Digicams: the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P100 (Patreon)

Hey guys, recently I have been hunting for Digicams, aka digital cameras from the late 90s and before around 2010. 

Apparently In Japan, Digicams are the New Film

Vigorous discussions can be found online regarding the specific niche characteristics of older CCD sensors found in low-resolution digital cameras dating back to the late 1990s. Many claim these early models, most of which predate 2010, have a more “filmic” quality than those found in modern offerings. There is a fast-growing community of digicam enthusiasts who are either film photographers looking for a less expensive option or those who have grown tired of the sometimes too perfect and clinical look produced by more modern gear. 

So, yeah, you know I like to explore and try "new" stuff, + film is expensive and lately not so accommodating for me, so here we are.

This is the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P100 from 2004 with it's massive 5.1MP, 256mb memory stick, and it's glorious 1.8 inch LCD monitor:

This is the first one I ended up buying, it's in very good condition and belonged to a nice little old lady who took very good care of it, it looks practically new.

Searching for these on marketplace I actually have a few rules; must be not too far for my house and needs to be somewhat affordable, like I'll think about it if it goes more than 20$ and needs to be in rather good condition because as you can see I'll be actually using them.

The gallery above features just a few photos testing the camera around the house, however in the next post I actually made some street photography with it, don't miss it!
