Your videos are like CCD magic, so I watch and watch them over and over again. I have a few cameras, so I can relate to them even more. I'm happy with the Fujifilm X-T1 and using the Konica manual lens. I don't have any experience with the Minolta digital camera, and the G600 is a model I didn't know, but it's like a hidden gem. I especially like Kodak DC4800, Ricoh GRD3, and Olympus E-500 on the CCD sensor camera.

first of all thank you erik for your videos, they are somehow touching (maybe it's the pictures, the music, or the melancholy, or all mixed together). i bought the konica minolta 5D SLR (it's still a fine camera) and i could'nt believe it back in 2005/6 when i read that konica minolta sold its camera branch. i find today manufactures try to invent something new every time but the new features aren't needed most of the time. maybe the sense for the details of the products and their basic function like taking photos is gone.

Beautiful CCD colours! I have the Konica Minolta Dimage Z20. 5mp. It looks like a Star Wars ship. I miss when camera companies took risks and tried different looks, Some worked others did not. But I am happy I am able to get some of these hidden gems. Thanks for sharing!

I've been messing around with the DiMage G500 and the Digital Revia KD-500Z. Very fun and underrated cameras!

So, what we are missing is... those brands that worked hard to earn a place in the market. A market that has changed forever in which the companies are not planning to invest in product development anymore. One famous airplane brand CEO once said "We must stop being an engineering firm and begin to be a business company" or something along those lines. The engineering was let down and the trending has taken it´s place here in the present.

We are of course missing CCD sensors which were crafted to give the very best digital images mimicking film as closely as was humanly possible.

Hi Erik, would you recommend to get a leica digilux 1? I bought a canon powershot s80 after watching your video and I'm very happy with my purchase, so now I trust you more than anyone on this platform 😁
