Mine is a C5050 Zoom.

    This camera is amazing! Wonderful colors! The lens is so good and fast. For today very slow and quirky, but it's for fun, so it doesn't matter 🙃 good job! 👍

    What a beautiful morning. Curious about the IS. Does C-5050 camera incorporate this feature? Or is is all in the wrist? Seriously though some striking images.

    • @y2kshots316

    Hi! Thank you very much for sharing your experiences ☺️ I have several Digicams, which are Fujifilm F30FD, Canon S70, Canon G3, Konica G530, Sony S75 but I am interested in acquiring an Olympus as I understand that the ones from the early 2000's have a very particular look. What I am looking for in these cameras is the opposite of what I can get with my Sony A7 II or even my Oppo Find X5 smartphone. With digicams I want to explore "other realities", I want images that are not so perfect, that have that "magic" of the own interpretation of the technology of those times. I have seen several models that I like, but there are so many that it is hard to decide. Olympus C-5050 looks very good, but maybe I'm more interested in a smaller model. Some models I have seen are the C-50 Zoom, C-740 Ultra Zoom, C-70 Zoom, C-450 zoom...do you think these options are interesting? with these models can I get similar results to the C-5050? And finally, do you advise me any other model even above the ones I have named? Thanks a lot for the tips 😌🙏.

    Hello! Love the video. I have one of these cameras as well. I have a couple questions for you. One- how do you upload your images? And two- I have an XD card but I haven’t come across a CF yet. Would I need both? Also, is this on an auto setting? The photos came out so great.

    • @y2kshots316
      @y2kshots316  ปีที่แล้ว

      I only use the XD card and I actually use a cable from the camera to the phone!

  • @markvelasco31

    This camera and its siblings can churn out amazing images in good light! I chose this over the 5060 because of the faster lens and it uses AA batteries which is super convenient. That battery door is super hard to close though which I assume why you have that rubber band 😁

    • @y2kshots316
      @y2kshots316  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That is quite literally why I have the rubber band.. 😂😂😂

    • @y2ktube
      @y2ktube ปีที่แล้ว

      "it uses AA batteries" - This is the main reason I'm going to buy this model. Unique rechargeable batteries are a royal pain...
      With all the high end digitals that I own, if I wish to go retro simple (low megapixel CCD) who cares about the slightly LATER models. '- AA' batteries ROCK !

    Very interesting. I also have a C5050 but haven't used it much yet (I have just realised that I have only taken 52 shots since July ). I will have to get out more with it. Co-incidentally, today I have purchased a C-50 Zoom which is why I finished up looking at your channel and subscribing. So I think that my plan will be to use both cameras stogether and to see which results I like the best. I have enjoyed the content and love your shots.

      It could be that your SD card is a little slow. You may need to get a more name brand with faster writing ability

    how to change manually focus so its not on the center and not scaled by up and down with inchs/centimeter? i have only once found that option in My mode by accident and i was able to move cursor and focus wherever, but later i couldn't find it nowhere? do you maybe know by any chance?
    p.s the images are really beautiful and u have awesome sense for composition👌ive never taken mine outside because its not working well, it works only on cable so i use it only at home :(
