True, but it's still nice to have a dedicated device for things like pictures or music(mp3 players) so you don't end up with a major point of failure. If for whatever reason you can't use your phone(no battery, broke it, lost it) you have things that can still back you up on the spot! plus a dedicated small camera is really helpful for saving space on your phone lol

It's interesting that this is exactly my relationship with my phone right now. I take it out, double-click the power button (to enter camera mode), snap a photo and put it away without reviewing it. I just got rid of all the apps that distracted me and turned off most of the notifications and all sounds. Now it's just a really good camera and a toolkit with useful apps.

yess, i keep a light second pixel phone for this. the auto mode makes great results at any point, take out snap, bam.

2:12 One benefit I see here is that the camera isn't doing any weird/fancy automatic upscaling or blending or colour shifting that modern phone cameras do

I think the bigger camera companys would benefit a lot from experimenting with a more lofi camera, fuji has found great success with their X100s, canon would really have great success with a version of this that had more "disposable camera vibes"

The usecase I thought of immediately !

I know exactly what you mean. I hate products that I “want to love” because of some feature or form factor. I can see why you like that camera, I love the form factor, it’s so smart. But, the fact that Canon, a well-respected camera manufacturer didn’t put a good camera in it makes it hard to love.

Omg you're criminally underrated! The color grading, lens selection, editing, all is top tier!!!

I have had one of these cameras (in grey though, not that awesome green) and while "I" do not have a use for it, I primarily got it for my kids to use. They go to camp where there are no cell phones allowed, but they can bring a camera. Also this camera is incredibly rugged so I dont fear it being damaged. The cost of the camera was enough that if it does get lost, I'm not out that much.

The format reminds me of the insta360 cameras, especially as they are even easier for just taking a picture as you don''t even need to frame with them as you can frame the 360 degree image later

Something similar to this is the Fuji Instax pal. It has a tiny wide angle sensor, it produces photos that look like they're from a 2007 flip phone.

Very entertaining review! Thing is though, the photos look fine enough. Perhaps make a special Ivy filter in CamerBag or something and you’re sorted?! Anyway, thanks for a great vid.

ooof been eyeing this for a while, going to try and find one cheap from somewhere like eBay!

there is definitely a niche audience for the aesthetic of this camera's quality, personally i found it really cool

Canon makes a few cameras which seem like great ideas, but the execution just isn’t there. The smallness and toughness of this make sense, but it just doesn’t seem worth the bother. Or something like the Powershot Zoom, which is essentially a digital monocular and and camera, provides a clever form factor, but the battery was garbage, it lacked WR so it wasn’t a go-anywhere pocket telephoto, and there wasn’t a way to force it to high shutter speeds for photographing things that were swiftly moving.

@gabrielbailey802

This is how i feel about my sony AS50. the photos look sharp but under-exposed and colourless. the other day, i took a photo of the bright yellow moon after sunsset but everything looked further than it did irl and it becomes grainy if you zoom in.

Personally I think the image quality is pretty decent! For all the random things I like to take pics of I could see it working very nicely, especially if it helps me save space on my phone lol ^ ^'

I think I'm the only one who LOVED the Holga Digital. It got HORRIBLE reviews. I got it on clearance for like $20 in 2017 or so. I loved the lack of screen and the simplicity. Sometimes the photos were a vibe. I'm no photographer so I am sure they are "bad" even for lofi and my skill level (or lack thereof) but I liked that 1/300 pictures that looked cool. I should dig that thing out.

Good video. It could be possible someone could recreate this camera with a Raspberry PI Zero 2 W and the RP Camera Module 3 (which has a version with no IR cut filter for color IR images). The image quality would be better, cost less, everything would be open source, and it would be infinitely hackable.
