What used cameras are yet to be ruined (pricewise) by Youtubers? Are digital 00s compacts next? Or huge early bodies like 1Ds Mk.I etc.?

Ruined list:
>5D Mk.II & D700 - used to be amazing value
>X-Pro1 - ”filmlike” sensor
>AE-1 - go-to meme zoomer film camera
>Contax T
>Canon M1 - Magic Lantern tricks
>G80/85 - filmmaking meme cam w/IBIS

The original x100 is kinda too shitty to be memed into being overpriced, even though it's a classic by today's standards.

one relatively popular channel could do it by themselves
how many used cameras of any type are available at one time anyway? unless it was super popular at the time there's probably less than 50 units on ebay
most of these cameras start off in the 100-300eur range before some youtube cuck starts pumping them so you could literally buy all of them up for around 15,000€
if this is your full time business that's nothing and the profits will be huge

Whenever I find a "decent when new" slimline point and shoot (Powershots and Coolpix mostly) at goodwill I buy it and throw it in a drawer. Now that photo software has gotten good enough to make even the most potato images look aesthetic, I'm positive they'll become collectibles eventually. The good ones were built like tanks and were pretty nice to use.

It seems like that will eventually be the case. I see that the prices of prosumer compacts from the late 2000s / early 2010s are much higher than they were a couple of years ago when you basically couldn't give away a compact camera.

Came with a 28-300 sigma lens, battery grip and four Nikon batteries, two chargers, three CF cards 2x2gb 1x4gb, and a back pack.

The RAW files are remarkably good, even at ISO 1600. Using light rooms upsampling to boost the files to 24 megapixels leaves me a bit awestruck. They look pretty damn good.

I’ve been doing alright with a Sony SLT-A37. I think most ‘beginner’ DSLRs from 2008-2011 are a steal now.

I haven’t bothered to upgrade from the Sony because:
> Sensor is more than I need
> A-mount lenses are cheap and the sensor based stabilisation makes 30-year old lenses like the beercan work
> Decent for video, I actually think that’s what Sony was going for (external mic, monitor out, continuous phase detect AF in video mode)

My main criticism is the sensor is too noisy above 3200 ISO to be useful, and really I don’t go above 800 because it’s noticeable. The rear screen isn’t very good, but the viewfinder is nice.

I pulled some shots off when I borrowed my friends Canon 100D, that’s what got me into photography, and honestly they still look sharp and nice. I saw a 100D in the used section of a camera shop for $100 AUD recently, couldn’t believe it.

Also early micro 4/3rds stuff is selling cheap I’ve noticed. I get the impression lots of people who sort-of liked taking pictures bought them for the portability, and now phone cameras are good enough for what they do that they’re selling their expensive toys. They’re proper little cameras, they can take nice pictures.

Full frame stuff and the like will always be expensive, gearheads who couldn’t afford it then will be happy to pay half price now and keep the cost high. Mid range and below, where manufacturers have to be competitive, is less coveted but no less capable.

It's not true for digital but it's definitely real with film cameras and vintage lenses. Some popular youtuber or instagrammer talks about some average film lens like it's a marvel of engineering and suddenly it goes from $20 to over $100 on Ebay within a few days.

You can get a 50-300mm f4.5 AIS constant aperture zoom lens from Nikon for less than $350.00 or less on Ebay.

It is the perfect budget full frame lens for video and for photo. Plus it is a 5x zoom lens that is relatively rare even for modern zoom lenses.

For some reason no one know knows about this lens and next to nothing has been posted on youtube.

+ something like a Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L will cost you $2500 to buy new and it is not even constant aperture.

Maybe it's that taint of 70s Leica that sticks around for the collectors. But M4-2s and M4-Ps have tripled in value.

Jap sellers of camera equipment are the worst, feels like any awesome descriptor short of “MINT+++ IN BOX” is a letdown if you zoom in on the photos or read the description. Even if there’s only two pluses or it says “EXCELENT+++” that’s not actually the case. Can’t tell if they’re deliberately being misleading or Japs just have lower standards. But for any Jap seller my advice to you all is look at the photos and read the description with a fine toothed comb.

And it’s a shame because I’m not a weeb and I hate anime but I have respect for the Japanese people. When our electronics and devices were made there they were made much better and with pride. They also have great culture and are racist. Can any native Japs here speak to these Jap sellers on eBay? What is the average Japanese peoples’ opinion of them, are they confined to eBay, or is that how your retailers/second hand shop owners are in general?

I also find it strange how there are like a million different sellers but they all follow the EXACT listing format and the pfp’s all look fake and the usernames random. Is this just some front run by the same organization or something?

The 60 AF-D is a phenomenal lens. I got one free because I got it and it had a tiny chip in the rear element that only shows up in extreme situations, super-close focus, wide open, light pointed straight at the lens. Makes bokeh balls look like absolute shit because it shows up in every single one of them, but it's such an outstanding use case to make it happen that it's nearly impossible. I sent example photos to the seller and got my $200 back (It wouldn't be worth it to ship back to Japan, and he wouldn't be able to sell it because the rear element is chipped) It practically lives on my F4 and D750 only sometimes getting replaced by a 35mm f/2 AI-S.

Are there any actually good photography youtubers? So far they're all "guys just get this absurdly expensive model camera for free from your sponsorships", or they take landscape shots then edit the shit out of them, or its pure gear.

Pain. It was a fluke. It was a 0 rep seller so I was hoping that maybe it was a dude just trying to make a quick buck selling his stuff but it was probably just a "lol rugpull and hope he doesn't dispute"

but that bottom image is by a reputed seller, still not a bad deal for a FF decent (but somewhat relatively old) camera with decent tech

Yeah that price seems right. I've noticed that people tend to inflate prices when bundling lenses with a body, as if they're doing you some kind of favor so you ought to pay a premium.

899 for that camera is still a great deal IMO.

holy shit are you me, that was the first camera i ever got, the only asterisk to this camera is that you definitely need a OIS lens for it to be great. but it is timeless in the fact that you could always hack it. i remember back in 2011 or so i picked it up for retail as a first camera getting into the hobby and it was great what video could get squeezed out of that thing. its still finnicky and clunky and the lack of up to date tech makes me wary on recommending it now but if you are on a strict budget its great

It was a very nice if slightly overpriced system at the time and still holds up. Features current shit is still trying to catch up to, a fair amount of pickles, smaller than vintage SLRs, often hand crampingly so. They're small and portable and any technical dickwaggling is also a benefit up to a point. Half second close ups wide open in shit light are possible but not ideal. Coming from older gen cropshit relative to when the mkii came out, it was like alien technology with the evf and all the features as standard instead of being a gimped piece of shit trying not to compete with the flagships. Olympus color is a matter of taste but that's what raws are for.

I second the 45/1.8, it's absolute bang for the buck and then some.

Is the Oly 25/1.8 better than the Pana 25/1.7? Because I find the latter lackluster in sharpness

Allegedly, and it has faster AF. It does get a little soft and vignette wide open. I think the best in class pana lens is the 20/1.7 because it's pancake territory.

>>4021346
The cheapo 40-150 is a piece of shit but it's also $60 and better than a lot of more expensive kit zooms.

you only lose out on buying native glass, because everything aside from the 50, 35-70, and 63 are way to expensive.
