This thread is for people who like old low-megapixel digital cameras. I love them for their grain patterns, inaccurate colours and the designs of the objects themselves. If you're into them too, show me some pics you've taken, or let me know what you like about retro digicams, which ones you own or anything else you'd like to say on the topic.
I currently have a collection of two, because my third old digicam broke recently:
- Praktica Micropix (0.1 MP) - I love the hazy lo-fi pictures this takes and the slight fisheye effect.
- Panasonic DMC-FZ5 (5.0 MP) - This is a great combination of oldschool pixellation and high quality optics, a somewhat large sensor, etc. High-end lo-fi!
Broken or given away cameras previously in my collection:
- Olympus Camedia C-150 (2.0 MP) - I loved using this for night photography, with its really powerful flash and the way the colours come out
- Polaroid PDC 2070 (2.1 MP) - this camera has a really crappy tiny lens and limited dynamic range (blown out highlights and everything else in fuzzy darkness)
- Canon Powershot A430 (4.0 MP) - my first digicam and the only one I owned when it was new, so I associate the look of pics from this camera with childhood. All the other digicams of this sort that I've owned were 15+ years old by the time I got hold of them.
