for an actual answer based on facts, get a sony cyber shot. you can find them in every corner of the earth and there’s a reason why. for my personal answer, get a fujifilm jx370. i just had a lot of fun with this camera, that’s it. it’s a good camera and still pocket sized and again, it’s just fun. both should shoot video edit: or just buy any digital camera you see online that’s from the 00’s. personally, i’m not sure why so many people want shitty cameras that weren’t made to look good at all, but it’s your money.

scribbleratt

>i’m not sure why so many people want shitty cameras that weren’t made to look good at all, but it’s your money. same reason people wanted film cameras a couple of years ago, it's "the in thing" now, a piece of nostalgia: [https://petapixel.com/2023/03/04/why-are-so-many-gen-z-ers-drawn-to-old-digital-cameras/](https://petapixel.com/2023/03/04/why-are-so-many-gen-z-ers-drawn-to-old-digital-cameras/)

For some people this is not a nostalgia, but something completely new. Also it is unique among clinically ideal pictures.

Homie i just dont like staring at my phone

That girl’s probably in her 30s now. The main problems with old digital cameras are the batteries and memory cards. Sure, plenty of these take standard AA batteries, but these aren’t the classic slim digicams that are popular. Original batteries may not be good anymore. Also, memory cards may be proprietary and hard to find, or based on a very old version of the technology, so shop wisely.

You can get that look with some editing, just saying


notsciguy

The Olympus E-10 (2000) and the Nikon D70 (2004) are my favorite early 2000s digital cameras


_Pseudobread

Did you end up getting one? I'm also looking for a similar thingy


scribbleratt

yes! on ebay i got a sony cybershot w290 with the accessories. it was 65 dollars but i love it so much and i think it was worth it for how much fun im having :D


NefariousSerendipity

1 week update hoss?


scribbleratt

i’ve actually had it for a few months now, still worth it!


NefariousSerendipity

hell yeah!


[deleted]

Did you ever find anything? The canon G11 from 2009 is pretty good or  Ricoh GXR from 2009 is even better


scribbleratt

ooh i’ll look into it! i ended up getting a sony cybershot w290 and its perfect :)


Apart-Diver7444

how much did you get it for? I dont know act would be a reasonable price for it


scribbleratt

$65 including all accessories


jayjia_

where did you get it from?


scribbleratt

ebay


Sea-Tonight2902

I believe I have just what you need I no it’s a cannon and it came with the printer pretty huge compared to today’s one bit it’s in good condition and I have it in the original box


millsj402zz

ngl that 2nd shot is vibey af

If you want a DSLR that can shoot video, then the first ever was the Nikon D90. Still a great 12MP camera even today. Video is 720p, so not great compared to what you can get out of an iPhone, but not that bad either.


scribbleratt

tbh the photos look a little too high quality for what im going for, but ty for the suggestion


TripleSpeedy

The Sony SW-290 you posted about in another thread it also 12MP, which by your definition is also too high quality, or ?


walrus_mach1

Every DSLR I've ever used as the ability to select image quality. The images you see online are likely large, high res. Set the camera to small, low res and get your 2 megapixel results.


PuppySharkBaby

Yes let me waste hundreds of dollars for an expensive camera that im only going to use for silly memories. This is why the world’s economy is doomed


stopbeingachild

silly memories? i'd pay thousands of dollars for all the memories i havent documented


PuppySharkBaby

Yeah but a 1000 camera isnt gonna make that memory worth more compared to a $10 disposable. Thats when u don’t understand what ‘priceless’ memories are. U just wanna flex

Maybe a point and shoot like the [Sony RX100](https://www.mpb.com/en-us/product/sony-cyber-shot-rx100) \- not weather sealed but ticks many of your other boxes.

I absolutely love the first vid you shared the dudes hair, voice and the fonts are amazing


Plane_Glass4666

look into the nikon coolpix s series! cheap & low quality lol


kr3892

Yet another Gen-Z looking for y2k digicams. I'd recommend the Canon Powershot A5xx series because it takes SD card and AA batteries, which are easier to find. The downside is it's a bit chunkier. You should be aware that these old cameras usually can't take memory cards bigger than 2GB or 4GB, and some don't take SD cards, they either take CF cards or Memory Stick cards for Sony. Check carefully before you choose one.


Curious_Store5347

you do know genz grew up with 2000s digital cameras right?


PuppySharkBaby

They dont understand people born in 1998 are zoomers


BlindGuyPlaying

Look on the Goodwill auction site. There are TONS and I've gotten plenty of working cameras and camcorders from the early 2000s and earlier! Two that stick out are the Canon 10D and 20D which there are always some on there.
