      @@user-co6ww2cm9kwell sensors and film isn’t the same thing so you guys are comparing apples to oranges😂 both wrong.
      Film has fairly large grain. Especially old film. So each “pixel” might take up more than one spot if you put it over the same pixel grid as the modern camera. So technically the sensor is better but that’s compared to film of the era.

      A good film camera would’ve been better for the project in my opinion since it would have that slight natural grain adding warmth and be just as clear. I’ve always been amazing by good quality films ability to catch every small detail

      The cameras are that way to save on video storage space, since they may need to save footage to be studied, it would require a lot more in storage to save hours of hi def video than it would to store lower quality video.

    It’s so odd. The scenery is all correct, the camera FOV is correct, but the image is so sharp, and I think the luminance range (not a professional term) is more correct and linear.
    Edit: I did watch the video, I know what caused most or all of these differences. I’m just mentioning them anyway. Nowhere in this comment did I say it was a mystery. “It’s so odd” refers to the “feel” of the images when comparing them to the originals. If I stomped on these feelings with the purely objective knowledge of what caused the differences, I think I would be missing the point of this video. It’s art. It’s not a science experiment, it’s art. Let me enjoy.

    I'm lucky to own one of these Kodak's, it's a wonderful camera that still takes beautiful shots 110 years later.
    Fun fact:, while also a important camera to document WW1, it was also the camera to document the only exciting photos of titanic's interior. Taken by Francis Browne on his short stay onboard before the disaster.
    I love this camera so much, it's such a cool artifact that has documented so many historical important moments!

      Waste not want not. I once had the threads snap on my lens protector. My only choice was to delicately crack, the plastic on the protector and save the lens. This is also on an older camera from the 60s or 70s.

      its a mass produced item, which costs like $100. It ain't some "relic", there ain't no historical value in it, there are thousands more that ya can just order online. It's a camera, and him takin the lens from it ain't some sorta sacrilege. He's a photographer, so of course he'll use unique and interesting ways of capturing photographs! He even worked with historical recreationists to make sure that the things captures are accurate! If anything, adapting old technology into a new format and using it in a manner considerate of the time from which it came is one of the most POLITE things you can do with something like that.
