How good/bad are disposable film cameras, actually?

Today I'm comparing the shots from a disposable camera to my Minolta point and shoot camera to see how big the difference actually is and whether even just a cheap point and shoot is superior to a disposable camera.

Hello, I hope you enjoyed this episode! :) I mainly wanted to have some fun by comparing the two, but maybe I was able to give you some insights too with this experiment :)


Wishing you a lovely weekend! <3

I don't know how to describe it. This video is like a soft cheesecake. The soft music, stylized photos, vibes of green and gold. I don't know how to describe it, but like a soft cheesecake: its comfortable.

[Nemisisssss]

I always feel accepted and at comfort in your videos. Thank you for your amazing videos 😊

You should make a playlist on spotify for the music you use, it's a vibe!

The Minolta Riva Zoom is way more sharper.

i mean, i hate disposable cameras out of principle (they're disposable, just like everything else in the modern world), but they do have a certain look, and they are very practical

[vinyluvarc]

i did not expect to hear a song in Portuguese wow

“Disposable” cameras were never meant to be just tossed out. They were meant to be recycled by the manufacturer. That’s also why they’re also called “one time use” or “single use” cameras. I think more camera recycling programs should be brought to light (no pun intended) as there are some out there that do recycle single use cameras.

i dont think the disposable has a light meter. those are usually fixed at f8/f11 with a 1/150s ish shutter speed

Best photography channel on YT! I'm still too intimidated to jump to film. But by God does he make me want to dive in.

I really can't get my mind around it. It happens so often that someone is genuinely disappointment that their photos underexposed, but then show the most gorgeous photos from the bunch.
I saw a Reddit post a bit back, where someone showed a slightly underexposed photo they liked. Virtually all the responses were people giving tips on how to avoid making ugly photos in the future. Once again, I thought it was one of the better pictures I saw that day.

I think in your previous video had smaller grain that made the video crisp . The bigger grains and youtube's compression makes the video quality look kinda awful, but good video btw

[Nick-dqzc]

I love your videos they are amazing & are very insightful!!

I was wondering if you could do a Q&A about you yourself & is this your full time job & about your journey to this point in your life as a photographer/influencer?

As I would like to get into making videos & share my photography as a full time job. 😆📸

[GianiMartin]

I could honestly listen to you talk all day lol. I really enjoyed this video and I hope to see more "camera duels" in the future - this was a great idea.

How long must it have taken you to find a Pokémon clip with battling Pokémon that matched the colours of your two duelling cameras? 👌

[HeleneOl-osuq]

Thank you so much these videos. They are really comforting ❤

[lemon-urbj]

I love the dreamy look you caught of the stream at 15:51! I kinda prefer the darker look of the disposable camera in this one

[marisawu]

Thank you so much! Your videos are always of such high quality!!! You clearly put a lot of work and thought into making them. It heals my soul! And your voice is so nice to listen to😊

[lenamartins]

Sweet choice of a portuguese song haha 🇧🇷

[urdr_urdr]

More of a fan of the disposable in most instances, to my taste.
