The community for old cameras is great, even making the camera better. These things were expensive at launch and the value shows. Unlike modern "digicams"

That firmware is amazing. I really appreciate the grainy detail of photos, makes it more real and authentic. Good luck to all

I think it's a perfect time to get a digicam. Upgrading to a Panasonic S5 soon, and a digicam like this should be essential for any professional to keep ourselves grounded in the more core art of photography

Woahh I've never tough of that. That unprocessed look is definitely gorgeous and the fact that you are not using your distracting phone and just focused on enjoying your surroundings sounds like a nice experience

I just picked up this camera from a local thrift store this week, and I've been really pleased with the quality of photos you can get out of it so far when shooting RAW. I wish I could get CHDK bootable on a card larger than 4GB since having to do the firmware update bit every time really bogs down the shooting experience when I'm out and about, but other than that it's really nice. 14 megapixels on a CCD produces really nice colours and has plenty of resolution for cropping. Anyway thanks for the video! I had actually watched it a while back so it was neat to revisit after actually using this camera for myself. I hope to see more from you soon. :)

Your processing is amazing, and very nostalgic/film like. Could you show how you processed some of those images such as the red car etc. Do you ad the vignetting? The nostalgic look to your photos surely has a lot to do with how you process them. That would be so awesome. Great video! : )

What do you prefer, this canon power shot or your FujifilmE550 ? I know this canon came out in 2010 and the E550 came out in 2004 and I hear the older the camera and sensor the better to get that old school retro vibe on the pictures. Do you agree ?

@TRC_PNW

Жыл бұрын

I looked at the site a while back but got scared I would kill the firmware and brick them heh. I then decided perhaps the JPEGs were part of the fun and if I wanted to shoot a small camera with RAW, I’ll just grab my GR III or IIIx lol. Problem is, they don’t have a flash… I have the great little Pentax flash for them but that then defeats the purpose of grabbing a small camera to begin with, which is where these old cameras, especially with an OVF really win relative to anything modern. If someone made a new point and shoot with an OVF (the one on the SD990 even zooms when you zoom the lens!) with manual mode (like SD990), a built in flash, and RAW, I’d buy it instantly. Also, instead of giving me more megapixels I don’t care about, use today’s processing power to give this dream point and shoot beautiful built-in film simulations like my modern Fuji cameras have for those times when I do just want to shoot JPEG.

I was looking into getting a Canon S95 because someone said it shoots like a Ricoh GR and it does good for night shots. How are the shots on this in low lighting?

@brandonmurray3629

Жыл бұрын

I’ve heard the S95 is a great camera but I haven’t used it myself. This camera isn’t great in low light and most older compacts like this probably won’t be either. Sometimes the extra noise can be a totally fine depending on what you’re going for and you can always just convert to black and white if you need to shoot in a situation that isn’t well lit.

My understanding is that this hack stores RAW files in the DNG format. This is the format used by Lightroom and Photoshop. File size for DNG is about 10x the JPG file size, with a corresponding amount of time to save to memory card.
