i bought mine for like 30 bucks on the goodwill auction site. it shoots 480p which is easy to edit and doesn’t require a lot of storage space and it has an aesthetic that i just think is neat. bring it with you everywhere and record interesting things you see or do. when you have enough footage edit it into a video. make it funny, post it unlisted on youtube and send it to your friends to make them laugh.
Vintage stills and film cameras are cool, but this kids video camcorder has unironically found its way into my collection of cameras. I’m serious, I actually use this. It’s so fun, the quality has this weird 2000s vibe and feels like one of those millennial home movies.
Modern cameras are marvelous and one of the most beautiful ways to demonstrate something visually. However if you want to not only show something, but capture a feeling and memory, there’s nothing better than the earthly feel of an old camera.
when i was a kid we always had time warner cable boxes that had digital clocks on them and i would always look to those to check the time. having a fixed point in a space to look at and instantly know the time is goated. i would check my phone but idk where i put that fuckin thing
