Cameras

I like cameras, especially old digital cameras, film cameras, and weird cameras. I am still learning photography, but these are some cameras I use, like, or would love to own.

This page uses small pictures so it does not take a long time to load on a slow connection like dial-up. Click a picture to open a larger version.

Canon PowerShot SX10 IS

This is the camera I use. It was used the most by my dad, he made a lot of great pictures with it, although it's not an expensive camera, or one that people would more commonly use. It has a 10 megapixel CCD sensor and a 20x optical zoom, from 28mm to 560mm equivalent.

The CCD is one of the things I like about it. It is an older kind of sensor, which I believe can give pictures a little bit of grain to give them film or retro qualities

Cameras I'd like


Nikon D7000

An older DSLR that I think would be fun to use. Good sensor, interchangeable lenses, and lots of real buttons and dials.

125x optical zoom. 24-3000mm equivalent. Completely ridiculous.


Sony Mavica

A digital camera that saves pictures onto normal 3.5 inch floppy disks. This is probably one of my favourite weird camera ideas.


Casio Exilim EX-F1

A weird old Casio that could take up to 60 pictures per second and record very slow-motion video.


Pentax K-01

A very strange looking mirrorless camera designed by Marc Newson. It uses Pentax K-mount lenses.

Film cameras


Nikon FM2

A mechanical 35mm camera. Lots of gears, springs, dials and other nice old camera stuff.


Canon AE-1

One of the classic Canon film cameras. Old, simple, and very nice.

Another classic 35mm camera, but with more electronics than the FM2.

Very old photography


Autochrome

Lumière camera

[ learn more about Autochrome ]

Autochrome was one of the first practical colour photography processes. It was introduced in 1907 and used glass plates. The colours came from tiny coloured starch grains in the plate.

I think this is absolutely amazing considering how old it is.


Other cameras

There are tons of other cameras I would like to try. Some are normal, some are crazy, some are very old, and some are just completely strange.
