Throwback Edit Version: I edited this in May 2025, checked the links and converted it to the new WordPress blocks format if needed.

I am on holiday right now, so I have more free time. I got lots of films developed all at once, but now I am struggling to figure out which camera goes with which film, oops. I am sure I have got it right, but I should have been a little more patient or taken a selfie with me holding the camera. I started to do that, then got lazy. I really do need to slow down a little with this camera testing obsession.

Well, anyway, for this camera I decided to use a whole film in one shop…just to see if I could. I would have to pick a good shop and one where they do not mind photos being taken. Hello Pokemon Mega Store!

Here is the camera.

And here are the photos…there will be more details after this photo intermission.

Yeah, Pokémon!

Ok, so I’d better write about the camera a little. This is a quite recent camera from 2002. You can read all about the specifications on this website. Unfortunately, I didn’t find much online about it. This version looks stunning with the brushed aluminium and it’s really quiet. It is one of the quietest cameras I have used recently. That made it perfect for taking photos inside a shop. It has a massive zoom 38-145 as the name suggests, though I did not need the zoom inside the shop. There is another version with a wooden style trim.

Keep or sell: I have put it on eBay, but if it doesn’t sell, I am tempted to keep it…but it did sell.
