Olympus camera retro look series#
The original X100 and subsequent models in the series are such great cameras for people who love film because they’re all characterized by some very “film camera-like” features. In an early 2011 writeup, DPReview described the X100 as “…a firm favorite in the dpreview offices.” Adding that “Its drop-dead gorgeous looks and excellent build make it a camera that begs you to pick it up and take it out with you,” and later describing the image quality of its 12.3 MP APS-C sized CMOS sensor as “…nothing short of superb.” When the original Fujifilm X100 debuted at Photokina in late 2010, it made a massive splash. The writers and I decided to sit down and brainstorm which five digital cameras currently selling today are best for those of us who love film cameras. It’s also hard to argue against the speed and efficiency of the digital workflow (there’s a reason all of the product shots here and in my camera shop are made with digital machines, after all). While many digital cameras seem bland and, as stated, disposable, there does exist a handful of really phenomenal digital cameras that not only make amazing images, but also feel like the classic mechanical cameras that we love so dearly. Film cameras are creations from a time when physical mechanisms drove the world, and it’s rare to find such haptic joy in the modern era in which consumer goods are often thought of as disposable, or at least inevitably replaceable.Īll of that said, there’s no denying that we also love certain digital cameras. But I think most of the writers here appreciate and maybe even prefer film cameras for one very specific reason – they feel incredible. At Casual Photophile, we love film cameras for many reasons notably their historical significance, their ability to make world-class images, and their low cost compared to their digital counterparts.
