How to choose an entry-level second-hand camera?

Fool camera, also called PS camera, is the common name of pocket camera. It turns out that this camera is very simple to operate, and it seems that even a fool can use it to take photos with accurate exposure and clear images. In addition to simple operation, the "fool camera" has the characteristics of small size, light weight and low price, so it is also the most popular home photography tool in the world.

It is very suitable for entry-level use, and many entry-level fool cameras are also very affordable because of their large quantity.

Before buying, you must be familiar with the selection skills. At present, because film cameras are almost no longer produced, the platforms you usually start with are second-hand trading platforms such as idle fish, which is very difficult.

Selection skill

When choosing a fool machine, you must first think about whether it is suitable for you. There are also some highly hyped fool machines, such as Fuji's Moonlight Machine, Kangtai's T3, Leica minilux zoom, etc., all of which have been hyped to 4,000 to 10,000 yuan. The positioning of the fool machine must be willing to take it out for use, not as a decoration.

After selecting the machine and getting it, you must test it. Never confirm it as soon as you get it. Some hidden problems can't be tried out at once. Personally, it is best to use a roll of film for testing. First of all, install the prepared battery and test whether the LCD screen is intact. Second, you can test whether the built-in flash can work. If it is a zoom lens, you should also test whether the zoom mechanism is complete. If all the functions are completed, the film can be loaded at this time. This film, preferably scrap film, is used to test whether the film loading mechanism is in good condition, and then the film rewinding mechanism is tested after 36 shots are taken. If all the above tests are good, we can load a normal roll of film (it is recommended to split it in black and white, and the cost is relatively low, so we can develop it ourselves), go out and develop it again to see if the exposure test is accurate. If it is a high-end fool machine, it should also be tested at the same time. If all the tests are completed, there will be no problem. Then you can confirm the receipt.

After learning the selection skills, I recommend several cheap and easy-to-use entry second-hand flicker machines.

Canon lightning price: 200~500

There are many models of Little Thunderbolt series. Personally recommend Super 130 and Super 155. These two cameras are very light in weight, and they integrate good autofocus and flash effects. Because the fool machine doesn't have any parameters that can be set manually, you can shoot it by raising your hand. I won't miss a moment. Moreover, the aluminum alloy shell has brought him unparalleled reliability and durability.

Samsung fino series price 100~300

Samsung's camera is very small, but at the same time it is very big, about 100 yuan, so we can choose a machine with very good color. This series was released around the Millennium. Its lens focal length is 38~90mm, which contains almost all the commonly used focal lengths. Its aspherical lens ensures excellent image clarity, and its focusing system also ensures certain usability.

Olympus U2 series? 500~ 1000

The predecessor of μ-2 is μ- 1, which is very popular with tourists in the world. μ- 1 Because of its stylish and compact appearance and good imaging quality, it has become the largest selling pocket camera in the world. A few years later, OLMPUS introduced the improved μ-2 of μ- 1. Compared with the previous generation, the size of μ-2 is smaller, but a more powerful 35/2.8 lens is used. In order to be more suitable for high-level photography, it even added a metering function.
