youtu.be/QTjNZCvNWrM In this video I look at a retro digital camera that MaxMango sent to me! 📷👍 It has no preview screen in the style of a disposable camera, but offers benefits of digital. Expect details, sample photos, and I even opened the camera to see inside. 🔍 #Camera #Photography #MaxMango

When I remember to push a set of CSV imports to Pinterest, I browse what's there. All of it is on Instagram but it doesn't have the weight of seeing photos listed like this. I'd like to continue that chronological project I started the Insta account with. I might continue the 1:1 ratio edits.

Maxmango provided a hex-type screwdriver with the D53 camera. It's meant for the setting button plate but it works perfect with the 4 screws holding the camera together. Looks like the camera will be pretty easy to swap the battery in the future! Very cool!

youtu.be/-cVFCAIgr5o Sunpak sent me a tripod at no cost to unbox and try out. The unique features of this tripod are the "pistol grip" head as well as the crank styled geared inner shaft that gives fine adjustment. In this video I take a detailed look at it. #Sunpak #CameraTripod

There's a good chance I'll be sent another interesting camera to try out for a stream and overview video. I haven't had a chance to use one of these digital cameras that mimic a disposable camera, but I like the concept! Looking forward to trying it out.

Kodak Charmera ND/VND test in photo mode and VNC webcam mode. In photo there's a loss of detail overall. Could be my cheap filters, or something else going on in the camera even though EXIF data doesn't change in the files. VNC with an ND8 filter also has a loss in detail while saving highlights.

This Viltrox H18 seems to have an issue with charging. I had measured the original AC adapter's voltage which seemed fine, but I ordered a replacement. Sadly that one doesn't appear to work at all. I might disassemble the light on stream out of curiosity.
