Kodak ZI8.

Man, that takes me back. Remember when Flip cameras were all the rage for what, two or three years there, before “smartphones” really took over? I had a Kodak one that had jelly video like crazy but it could do 720p! Used it quite a bit lol.
>>
>>4483080
The ZI8 had a few advantages over the Flip
>1080p instead of 720p
>Used SD cards instead of internal memory
>Mic jack
>Image stabilization (whatever that consisted of)
I remember I had a "rig" for mine that consisted of a cheap "L" bracket with a couple of cold-shoe mounts that I used for the mic and for an external light.

Yeah, it was an interesting time. Smartphones were around, but they hadn't completely taken over. And even then, the cameras on them were just "okay." So to get full HD in something that fit in your pocket AND was under $200 was pretty cool.

That's not due to any export setting.
Instagram often just likes to not show the full (Instagram) resolution of images when you view them. Sometimes it "pops in" after a short while, but it has nothing to do with your local connection. It is insta deciding not to give your images bandwidth.
>>
>>4488784
I had the same problem. Instagram seems to be optimized for phones (as it was originally designed to be a platform for phone pictures) So if you use high format pictures those appear bigger and in higher resolution on the phone. Anything else will get compressed to shit and only be shown very small naturally.

I'm gonna attend a wedding on saturday and i want to shoot some film. It's an african wedding, so there will be loads of bright colors and warm hues. I shoot with a Point and shoot camera (pentax iqzoom), but i own a SLR (Nikon fg 20). I have never shot with an slr camera, and i have no clue how they work. But i reckon the pictures look better on an slr. I have two dilemmas at hand
>I don't know which film stock is good for capturing warm hues
>I don't know if i should try out the slr camera (or if i should play it safe)

i want to capture something reminiscent of picrel

>I think it will be pretty well lit inside,
NTA. Don't be fooled. Even pretty heavy indoor lighting is nowhere near the LV of the outdoors.
Indoors with film I'm normally pushing HP5 to 800 at minimum and realistically to 1600 (but I think it looks kind shit pushed two stops).
At 800 ISO I'm only just in a "safe" shutter speed range to avoid camera shake and I need to ask people to stay still for photos indoors.

400 ISO film is absolute minimum for indoors and I'd be pushing that one stop anyway. If you're using colour film then fagghedaboudit
>>
>>4488946
Portra and Lomo 800 work fine indoors, if a bit grainy. But pushing hp5 will make the grain apparent too.

Didnt understand half of that but what I got is
>get 400 iso
I dont really like the look of kodak ultramax 400 though. It doesn't look warm, and it doesnt have that "film" look
>>4488953
I have decided to use the point anf shoot so i dont think i can make adjustments like that.

I need to finalize what kind of film I'll be using because im going to buy it later today. Ektar100 or kodak gold is what i am considering right now

Last Sunday I went to a flea market and saw a Rikoh 500 RF film camera for 20€ in good condition and it still worked perfectly, was I dumb for not buying it? I've been wanting to get into film photography but isn't film + developing very expensive?

B&W film + at home development is not too expensive. With a cheap camera it will take you many many rolls worth of cost before buying a digital of similar quality will "save" you money.

Continuous LED lights are terrible for photography.
This is an approximate $2400 600watt continuous LED light.
At a distance of 2 meters, it can manage 1/60 iso400 f8 at full power.
That converts to f4.8 iso400 1/200 if you wanted to get up to a barely usable photography shutter speed.
And if you want to go down to iso 100, you are now around f2.8

So $2500 gets you something barely usable on your lowest settings at approx 2 meters, any further distance and it wont work.

And if you want to use any modifier at all its all over and you wont even be able to have enough light for a photo.

In before just shoot at iso 1600, no thanks, im not spending $2400 just to have to use iso1600.

Thought the off camera shooting was going to be a gimmick - a fun one, but a gimmick nonetheless
It's not.
It's THAT good even with a rather small range of 18m.
Just by holding it in your second hand you can get so much creative control.
A cheap selfie stick with a tripod and maybe an offbrand diffuser will genuinely let you have studio quality light for incredibly cheap and rather small package.

I print a lot. So i spend a lot of time looking at the details of each photo. especially if they're hanging on my wall.
that being said, i have a conundrum which, surprisingly, isn't well covered on the internet:

>would you say a leica monochrom, or a medium format (with more bits and more sensor real estate) would produce better black and white images?

The Monochrom is cool and I'd like to try it sometime. But it's just way too expensive to justify. You can buy a Pentacon Six with a Carl Zeiss lens for $200 and 200 rolls of bw film including development and scanning ($20/roll) for the same price as the Leica without no lens. Double that if you develop yourself, which is half the fun with bw anyway.

mostly wanted to experiment with the 'natural' setting on the K10D
I think I used -2 saturation, 0 contrast, +1 sharpening but I adjusted it here and there
I also played with color correction in the WB but it wasn't too great

If it's like $20 yes, otherwise no.

Also, sort ebay listings by 'for parts'. A lot of cameras listed as broken aren't actually broken and are just missing a battery or something. Hypesters trying to buy digishits aren't smart or brave enough to buy the sketchy ones.

that's the fucking secret to phone-like focal lengths. (there's a reason why 28mm looks like snapshits - because it's the snapshit focal length every teenage girl uses on her iphone)

>>4488750
If you go wide, shoot wide subjects or get close as >>4488753 said. Seaside shots as well as in-car shots are two examples that benefit from proper wides.
>>
>>4488753
>>4488756
Word, I'll creep up closer. Or shoot wide landscapes. Also the wider lenses for this camera are expensive. If I can't make 28mm work I'll probably just go back to shooting 50 and 135.
>>
>>4488725
i'll see you in court.
>>
>>4488750
Get 28mm vision in your mind.
It usually can be acquired by getting closer to subject and observing the environment before shootong.

Wide angles are difficult because our vision is usually much narrower.

But some dudes mentioned about
>muh zooming with your feet
It's a meme. If you make a change in the distance between camera and the subject, you will get different result. It just doesnt work.
On this matter, i recommend to think of composition based on the distance between you and the subject, rather than focal lengh of your lens and the subject.
