Spent a while last week looking for the Chinon 3001 Trevor Wisecup mentioned in your recent video, but instead stumbled upon it’s clone, a Kodak S1100XL for just £10 and can’t wait to test it out.

@@tygwrwasley8662 its the same good stuff but the flip up flash is less ideal and the flash off is less accessible. look for chinon 35M af.

The Minolta Talker was the first camera I ever took pictures on as a child. I was rarely ever able to use it, only at special events. My parent's spent a lot on it when it was new. Eventually as time went on, it became mine and I was free to use it as much as I liked !

I called this camera the "Minolta Mother In-Law" aka the "Minolta Big Mouth"

My latest thrift was a Miranda Sensorex that came as is with a pistol grip, flash attachment, and 5 lenses (35 f2.8, 50 f1.4, 50 f1.8, 50 f1.9, and a 135 f3.5)…in a leather carry…and all for $50…all items are well cared for and in working condition 😁 Can’t wait to try this stuff out 😁

I found the T90 at a flea market in my city (Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico) for 15 dollars, minor details of use, working and with a 50mm. And so I have found several film cameras that I still have at low prices like that. I even found a digital fujifilm v100S for $25 in perfect condition and working great.

Funny because I got an SRT101 too this summer! What I really liked about it is that it has a mirror lock-up feature for shake-free long exposures. And since it's fully mechanical it's perfect for that. I also got a Nikon Lite-Touch Zoom 120 with an obscene 38-120mm zoom. 😁

I literally watched this video yesterday to. Day. I went into my local thrift shop and found the manolta. Talker, auto focus. I'm not even joking and picked it up for $8 and it works. This thing is cool. I love your videos. Keep him up. I'm kind of doing the same thing now. This is a rabbit hole that I'm going down and I enjoy it.

I picked up a Talker a few months ago and it is so much fun. Lens is great and the voice is straight outta 1983. Adjustable ISO like I wish every point and shoot had. Would love to see a full review from you.

I love these videos from you. Can’t wait to see more on the Talker camera.

Pentax IQzoom 160 (38-160mm with panorama) and the IQzoom 928 (28-90mm, some have panorama) -- are fun cameras and the functions work well, and very decent lenses. I have a bunch of the Minolta Talker cameras -- the flash and motor drive can be finicky, but they take decent shots when working -- and the rumor is that the Japanese woman who recorded the phrases was the daughter of the head of Minolta at the time. And that was a *GREAT* find for the book! Enjoy!

Thrifted my first Rangefinder, an Argus C4, and with a bit of elbow grease its seems to work beautifully. Love supporting thrift and antique shops, great people and great stuff ❤ 🎉

The canon TX was my first film camera from my great grandpa. Still use it !

The T90 is actually kind of a rare find.

It's even rarer if It works as intended. And it's not popping error messages. I saw a nice FTb today with 50/1.8 FD.

This past summer I managed to find a Canon AE-1 in my local upper midwest thrift store with a Soligor 80-200mm lens attached for $10, and the Canon FD 50mm kit lens next to it for another $5. I felt like I won the lottery with that. The AE-1 needed a refurb, but after that it works so damn good

I watched this video yesterday, and I got inspired to go to a second hand shop nearby. I picked up the Minolta Talker in the Salvation Army for $3. One of the two batteries was corroded, which I cleaned out when I got home. Appears to be working.

I love your thriftstore videos because they inspire me to go out and find cameras to use in my photography.

I love Canon T90s, but there's something about the battery contacts that make them corrode super fast if it stays idle for just a while. I have a Talker that is incredibly fun and actually seem to hvae a very solid lens, but it's still stained and smelly from being in a heavy smoker's house ... not a deterrent for me, but I probably wouldn't be able to sell it.

Great to see you out on the hunt! Man -- around here all of the chain thrift stores ship out their photography equipment to their online auction sites -- nothing in the stores at all!!! And the problem with the online auctions are no testing, pretty excessive shipping/handling. But the general prices that I pay for mid-level and lower cameras is definitely less than you were seeing in the stores live.... But I would much rather have 'hands on' to check out cameras and lenses before I buy them....

Thrifted every one of my film cameras so far; so much fun. Best find so far is a Nikon FM3a with three lenses. They were asking $600 but got it for $400, which is a lot for a thrift store, but definitely worth it for that camera.

Been killing it on finding Nikons lately...scored a sick black Nikon FM and a Nikon F3HP last week. Really tempted to keep the FM, but I am definitely keeping that F3HP as it is wayyyy nicer than my F3. Week before a FA w/ the motor drive, an FM, and a Fg-20! Never had a Minolta Talker, always wanted to find one of those. Would be fun to shoot for sure! Do a video on it man.

My best thrift store find was last year. I got a Pentax MX with 50mm f1.7 SMC-M Pentax lens for 20€ (21,25$). Fully working camera with excellent lens. Lightseals were gone but it was easy job for me replacing them.

#minoltatalkergang I’ve got one on the shelf - I really need to get out and shoot with it!

I literally just got the minolta srt 101 for $95, and I just love the way it feels

Love this video! Maybe someone knows great thrift shops with film cameras in New York??

Love from the east bay, flea markets are banging especially Alameda. Concord born & raised

Fun video King. Found a Trip 35 for $10 a couple weeks ago. It had been on my list for a few years. Aperture blades need a little love, but excited to get them fixed and try it out.

I got a mint Minolta Talker thrown in as a freebie in an ebay purchase and i had the same reaction when i heard it talk for the first time lol…all i gotta say is if you find one, buy it! Sharp af👌🏽

This was a good one!! Got my first film camera from watching your channel. I found a Minolta XG1

I'm gonna go the Crystal Bridges Museum to check out the Annie Leibovitz exhibit again. I want to spend some time in the room where they have a pile of photography books to sit and look through.

Got a Ricoh Mirai 105 for 7 bucks, the most interesting film camera I have!

Just got my hands on one of these recently. You should definitely shoot a video on it! They also make a wide and a telephoto lens for this model if you want to look into it.

I've had a good amount of luck this past year, I found a Olympus XA2, Minolta Maxxum 5000si I think it was, a Nikon F mount ais 50mm f1.8 and a 75-260mm macro and I had a polaroid 600!

I literally just sold my Minolta talker. Having second thoughts about it now. Oh well

Just thrifted my first film camera. I got a Konica autoreflex TC w the 40mm hexanon lens for $20

Let's see that Talker in action!

I’ve heard that the pics look best when using an epson 600 scanner. As weird as that sounds. I worked at a film lab that has a fuji scanner and the pics looked better on someone’s person epson scanner-like SUBSTANTIALLY better

Episode 319 is crazy

Love your thrift videos! Just picked up a mint Konica ii for $15

I'm envious. In 2 years of thrifting, I made on purchase and the camera didn't work. Usually, I find no cameras at all.

Minolta gang 🤘🤘

Sana may mga store din na ganyan sa Pilipinas.

SRT line is by far the best manual SLR camera released. And you buggin skipping out on a Canon TX. smh. and The Espio is the one thats saught out after for pentax..

Damn didn’t know KingJvpes is Vietnamese 😮

I'm coming to the LA area in a couple of months - do you have any good recommendations of good thrift stores to hit up to find some good cameras?

I love the Canon T90, but you have to be careful. They're so old now that even good repair shops can't get parts for them anymore. If you want to shoot with a T90, buy more than one body and use one of them for spare parts.

The smack on the arm took me out 😅

oh, video with T90... :)

I do not have your thrifting luck! It’s mostly point and shoots and EOS Rebel 35mm cameras. Best deal I ever got was a Canon Sprint for $5, had to clean and sand off the corrosion. Good deal though.

Just got a sony w810 for $5 it’s a $125 digital camera

I still wish that we would have thrift stores in the UK , until then we have the charity shops that use ebay to sell cameras etc. The only problem is that people have got wise to this and therefore a silly bidding war starts, and while this is great for the charity, it isn't for the buyer.

Du Ma Minolta gang come up!

Have you ever thought about popping into a thrift shop when you travel?

Should I make an episode in Hawaii?

My favorite videos of yours are film and film camera thrifting vids. Then any videos about film stocks or revolving around film stocks.

What thrift store is this?

The talking camera will grow tiresome fast. Personally I HATE machines that talk to me with a blind passion!
