Apparently, all my cameras are “obsolete”, now. But I am using every single one except for the obvious parts cameras stuck back in a drawer. 🙂

Here is a fun camera that I am using for B&W work, and I find it useful to use for preview ahead of a planned shoot or even as a stand alone.

Nikon 995

I bought a Sony DSC S70 in 2000. I carried it with me when I lived in Mexico from 2000 until 2003. The color of the captures is excellent and he lens, Zeiss under license, was good. A point-and-shoot with built-in flash. It was, and is, a good camera.

Here is a link about the camera: Sony DSC-S70 Review

Here are some pics by this little sweetie: Mexico

This one is not really cool, just a box, but really obsolete. Kodak Bullseye #2 Model D from about 1898. I use 120 film with adaptors. I'm in the process of shooting an abandoned 1898 church with it now.

And actually, that Coolpix is really cool.

Neal, I love the box camera!!!🤗

The Coolpix 995 really surprises me every single time I use it!

I shot a lot of pictures with my Coolpix 995. It was my first digital camera and really got me 'into' photography since I'd never been able to afford to shoot film much.
And yes, I still have it though haven't shot it in more than 15 years or so.

Just over 23 years ago, my first DSLR, the Canon D30. Still have it with all original packing and accessories. Just turned it on after at least 5 or 6 years (had to charge a battery first) and it is fully functioning, even shows correct date and time thanks to replaceable button cell,
