Why Digicams Are Making a Comeback in 2024.

Digicams are compact point and shoot cameras from the early 2000's that produce charming vintage looking photographs. These days Digicams are a popular choice for the casual photographer looking to capture memories with friends at a budget friendly price point resulting in people who have never had an interest in photography pick up a camera for the first time. This is the Digicam Movement and how it is CHANGING photography as we know it.

But can a digicam replace a disposable? 👀

It’s only a matter of time until the trendy “discover” DSLRs, photographer vests, and birding.

started on Olympus digicams, I now own close to $2000 in film gear and know so much more about photography. digicams are the gateway drug.

playing with digicams is what made me have so much interest for photography

[socksonfeet]

I like how everyone talks about how awesome this old tech is but meanwhile all their own content is made with good quality cameras and good lighting lol 😁😁

More than 20 years ago, I bought a digicam and my love of photography came back to life. I had of course grown up with film and I shot a lot of images with film, but I never wanted to spend time developing or printing or learning chemistry and I know that I was not smart enough to really figure out metering and light. (I mean, I could have done it, but my mind is over on the creative side usually.) Also, I love black and white photography, but with film it was basically a $50 proposition for every roll (buying and developing and printing). I was amazed that I had a little device that was giving me solid images that I could look at on a large screen and be happy about.

It's wonderful to be able to swap out lenses but for a lot of purposes a good one piece camera with one lens is adequate. I recently bought a bridge camera to add to my DSLR and mirrorless. It's awesome. And I want to round out my collection by getting a good digicam.

Underrated Diddy quip. It's funny how people chase after tech that helps things look different from the way we see them with the latest technology, like smartphones. That just underscores how photography isn't just about the simple reproduction of things and scenes, but seeing them in a unique way.

I have recently picked back up, one my first digital cameras again which I bought for its compact body. The camera is Panasonic DMC-ZS40S, and I wanted to take it out to experiment shooting it in a concert. Especially since most concerts will not allow you to bring a mirrorless/DSLR unless you are media. This also helped me decide if I "REALLY NEED" to purchase a new compact camera like the Sony RX100 VII. I was shocked with the results I got on the photos I took with the Panasonic DMC-ZS40S. It did have its limitations, but I was able to work around it and just focus on compositions and editing, since its able to export RAW photos at 18.1MP. Great reminder to keep (my) photography simple (for me) to enjoy.

i love this vibe, your channel became a memory already.

diddy catching strays from all corners.

i've been using my sony digi-cam before it became a trend, and i gotta say, small compact camera really helps me to get through my daily street photography needs since dslr's are kind of considered a luxury here in the philippines. considering its megapixels and the quality, it can still take great images for me.

My wife's employer gave her a used Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS and it's a great little camera. It takes good lowlight video and images.

My $5 Goodwill Nikon S3300 is always in my pocket. It's kind of a relief not caring my DSLR or SLR everyday like I had done for the last 30 plus years! I also bought a Lumix DC-ZS80D. but that was a new in box purchase.

Thanks for the review man and take care of yourself.

[jedesperanza]

I had an old Kodak point and shoot that i've been trying to find and it was the first camera I had a little kid that really got me into photography

[sergiocruzreyes]

I bought the SD1000 after watching your video. I managed to get it very cheap and then they started selling digicams at very high prices.

[cabcabs]

My aunt got me one of these for a school trip when they first came out. Mines got three dead pixels but that’s an easy fix in Lightroom. I just ordered some new batteries for it from Amazon. Can’t wait to be a real hipster with this thing.

[teethbrush]

You’re really crediting yourself for this whole trend?

I recently purchased an old digicam from 2006 for like $2 and I can't find it anywhere on the internet or the company that made it. Opticon407 made a digicam in 2006 called the slim box cam. I have the cd for the software and drivers and the boxes and manuals. Plus the actual camera. It takes like 3 aaa batteries. There's no screen on the back, let me rephrase, there's a little like watch or calculator screen that shows the mode it's in and what photo number you are on. It's not gonna replace my nikon fm or anything but it's nice
