Nice video. I started out with film in the 1970s, went all in digital around 2015 or so and have M32, APSc and FF. Recently getting into film both disposable and reusable point and shoot given to grand children. Then I remembered an old Canon SD1200IS I got in 2011 and is fun to use. Well I got it back out, got some extra batteries and it is still a ton of fun to use when I don't want to carry around one of my larger digital DSLR or Mirrorless bodies and lenses.

It's about a year since the hype with digicams started and at this point many channels that would pick up this subject has already picked it up and yet the trend is in decline, so it's safe to say you are not risking not buying right now on a digicam. The reason why it won't pick up is because the main reason they had an appeal was the "colours", which is attributed to the CCD sensors, the compactness and the price. Sooner or later people will realise there are better fits for their list and also the limitations of these cams are not clearly showcased and people will quickly figure out. Either way some of the digicams that were actually interesting and that you won't waste your money over are these. Fujifilm's super CCD sensors were particularly interesting when it came their colour science, the bigger the resolution the more likely they bothered with the lens of the digicam. Sigma DP series is really well known for their foveon sensors having an insane resolution and microcontrast quality, they feel, look and operate like film cameras. Some Sony super RGB digicam seem interesting as well as their RGB-I cameras that supposedly they captured some part of the infrared spectrum. Finally some Ricoh digicams were said to be using a layer of CMOS filter to boost the operating speed of their CCD sensors by lowering the quality, that sounds interesting regardless. If you just want to try out the digicams any canon G or A digicam will do the trick. Enjoy as much as you can.

I just shot with my Canon Poweshot G3 this past weekend. I had a blast. I picked it up at a swapmeet ( another place to find retro digicams ) a couple years ago. It came with a charger, 4! batteries, two 2gb CF cards in a Lowepro bag. $60 ( Canadian ). It's only 4MP, has a tiny terrible screen yet I love using it. It has a 35-140mm f2-f3 lens. I generally just leave it at 35mm and snap away. Funny enough my best street photography snaps are taken with the G3. Lovely video by the way. Cheers!

I've own a few of these cameras over the years. SDcard compatibility can be an issue. many of the older ones are not compatible with the SD-HC format. 2 GB is the largest size card that will work. You may have trouble finding these. One camera I got working by using a 1 GB microSD card with an adapter. Some older Olympus and Fuji cameras will use the xD Picture Card format. I remember it being difficult to find one a decade ago. Some cameras do have internal memory though. Many of them will also transfer using USB, but it'll be USB 1.1, and you'll need a mini USB cable. I like the A series Canons. They have enough manual controls to be really useful, all the way down to programmable white balance and manual focus. It's great that it uses AA batteries. The LADA rechargeable AA batteries they sell at IKEA work really well with cameras.

The T700 is nice, but they often suffer from the impossible-to-repair built-in EV steadyshot stabilization as they tend to fail and screw with the focus. I would recommend the T5 or T7 as those don't have steadyshot built-in, or the newer TX series which use CMOS sensors but have optical steadyshot which is much more reliable. But any other T-series model is a no-no if you're looking to find one that's working properly for cheap.
