Using a 2009 Cybershot on a Shoot with Chelsea (Patreon)

Last week I decided to use this Sony cybershot DSC-T90 on a shoot with Chelsea.

I actually bought this for my son a few years back, he used it a little at first, but after a little while got disinterested, probably too young anyway, I tried. 

It’s one of those first all touch screen control, and it sucks. Far far from the iPhone smooth touch action. (Yes the iPhone is the best touch screen of all time ;) )

It’s also stripped from all manual controls. The first cybershot I tried, the P100, had manual controls and dated a few years back. I’m sure at one point they just decided to cut all manual controls because these cameras were aimed at the point and shoot casual market. However the image quality got better, iso performance got stronger, and this is still a CCD censor. 

On this shoot I used lots of different types of Polaroid like you saw previously, the X-PRO2, this digicam and another one I didn’t introduce yet. Shooting these digicams was in some way trying to “replace” roll film I didn’t use on this session. I also wanted to try these cameras during a shoot badly. More on replacing film on another post. 

When there is enough lighting, the quality is pretty good, for real I still think this is better than recent phone cameras, not a big fan of computational photography anyway. 

This camera is super slim tho, 16mm, a true pocketable size that don’t create a bulge in your pants like you‘re happy to see me. :)

Again, the touch screen controls is a deal breaker, good thing at least the shutter button is still real. This isn’t an in depth review anyway, I’m just sharing my experience with it. Love shooting black and white with these digicams tho. 

You be the judge, what do you think of these photos?
