A Digital Camera Photographed with a Film Camera
Image by Arty Smokes (deaf mute)
It’s become a reflex action now. Every time I put some film in an old camera, I take a couple of shots of my digital for reasons of irony, as well as for testing.
This was one of the first shots I took with my Canon EOS 1000FN with the crappy kit lens. As I’ve written elsewhere, I’m not very impressed with the results. The camera body of the Canon is fine (lightweight and comfortable to hold) with a good range of functions, but the picture quality is no better than a cheap point n’ shoot. With a prime lens I’m sure it would be fine, but I simply can’t justify the expense of buying one.
The Fujifilm Finepix s5800 in the photo still gets plenty of use, but I’m definitely leaning towards using 35mm for most of my snapshots.
The print of this image is significantly milkier than this scan. Not sure why.

Lens: Canon EF 35-80mm 1:4-5.6 III
