Show your “Obsolete Camera” with photos made with it in the past few years!

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




Here are some images from yesterday:😎

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.

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

My beloved Nikkormat FTN (Thanks, Don!)🙂



It is one of my top three camera workhorses. It now has a 50mm/2.0 Auto H lens which is simply amazing!😎

Some images this year:

Neal, I love the box camera!!!🤗

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

Only bought this the other day, ccd sensor and wonderful lens. Really enjoying it, despite it taking about a week to process a raw file.
Seems to convert well to black and white too.

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,


All images taken in 2002 with EF 300mm f4 non IS.

Some more 995 goodness....from quite a few years ago.

The early Nikon Coolpix were very good for taking infrared shots. Unfortunately, I lost my Coolpix 950.

I very rarely use my Adox Golf I. When it comes to medium format, I like the waist level finder of my Rolleicord V more.

All of my cameras are probably obsolete, the most recent digital cameras I have were released in 2018, Nikon Z6 and Sony a7III. Steinheil Casca II with 5cm/2.8 Culimnar, September 2023

This pic was taken using my Canon S90 with CCD sensor. I still love this camera.

This is what I call my garage camera. I use it when I want a picture but don't want to wash my hands while working on stuff out in the garage.

It takes really decent shots for what it is. I have one my wife uses, and I have a few spares stashed under the monitor stand at my desk too.

I'm not hoarding them nor collecting them either. They come in handy when the grand kids come for a visit and want to take some pictures too.
These photos were taken with my obsolete Sony A7iii.
