    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"

    Hey! I have a problem, what happens is that I do all the steps for RAW mode, however when I take photos and transfer them to my PC, these photos look very small, an approximate size of 126x98. and JPEG photos look normal size. Even though RAW photos look tiny, these photos weigh more than JPEGs

    I have the Olympus E-500 and the E-400 which is 10 megapixel and also has the Kodak sensor, personally I think the E-400 (which is the successor, yes Kodak is counting back) is slightly better than the E-500.

    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! : )

    I just figured it out. you will need a 2 gb sd card, it will not work on bigger cards. You follow the steps of basically the app that you download and you must convert the sd to fat 16 and after that it should work. sometimes it gives errors but i kept restarting over and over till i got it. The raw photos are about 10mb after and honestly its not that big of a deal. @@Fecho33

    Have any other e500 owners on here had a problem with the camera capturing deep purple colors? I’ve always wondered if in my case it was intrinsic to the camera or due to a hard drop and extensive repair that happened shortly after I got the camera. Other than that, I have found it to be great camera over the years.

    Thanks for standing up for this s*itty little camera. I can't afford an expensive camera but enjoy degicams for their portability and fun factors. The pixilation makes it look almost grainy when printed. Which reminds me of old film prints. Look forward to possible other digicams on your channel.

    Just got this camera off ebay with the 14-45 kit lens and I got to say the images coming out of the camera are garbage compared to the sample images I see on youtube. They come out looking washed out or hazy. Don[t know if it's the lens or I just got a bad copy of this camera. I don't see any obvious defects when I physically check the lens. I don't see the great color reproduction that others rave about. I can tweak the RAWs and they look a little better but I don't see the CCD magic. When I shoot with the 5D classic or one of my Fuji cameras, I see the uniqueness of those sensors immediately from the images I get.

  • @brandonmurray3629
    @brandonmurray36298 ай бұрын

    Hmm not sure what that could be, how does the sensor look? May need to be cleaned. Do you have a way to adapt any other lens to be sure it’s not the lens? The photos should definitely be crisp and detailed right out of the camera. Are you editing in Lightroom? Another thing you can try is the free profile from my website, the Fuji Astia one was used to edit my photos and I didn’t do much other than that profile and some exposure adjustments.

    My dad loves one of that series, looks just the same, widest angle is 27mm equivalent! Don't remember the resolution or anything, whether it has RAW. I remember the screen is transflective and always works. I might borrow it. Transflective screens are sunlight legible but the colour is muted. I am walking a PowerShot G2, it has RAW capability, RawTherapee and Darktable process the photos. Lens is nice enough. I have had several batts for it in various states of decay so i ordered a new Cameron Sino batt for it, the batt arrived same day and no problem so far. I also like my Optio W10 but it's in need of some work and doesn't do raw. But then the display is transflective and is very helpful with hist+peaking so the shots come out well exposed, and it's all one handed control and very quick. I love belt holstering that one, and i think periscope lens cameras like this one are severely underrated.

    The great thing about those digicams like that is that it won't draw unwanted attention from people around you including security folks, like a big DSLR will. I find it easier to get shots in peace when I use those nifty little point and shoot machines. I like any Canon digital elph 5 megapixels or above. I have and alder SD400 that still takes great pics to this day. I've also used many other brands, some great, and some just terrible LoL. You know, I also wonder why every one of these types of cameras was silver. You don't really see a lot of stuff from that time in many other color options.
