  • Over a couple months, I compiled these 10 DSLR cameras from various purchases so I could do a lot of these 10 DSLR only cameras. They're all untested so I'll go through powering on, testing performance, noting physical condition, and finally assigning a value based on current market pricing.
    In order of appearance:
    Olympus E-300 4/3 DSLR Camera W 14-54MM Lens
    Olympus E-510 4/3 DSLR Camera W 40-150MM Lens
    Canon Rebel XT 8MP DSLR Camera W 18-55mm Lens Kit
    Nikon D60 W Tamron 18-270mm Lens
    Nikon D5000 DSLR Camera W Nikon 50MMM 1.8G Lens
    Canon Rebel XT 8MP DSLR Camera W 50MM 1.8 II Lens
    Canon Rebel T4i 18MP DSLR Camera W 18-135mm STM Lens
    Canon EOS 20D DSLR Camera W Lens
    Canon Rebel T3i W 55-250MM IS II lens
    Canon Rebel T6 18MP W 18-55mm IS Lens

    I believe three things keep these older DSLRs still working at their advanced age: 1) They were very well built to start with, 2) they were fairly expensive to buy and thus well cared-for, and 3) their owners found them unwieldy once they got a smart phone, and they stopped using them.
    I am getting used to shooting a Canon R50 with RF and EF lenses, but I also shoot with a 7D, 40D, 70D, and 5D. I occasionally shoot film with an A-1, and I just purchased an EOS 650 and an FTb.

      Hard to stick a DSLR in your pocket, thus cellphone wins. And people are lazy and not talented in photography. They are only good for selfies and group shots.

      @piotr433 Před 4 měsíci

      3) Before smartphones became usable, advanced compact cameras became the competition for DSLRs. I still use Olympus XZ-2 and pray it will last as long as possible and sometimes take Canon PowerShot S90 with me when I need something really small.

    Hope you're having a good one too.
    My wife still has got her 350D/Rebel Xt but when her kit lens broke I got her Panasonic's G1 with the brilliant 15-45 kit lens.
    (These days she just brings her phone, even though I bought her a new Oly 😢)

    i just found you by random and I'm loving the content so far, love seeing a lot of these older digital camera's. and to your question around the 26 minute mark, I use a canon 90D right now but it has an issue where it always meters my images to be way way too bright and i have to constantly adjust the exposure compensation to make it take properly exposed images, so in the mean time I also carry a Canon XSi with me for reliably exposed images

    • @pricklypearcamera

    I don't shoot anything new. My newest is a Nikon B700 from 2017. I have a Sony SLT-A57 (2012) and a Nikon 1j1(2012) that I use quite frequently. I also play around with an old Sony DSC-H1 (2005) that still takes nice photos even though it's a small sensor bridge camera. Plus a number of small point and shoot cameras. This was a fun video, nice to see they were working and to hear the info on them, good job.

    • @pricklypearcamera
      @pricklypearcamera  Před 4 měsíci

      Thanks Bill, RE: your Nikon 1 J1, do you have the 10-30 & 30-110mm? I think there is also a pancake lens for it. The majority of the 10-30mm kit lenses had a product recall on them for issues creating dark pictures, did yours have that issue?

  • @piotr433
    @piotr433 Před 4 měsíci +1

    I still have my first and only DSLR - Pentax istDS from 2004, I believe, with some descent lenses, it has awful autofocus (for some reason much worse than late SLR Pentaxes) and is noisy, but I love the colors. Now for years I'm into m43 Olympuses (currently Olympus E-M5mk3), I love its size/to image quality ratio, excellent IBIS and good affordable lenses on the market, but more often than not I take Olympus XZ-2 with me (bought in 2013) and pray it will last as long as possible - I love good compact cameras, it's a shame it's a vanishing category now. BTW, your video made me curious about early Olympuses.

    • @pricklypearcamera
      @pricklypearcamera  Před 4 měsíci

      My first digital camera was in 2003, was a 4MP Olympus that took some pretty great pictures. Nice on the ZX-2, that's a camera that I've used to and really enjoy shooting with it, just like shooting with some of the compact higher end Panny's and Fujifilms.Agree, it is sad to see that the budget/intermediate compact camera new released are non-existent.

    You asked what cameras we use. I tend to attract cameras, but am currently using a Sony HX90V to put in a pocket when I go to the shops, and a Sony A55V if I am going somewhere seriously, like holidays or a party.
    I was taking a Nikon 1 V1 with me when I went walking, but the 10-30 lens has given up (they all do.) It was frustratingly "almost good", with much better low light performance than a pocket camera, plus RAW.

Lately I was looking at some images I took years ago with a Nikon D40 and thought it would be nice to have that camera again. I found a pristine Nikon D40X on auction for $55. The camera had less than 4K clicks and looked brand new. Recently, I picked up a Nikon 55-200 VR lens for $23. It was also in very good shape. It's fun hearing the clack of the DSLR shutter again 🙂

Probably 30-40%, and another large % is people that had the same camera, it broke they lost it, etc, and they want to replace with the same model. Nice on the A6700, I love shooting the E-Mount stuff.

    Had a Nikon D200, a Nikon D7000 and bought a Canon D5 mkiii. It had a 18-105 canon which I think was a kit lens and a Sigma 10-20. I got it because it had an Aquatica housing with vacuum system and a brand new 9.25 glass dome port. I was told the D5 Mk4 fits that housing for the most part. I already had the Ikelite strobes and a remote strobe. The retail on the glass dome port is 2k which is what I paid for everything

    I went for a walk today in city center. I broght my main camera XT-2 with couple of lenses. Start with classic 18-55 kit lens, Tamron Adaptall 80-210mm F3.8-4 realy sharp zoom lens for its age, Super Takumar 55mm F1.8 another fine lens with its colours sharpnes and built quality and lastly Vivitar Auto Wide-Angle 35mm f/1.9. To acompany my main camera, I carry Canon Powershot G16. I realy like these old compact cameras. Because it is fixed lens, it pushes me to take more action. I'm looking for more compact cameras (fixed lens or body), I've used to own a Fujifilm x100. I'm planing to buy another one from second hand maybe the third version.

Boy used prices on Fujifilm just 5 short years ago were much more manageable then they are now! I used to use an X100T, and from when I sold it 4 years ago, it's close to doubled price wise in the used market.

    I have been been enjoying these videos for the last several months. I think I like just seeing all of the different models and learning a bit about the history. It sometimes leads me down the rabbit hole to find out more, like that model that had the vertical shutter button on the main grip.
    I still have have several of the PowerShots SuperZoom S/SX series cameras, from the S1 to the SX60HS.
    This was probably one of my least favorite video, primarily because I don't like the DSLR experience at all. It's why I went straight from Bridge to Mirrorless. I have a Rebel T5, that was given to me. I only used it for about 5 months when the RP came out. I hated not having the flippy screen and never liked OVF.
    I currently have the R8. I am not sure what camera body I would buy in the future, because the R8 is already more than capable of capturing just about everything I would normally shoot.

    Not to complain but I noticed that the Olympus E510 and the Nikon D60 both flashes barely work at all. I don't think Kevin noticed that from behind.
    I was also a little surprised that Kevin seems to prefer the CCD sensor to the CMOS ones. CCD was discontinued by all the high end camera makers (Nikon, Canon) years ago because they were much slower especially when using video.
    Still a fan of these videos.
    As to his question about what we shoot with these days I mostly use my Samsung Cell phone as I always have it with me and those built in cameras keep getting better and better, Some of them have 50 MB resolution.
    Also, a suggestion for Kevin to make a video showing the shutter count procedure and does that only work on DSLRs?
