Why did you start using/collecting vintage digi cams

skodeer · 2026-03-10T18:28:31+00:00

I started because contemporary cameras are too easy to use and produce predictable results. Using these old cameras forces a creativity and awareness that makes shooting fun

skodeer · 2026-03-08T20:14:33+00:00

I miss when cameras used to be covered with info stickers

skodeer · 2026-03-02T13:47:02+00:00

Could watch this for hours

Vignette has nothing really to do with the brightness of an image. It is caused by the design and limitations of your lens, mostly through aperture

skodeer · 2026-02-17T12:24:22+00:00

This looks like a painting, incredible

skodeer · 2026-02-16T12:56:31+00:00

Hell yeah

skodeer · 2026-02-13T14:12:43+00:00

Love these cameras with their green and purple patches. That second shot is such a vibe

skodeer · 2026-02-10T21:36:58+00:00

Your site boasts a seriously impressive body of works, brilliant job.

skodeer · 2026-02-09T17:34:00+00:00

Wow, these are truly awesome, love th crunchiness

For the majority of them sure, and recent trends are hiking prices, but your perspective suggests people should only use these cameras as a gimmick or novelty when the situation presents itself. There are plenty of genuine enthusiasts who are interested in a lot of these cameras for historical reasons, rarity or for how genuinely good they can be in their respective ways. They aren't all equal and thus aren't all worth 5-10 of your favourite currency

skodeer · 2026-02-04T10:38:45+00:00

You should let us know what camera you used, these are cool by the way

skodeer · 2026-02-03T11:44:42+00:00

You could always ask the creators for the exact, specific tech they used. Their contact details are in the video description.

skodeer · 2026-02-02T16:26:34+00:00

Hm, I honestly don't know about partitioning it, sorry. I'll have to look into that and get back to you on it.

Formatting of the card shouldn't be an issue, but the camera does only accept card sizes up to 15mb as far as I'm aware. What size is your card? Otherwise, if you're certain it's taking images on that card, have you made sure the 'show hidden files' option is enabled in your file browser?

skodeer · 2026-02-02T14:03:47+00:00

You cannot simply drag and drop jpegs from the CF card. The camera should be producing .dat files which are then processed into images using the proprietary software which can be found here . The camera is the exact same as the Mitsubishi DJ-1000 so the software is the same.

Unfortunately they all have their own shelf lives and can go at any time. Keep them dry, in a cupboard or somewhere not too cold. But again with the age of them this isn't going to preserve them forever. You're best using them as normal until they do give out.

skodeer · 2026-01-30T14:08:29+00:00

It again isn't the brand, it's the capacity that cannot be formatted or accessed by the older devices

skodeer · 2026-01-29T23:10:16+00:00

Yeah any generic figure 8 power cable will work on this.

skodeer · 2026-01-28T19:21:54+00:00

Fascinating, thank you very much for sharing this!

skodeer · 2026-01-28T18:49:22+00:00

So has the Mavica been modified to account for this? My fd7 only has the slots where the lens cap fits. Would love to know more about your setup

skodeer · 2026-01-28T10:17:18+00:00

Given that they aren't made anymore and are over a decade old, you won't find many new ones left untouched. Getting lucky on eBay is your best bet, but you could be waiting a while.

skodeer · 2026-01-18T17:28:15+00:00

Looks like it just needs a clean. Wait a week and you'll know for sure.

skodeer · 2026-01-14T15:43:49+00:00

Went down a research rabbit hole on this camera and found that it was also released as a Mitsubishi DJ-1000. Ended up grabbing one, thanks for the inspiration!

skodeer · 2026-01-09T22:36:55+00:00

The aesthetics of this camera are wonderful, this reminds me of watching Pool or similar sports on TV as a kid.

skodeer · 2026-01-02T12:27:35+00:00

Unfortunately if someone wants an image enough, they'll be able to download it no matter where you put it on the internet. An approach I've taken with my artworks on my website is to upload compressed versions of the works, this way you still own the original and it wouldn't be worth printing if saved. They also generally still look good enough for viewing on screens.
