For everyone asking the model of the camera: All I know is it’s a Sony cyber shot. A lot of people want to know the model of cameras people shoot stuff with. I find it so funny every time I read a comment where someone is mad I didn’t tell the camera name. But guess what???It doesn’t matter. Literally any camera can do this. the camera on the back of your phone is better than this. The amount of time you give to wanting the best camera is better spent shooting with what you already have.

It looks like one of the latest iterations of the W or WX series But you can read it out of the exif data if you check a photo, i would be interested as well (im looking since some weeks on good deals on CCD point and shoots) I personally found longer ago my first camera, a Sony DSC-P100, and revived it with a 16GB memory stick i found for 10$. Those days in 2004/2005 i was happy with a 32MB card that came with the camera and a "pro" memory stick with 512MB which was already expensive as hell these days. Now seeing i can record 999(+) photos vs 12 photos on a 32MB card (or about 200 on 512MB...) and also for the first time longer video on this camera (4 minutes in 640 fine on 512MB card...), wow. Im also very impressed by the zeiss optics, this little, small lens and 1" CCD sensors results are not too bad, sure 5.1MP are... limiting, but the images look nice regarding to look, colors and 3d pop, even a bit crop is possible! My cheaper (30-200$) DSLR zoom lenses have less 3d pop! Since a while i have also purchased a cheap P200 (7.2MP, sucessor to the P100/120/150), its the camera i have nearly always with me, while the high quality (magnesium alloy body!) P100 is in the vitrine. I have since i reactivated my P100 not the need for "better" gear, instead i want to experiment with the older gear. This "downgrading" all began as i got into vintage lenses which replaced for many things my much newer and often better lenses.

Point taken that it really doesn't matter, but for those who have to know, I'm about 90% certain it is a DSC-W830. There is nothing special about it aside from being pretty compact & lightweight and being far more expensive used than it was when it was new.

It's amazing how the people behave different when they see a camera vs a phone. And with a little point and shoots people are more open. They assume pictures are for memories instead of social media.

Well done, camera presence, thoughts, and production. Retired pro here and after 50+ years using the biggest, the best, and the most expensive cameras, I find I’ve gone from 8x10 film and 50 meg digital cameras back to 7 and 12 meg pocketable ones and having ease of use fun.

It’s how it all started, right? When I was a little boy, by mother had a Polaroid One-Step or something similar that she’d take shots with. Seconds later, we were all standing around the white square watching the image fade in. It was really exciting and mesmerizing to me as a little kid.

You're right. I eventually realised that the way forward for me was a point and shoot camera , for the reasons you have given. In a way you've confirmed I'm on the right track. It's more about the pictures than the gear. Well put. Thanks.

I read the title and clicked so fast ! I actually sold my professional gear and bought a point and shoot camera. Excited for this shift. I noticed many photographers are realizing the best camera is the one that’s always with you, hence cameras like the GR, X100V and RX100 are looking awesome !

I have been carrying a point and shoot with me, every day since the early 80’s. Yes, I have one of the latest IPhones, but when I am not working that stays at home. A phone is just a distraction that steals one’s time and even happiness. Yes, a phone can take decent pics and video, but ask yourself at what cost? The point and shoot actually adds to the life experience by allowing you to take pictures and video of special things and moments without the constant irritations of phone calls, messages, social media and all those irritating distractions. Long live the point and shoot!

Your observations mirror my own. I get the most joy out of photography these days with my little point and shoot that, as you recognize, can be taken out of my pocket at a moment's notice when I spot a "moment" and I can shoot quickly before the moment passes, not losing the opportunity by fiddling around with my settings. Well stated Hunter!

Thats only a reasonable argument if you dont have the proper camera ready set up to shoot and in your hands. As someone who is into wildlife since a while, i make sure that my camera and settings are ready for those moments, sadly im not, mostly. Where he is absolutely true, and which makes a difference. I would never take my mirrorless daily outside if i dont use it 90% of the cases anyways. Meanwhile, my 2004 point and shoot i reactivated and cleaned, i can take with me everywhere in the pocket and get a shot i would have missed otherwise. Sadly this benefit also goes for smartphone cameras which will likely produce better images than a old point and shoot.

I’ve started carrying one of these daily. It’s now my favorite camera. I get so many great shots. And you’re right, people love getting photographed with this thing.

I think it doesn’t have to be a point and shoot. It just needs to be a camera that fits in a pocket and switches on reasonably quickly. And don’t fuss over whether it’s in aperture priority or whether it’s raw or jpeg. Just concentrate on getting a nicely composed photo and let the camera do the rest. Then see what you get. Weirdly, I did exactly this today and then saw this vid.

​@@jaydoraiswami4762 I have the Fujifilm X-E4 and also love this point and shoot cameras. Is different.

Very practical and full of common sense. I must admit, this is the most useful and practical photography related video I have ever seen. Yes, these point and shoot cameras have many lkmitations, specially shutter lag and the shortcomings of a fixed lens. But a DSLR brings too much attention. If someone wants to capture candid moments, then a DSLR is a most impractical solution. In my opinion, for candid street photography, a DSLR / mirror-less camera is a show off. In photography, gear was never the most important aspect. It is the person behind the camera, who is most important. A Pro can capture such an amazing photo with a point and shoot camera which a non-pro cannot do with an expensive DSLR. If you have expertise, then you don't need an expensive gear to do street photography.

A very informative contribution that goes way beyond photography. What you are lecturing about is the difference between shooting pictures and creating visual art. Equipment and technologies are merely tools, but the eye of the visual artist -his sensors and his brain - his processor - uses what the artist's eyes see, and transforms a fraction of a second into a memory for a lifetime. Or in the case of the great photographers - a memory for generations to come. Thank you!

Yes keep this hype up. I need companies making small point and shoots again. Think inspectors around the world who just need to document findings and sometimes need full waterproof point and shoots too.

Create more than you consume. I love it. I'm in that right now. I have a canon eos R10 that I'm just not in love with. I want to sell it for a few older DSLR or point and shoot that i find quite organic and inspiring. Great message!

I'm a Sony A7iii shooter, but was recently given an "old" Sony RX100 II, and made this same discovery. I'm not giving up the Big Gun, but I did recently take only the RX with me for a day trip to NYC. It's a learning curve for me, because I usually shoot full manual. Maybe I'll switch over to auto, or aperture preferred. But I'm NOT giving up my RAW files!

I have many cameras of all shapes, sizes, analog and digital. I have to say that I agree that I am more tempted on a daily basis to use my 10.2 megapixel Samsung point and shoot that I got for $25 off of Ebay for the purpose of just practicing composition. It is fun, light weight, and is always with me in my backpack or pocket. I still do go out with my Sony or Olympus or Canon cameras that have all the bells and whistles on planned occasions, but for the daily, the P-and-S fits the bill. Keep plugging away.

Good stuff, I’ve been doing this some lately, taking my point and shoot over my micro 4/3rds and it’s been pretty freeing. I still get decent shots and it’s just a quicker/easier process for me.

Nicely done - I do it often. Only recently has my trusty 10.1mp Kodak crapped the proverbial bed after over 10 years of loyal daily service while the Nikon D7500 and Sony A3000 rested in their bags. I think it really does come down to the vibe - even if the end result photos aren't any better than what a phone can do, it separates the photographer from being just another asshole with a phone in their hand. Glad Fuji and Ricoh and a few other brands are keeping it real with the compacts even after Canon, Nikon and Olympus have pulled the plug.

For me, optical zoom (I'm not sure if all point and shoot cameras have it) is the one reason, I'm using one. Plus, what yoy said not having to be another jerk with a smartphone camera. 😃

Your video brightened my day! Your ideas are spot on! By using a point and shoot camera, you WILL be creating more because the opportunity to capture beautiful, or thought provoking images will be MUCH more available since you will not be busy changing lens or getting tired during a day of lugging around heavy camera equipment. Looking forward to more of your philosophical perspectives!

Love this, I have a series coming in Janury about this and picking up old point and shoots and using them. It has been a ton of fun. This is coming from a guy that carries a DSLR every where, till now.

I've always enjoyed the Canon G series cameras for their quality and small size. I am currently using a G5X Mark II. It is great for when I do not want to carry a lot of gear.

I agree with it all, i just found my point and shoot and will now try to put it back in service.

I have a Canon IXUS 300HS, the camera was in use back in 2010. Now 13 years later it was back to use and still enjoyable to use.

I have a point and shoot (SX720) and I just cannot bring myself to upgrade. Primarily because of the cost but also because of the fact that I just might not use it as often. Also the zoom on some of these P&S are amazing.

top notch content mate. the algorithm chose you. looking forward to more videos, keep it up!

dude this is awesome. all your reasons you stated about having a dedicated device for one thing is the same reason I still carry around an iPod

I didn't watch the entire video but I see your point and totally agree with it. A few years ago I had a simple stereo soundcard and did record a lot with it, now I have a 16 tracks pro audio setting with costly mics and gear...I record nothing. I will I hope.

I brought my ZV-1 to a Japanese steakhouse the other night and got really amazing results after grading the images. Cameras for Doc work have always been fun. No need for fancy anything but I appreciated the Sony autofocus.

Any camera is nice and handy if you don't need to post-produce later at home. If you don't need to grade your footage later, it doesn't matter what camera you use.

It's all about clicking. I had to sell my good gear due to 2020. Now with a leica point and shoot I click and record. Photography is my favourite pastime and hobby. Not just taking pictures but also I love to collect old photography books. Books give better knowledge than tutorials by KZread influencers. Happy clicking Nice presentation 👍 Subscribed You deserve a million subs brother!

are videos any good with those cameras? wouldn't be better a insta360 or go pro ?

I have a little Finepix AX655 that I always carry with me. It is fun use!

My out of production Canon Point and Shoot camera works best and is always the first one I grab. This after spending thousands on professional gear from the big name brands that is just more expensive and more difficult to take care of. It has a zoom lense and is always in focus. Nothing to set beforehand, and was less expensive than any iPhone. It even has a date stamp. Love it!

I took it one step further using an old Olympus point and shoot film camera. That I found in my moms storage. Loved shooting on the streets of Seattle and loved the look the images gave me.

Love the equation!!! It's something that I haven't think about, and it's life changing

before the age of smartphone cameras, i used to have a pocket casio digital camera that i put inside my wallet so i could take pictures. it really gets you to do more creating and capturing things artistically. i have captured more art photos with it than i have with all my smartphones combined.

Is that the DSC-W830? I have that since 2015 and it is still working fine. Thinking of using this same camera on my next trip. Tired of the big dslr.

I was recently on a 3 week trip to Europe. My cell phone doesn’t have a telephoto lens and I didn’t feel like carrying my camera with interchangeable lenses and a bunch of gear for it. I instead pulled out my older Canon 12 mp point and shoot with a nice zoom lens. I got some really good shots with it. I think my decision made the trip much more enjoyable as i wasn’t carrying the extra weight and wasting time changing lenses and fussing with the camera. I have extra batteries and memory cards for the camera so I was saving my cell phone battery and memory.

I have a Coolpix A900 (pocket sized) that I bring with me to concerts (since they do not allow bridge or SLR’s) and I alwaysys have amazing results! I like that one because it does allow me to shoot the same as a DSLR (even manual mode), however, no RAW (the replacement model does offer that) - only real “limitation” is the sensor size and that is still larger than a cellphone!

I actually like Digicams and point n shoots are getting love again. Hopefully manufacturers get the memo and start pumping out new stuff

The best part of digicam revival is that it's always there and will be cheap for many years to come. The reason: Digital cameras have to compete with smartphones and smartphones always wins for most people who are always in the now and want to share the now. Only creative types would like to use digicams.

One aspect that helps steady the hold of a point & shoot camera is using a hand-held pistol grip that's used in photography. Such a grip uses the same threaded hole, at the bottom of the camera, as what the tripod uses. Holding the camera using the grip, with steadying the camera with the other hand to press the shutter button, does a remarkable job of keeping the camera steady. The grip also makes for a handle to hold the camera, making it less likely to be dropped.

I prefer stabilizing with a better position and support, leaning the camera on to a tree or wall or at least supporting the hand on the feet or body. As long your body is moving while standing or breathing, you cant really hold still good enough, at least thats what i experienced with my small point and shoot (and no stabilizer, anno 2004, Sony P100). either a tripod which defies the reason for a point and shoot, or somewhere supported on a bench, small gorillapod,.. For the sake of "is it possible", i screwed this 20 year old point and shoot on my guided/tracked telescope during a astro session and tried some wide angle shots at 38mm FF equiv. and it worked pretty amazing since the camera followed the telescopes movement. I was limited to 30 seconds exposure time (no bulb mode or remote shutter...) and a super slow processing speed but the results were amazing for such an old and small camera.

Got a Nikon Coolpix P7700 for $60. Must say it's blown me away with how amazing the images are from the camera. Plus it fits in my jacket's pocket nicely.

Hi which camera are you using thanks

Really liked the way the video is made. simple and clear. And yes, small cameras do have their advantages. Even though I am a user of mirrorless camera with a heavy lens, and doing DSLR photography for last 12yrs, my opinion will be - when it comes to easy everyday photography or travel photography surely point and shoot cameras are best. They give you convenience and flexibility, which otherwise is missing with DSLR. Picture quality is decent. it has become difficult to get these cameras now. May be big companies think they are losing on their profits which might come through DSLR's and mirrorless bodies. That's why not many options in market. I am surely thinking to gift this camera to my father before he is gonna go out on beachside trip.

I have an old Nikon Coolpix 8.1 MP point-n-shoot I've been wanting to challenge myself with. It's 28-102mm f/2.8 - f/5.6 will be interesting to stick with for all kinds of shots, so I can't say it's all that limiting. I have to admit that I've gotten spoiled by having a smartphone camera in my pocket that takes great looking photos, and most likely higher resolution than the Coolpix, but I'm interested in giving it a try!

That’s awesome! And hey here’s the thing, resolution isn’t everything! Most of the time you can tell when a photo is taken on a phone and in my opinion, that look has gotten stale. When you see photos obviously taken with older digital camera, I think they stand out and garner more interest.

The story is more important than the equipment. Often I was messing around with lenses on my canon m6 mark ii. now i have opted for the sony zv1. i use it for everything.

try the m43 system, either olympus or panasonic. You'll get small size camera (just slightly bigger than point and shoot) and much bigger sensor to produce greater image.

for someone who has been running around with a digicam the last year or so, I agree, these small cameras are social magnets. More or less everyone wants a photo taken and the look of the photos is pretty cool even if its photographically speaking pretty bad thanks to the very high ISO values and the very low max shutter speed.

But when i go out for lets say a hike in the woods and i can expect wildlife... no way i would take such a tiny point and shoot and mess around, then i would just accept i dont have the gear and watch/enjoy the scene. So in this case the proper camera is a must have. In fact... the hike in the woods example again... as often i use my Canon RF 800 F11 lens (F11 aperture!) because its light, can be used handheld for everything,... nope, i have to step up the game in that scenario for a faster, long tele lens which is just hefty by design.

Canon IXUS 160, it's amazing and I really love it! Most of the smartphones just can't take pictures like this little guy. :)

Hey Hunter What "Point and shoot" camera do you have? For me as a first time photogrepher, i'm thinking about gettin the Kodak Pixpro fz55 😊 -Much love

Digital camera as long as it not faulty and you can repair you can use it always. But all smartphones even when it's outdated and can't use it anymore you just throw it away. That's why i prefer digital camera. It really feels something when you just snap the button to take photos unlike smartphones, just didn't get that feeling. I have 5 point & shoot & 1 Mirorless in my collection. Just keep it up. 👍

Nicely done video. How to use the GPS of this Sony cybershot camera?

Create more than you consume. Love it

Thank you for the video. As per my observations; the pocket sized point & shoot cameras have vanished from the market. Perhaps, manufacturers are no longer producing it. They are busy making gimmicky high-end cameras with glamorous features. I'm a hobbyist nature, wildlife and street photographer. However, for occasional indoor use at family & friends gatherings, I had been feeling the need for a pocket camera. Make no mistake; the smartphones do not and won't ever rival dedicated cameras in usability and image quality. So, I bought a pocket camera today from the used market. It appears to be in good condition. I'll try it out for outdoor shooting as well capturing landscape and lifestyle. I know it won't match the performances of my DSLRs however, I hope it will meet my basic needs. That's what I want it to do. Thanks again.

Thank you for the comment!

Last August I picked up a Canon SX740HS because I was tired of lugging the mirrorless everywhere! Carrying a ton of gear takes its toll on your body and I am getting old. Plus, its so much easier and faster to take out and shoot than a bloody phone. I have a 40x zoom on this thing and can capture more than a phone.

@@arkphotog I can have my camera out and ready to shoot in 2 seconds without even looking at it, especially if it is already strapped around my wrist. On a phone, everything is slower. In that few seconds it takes just to turn the phone screen on, tap the camera icon, and position your camera (and make sure your finger doesn't block the lens), your shot is lost. Plus the camera is just more versatile with a flippy screen, better battery life and way easier to hold. Holding a phone is like holding an egg ... you gotta treat it delicately. Also, a good camera can last years, unlike a phone which WILL start slowing down in 2 years and suffer battery degradation in one year. So now you're spending another few hundred dollars to replace that. Honestly, I tried using just my iPhone, but it was too damn frustrating. Right now I use it just for some secondary video IF I have my stand. Plus the long camera zoom is fantastic, unlike the fake computational digital zoom in an iPhone.

Biught one today. Made a 4k video fir yt.

Hi Hunter, you are richt, i use sony mini 100 camera 1e edition from 2014. Make so mutch realy social pictures. I have also proff gear, but the 100 is always for fun te best! And always with me. Tsannkkkss for your clip🤝👍

I like Canon's G1X III. Articulating screen, IBIS, APS-C and 24-72 equivalent zoom. Not many compromises, in other words.

Run and gun . I love my Sony hx9v for point and shoot work and I have the ability to go mutual mode too when I need to push it above its spec. It’s capable of stunning photography but you need to embrace the mindset and practice every single day.

Coincidentally, thinking the same way you explained, couple of months back I checked Amazon for point and shoot camera. Earlier, these websites were flooded with canon, nikon, Fujifilm p&s cameras costing $ 100-200, whereas, I found nothing in that range from these companies. There are either cheap chinese knockoffs, or high priced mirrorless cameras.

I have a fujifilm finepix hs25exr bridge camera I take with me when I walk the dog. Cheap but I like the range that it has.
