The CCD compact digi cams have been all the craze in Asia. Lots of Japanese and Chinese youths have been buying those cameras to relive childhood nostalgia!

Oh my goodness. Thank you for the shout out! Absolutely love this video and all the fantastic tips. I’ve really been enjoying the stacking approach as well and have been playing with my 5D classic and adapted OM lenses from the 70s. Such a great look and fun experience. Your XZ-1 shots continue to blow me away btw. Thanks again and keep this great content coming!

I recently started looking into digital photography since my dad gifted me his Panasonic DMC FZ50 and the tips in this video helped me a lot, much appreciated ; )

OK Dude I've been buzzing around this topic for awhile now, probably for the last year or so...and this is hands down the absolute BEST, and I repeat BEST! video on the subject. Unparalleled—and you singularly have set the gold standard on the subject. There is such a wealth of information and a veritable trove of treasures embedded. My jaw literally dropped with your DP review search hack. I'm like: "are you f*kn serious...this guy is unbelievable!" No one need look anywhere else for information on the topic. Well done!

Very interesting and informative. Much appreciate being able to listen without muzak all over the place.

I just picked up an XZ-1 because of this video, and it is amazing! Thank you!

Let me tell you, I have a 2007 Canon Powershot G9. With the correct conditions and lighting it absolutely kills it. (Especially with the flash on) The photos turn out so good. Honestly some of the shots look so similar to film it’s hard to tell the difference. Very underrated camera for sure.

Just found your channel and subscribed. Useful content, capably presented, without distracting hype. You connect well with viewers. Well done. Love the “layering” tip. Have some old Pentax lenses — will dust them off and adapt to Fuji X cam. Cheers!

amazing video, man!
with films rising prices, I've considered using film for projects only and not as casually as I've been for the past few years. I recently picked up a digicam (canon proshot) and I've been having a blast. Really opened up creativity for me! I appreciate the nod! Stay safe!

Great man. I have been down this rabbit hole for years but you taught me a couple things I didn't know so thankyou.

The Canon 1D (classic) from 2001 has beautiful colours and its still a perfect camera 21 years later...

Interesting video- I keep my Nikon D700 around for this very reason. It definitely has that "filmic" feel.

[neilcousineau]

Excellent. I’m not into film due time, location and cost (full time work, limited photography time, small town no developers here, and film development is getting expensive) so film look in an old digital CCD camera it is. I have the Olympus XZ-2 and Stylus 1. Both produce great photos and camera limitations make photography fun.

Early full frame DSLR cameras like Canon 5D Mk1 and the Nikon D700 renders film like images especially the colors. I been burned out by the rising cost of film and finally broke down and bought an old D700. I can't believe a Nikon FM2 cost more that the D700 today.

[Poverello]

I once owned a Nikon D40 and loved the images it took. The CCD sensor makes a big difference in how a camera renders a scene. Today, I mainly shoot Fuji XE-2S. The XTrans II sensor is pure magic when it comes to achieving a film look.

[williamcurwen]

I work with a variety of CCD cameras and record in RAW+JPEG … this is important for editing the RAW file to achieve the luminosity of the scene as remembered, and then combine with the JPEG file to achieve the colour as was - accurately - recorded at the time. This can be easily extended to multi exposure HDR work to overcome the dynamic range limitations of the CCD.

Another thing to keep in mind is that in the early 2000’s camera manufacturers had to make a determined effort to woo their professional and semiprofessional film loyalists over to digital. They did this by hiring the very best film colour specialists around at the time before they went into retirement to help create the colour filter arrays (CFA) needed to give a film look and a recognisable house style. The sensor light gathering technology, whether it be CCD or CMOS or X-Trans etc, has very little to do with the final colour as they are by nature monochrome panchromatic. It is the CFA combined with a camera’s colour to JPEG output processing engine that defines an individual camera’s actual colour fidelity.

Unfortunately, those days are gone, and to my mind it is only really Fuji left who really make a concerted effort to make outstandingly good colour cameras capable of being dialled in properly.

dude awesome video. I've been strictly film for like two years and I just made the transition to a digital guy. stackin'

[shaabaaz]

Having fun with Ricoh CX series lately and...all others devices stay at home since...those are gems and deserve more attention

For a 4 month bike trip I took a a6000 paired with a vintage pentax super takumar 50mm lens and was blown away by the images straight out the camera. Lovely lens
