    Interesting, I was just looking at some of these on eBay, thinking I might get one for fun. I own a G6 and love it still, It's treated me well. I owned a G3 before that but passed by the G5 because of the "Fringing" or rather "Chromatic Aberration" issue all the reviews talked about. I still might get one just because its such a nice looking camera. Thanks Pete glad you're up and going again.

    Love it. I still use my 600d but I'm out of practice. This looks like a fun little bit of kit. You can't beat freebies

    Right then! You squire have acquired a fine example of early-aughts CCD camera technology. Go forth and capture something amazing!

    brand new great camera. I had some good days with a G5 when 2008 in Shang Hai.

    Hmm, such a sudden video, Mr Elgar! At tomorrow I'm planning to get the similar G5 :)
    Fun fact: the battery on this Canon is the same one which fits into the older Gs and *0d DSLRs right up to EOS 50d!
    The prints you sharing here inspire a lot!

    I had this and swapped it for a Olympus C 5050z. Much better build, ergonomics, and colours. It runs on AA batteries too!

    If you have the accessory lenses I think you have to tell the camera in the menu which lens you are mounting. Also the optical viewfinder is not going to show you 100% of what will be captured.

    I got this camera on ebay, but it didn’t come with a charger. I bought a battery charger and it didn’t work. What would be the correct charging cable??

    Hello ! How do you get the pictures out of the camera ? I connected the canera with the cable to my computer through the "digital" hole on the side but don't see my camera appear ...

      @theoldfilmbloke  Před rokem

      I find cameras in my Software as a 'REMOVABLE DISK' it does not give the Camera Name. I use FastStone Image Viewer or PhotoShop 7 -- you have to scroll down all the things on the LEFT to find it.

    How do i get the photos from the camera to my phone or my computer?

    • @theoldfilmbloke
      @theoldfilmbloke  Před rokem +1

      I have NO Idea how to get to your PHONE but to get to COMPUTER you need to take out the CF memory Card and put it into a 'Card Reader' slot for CF cards then watch computer and a box comes up with Canon and you can see the files to download -- I am NO EXPERT !

    How is the LCD brightness adjusted? Mine is very low and cannot see the display unless if I look for a torch. How do we increase it?
