My Family's 2010s Digital Camera (Canon EOS 1000D/Rebel XS) [feat. my Paper Dolls]
DeviantART version β [CLICK ME!]
Hello, May! πβοΈ Unfortunately, I cannot continue my upcoming and latest "PC Upgrade Project". The good news was, that I've already worked on it, but I need to adjust the size for the comparison, as well as splitting it into two videos instead of one to reduce memory size, and even timing the subtitles (which is important for the latter). So, my plan was to be submitted by July of 2024. On the bright side, I have another item review that has yet to be revealed, this June. π Nonetheless, onto my month's share. π
BREAKING NEWS: Just recently, yesterday [on May 30th, 2024] my current Power Supply Unit blew up, making my custom PC desktop useless without any power source! π₯π¨ As of today, We send it to the "Computer Repair Shop" for a replacement. π₯οΈπ§π Ouch! Luckily, it was fixed the next day, as in TODAY! And I cost a lot from my earning funds. Double ouch! π΅π€ So, that topic deserves another month, I suppose...
Now, onto my topic...
β’ So, another camera from my parent's shelves, and it's the latest abandoned camera, as of 2024. The "Canon EOS 1000D" ππΈ, also known as the "EOS Rebel XS" is a DSLR camera that debuted in June 2008. This old professional camera possessed a 10.1-megapixel camera, a detachable lens like other DSLR cams do, and a whole bunch of features that only professional DSLR cam photographers could understand. Also, unlike the Sony Cybershot's exclusive "Sony" Memory Stick for photo storage, Canon uses the universal SD Card to store photos, on any memory brand used such as Sandisk, Transcend, Lexar, etc... For megapixels comparison, the 90s Olympus Camedia C-2000 Z has "2.1", the previous topic of Sony DSC-T70 has "8.1", and what about the "Focus-35"? Well, let's say it's not as level as the 90s Olympus camera that we've owned. π€π€·ββοΈ
β’ So, do you have a story about this camera? Well, there's one I remembered, and it's based on the true story. βππ I was 18 years old (late adolescence, may I add) while I was in High School in the year 2011 (3rd year High School). I went to a local 7-Eleven store when I saw a raffle promo poster. For the prize? A bunch of awesome stuff, including the Canon camera itself (the EOS Rebel XS). And since I'm 18, I'm qualified the participate by buying consumed-related stuff from the aforementioned convenience store daily. After the promo ended and my 3rd year of High School ended, a rider came to our house to receive a letter from 7-Eleven, only to find out that my father was the winner of the promo instead of me, and I was shocked. π² Damn... That winning camera should've been ME, and I used this cool camera to pursue my future career as a professional photographer; which sadly, did not happen. π₯ Regardless, in the end, I'm happy that my father won the prize, so I have to congratulate him. ππ And the rest was history, we have SO MANY photo moments that we've shared on our main social media(s), unlike our previous digicams. We've been using it for a few years, until 2018(?) (as far as I know). When the camera itself started to get old, bugs were unbeknownst inside the lens (seriously, where did that come from? π), and the built-in flash was unable to work properly. Making use of itself. Also, the repair cost for our camera was expensive, so we can't afford it. π΅π¬ Yup, another camera bites the dust (I guess). π₯ And so, we've decided to switch to smartphone cameras over our bulky DSLR camera. π±β‘π· After all, the cams from smartphones we're superior to those before depending on what brand we've used. Plus, it is ultra-portable, too.
β’ For ME, however, I would love to use the traditional digicams (big or small) over smartphones because it had a superior quality image over modern phones. π·β‘π± Yeah, Apple and Samsung had overtaken, but true camera brands like Canon, Nikon, and Fujifilm (the trio of Japanese camera brands π―π΅π·. Don't forget Sony, by the way.) are already stronger than before; innovate after innovate for the professional photographers and content vloggers. The big boy cameras never gets old, and they're still producing them, to this very day. πΈπ₯π However, with the rise of "Action Cameras" (not to mention Flying Camera Drones") will soon be surpassed, in the digital image industry. So, I'm not sure who'll die first. We may never know...π€
β’ On the plus side, my paper dolls appreciate my story. So, here's my final moment before I put this cool memorable DSLR Camera on the wardrobe. ππ·πΈ
Well, that's all for now! And do you have any good "item" memories from the 2000s to 2010s, like mine? Type it down in the reply section! π

Title: Another 90s Camera: Olympus Camedia C-2000 Z
DeviantART Version [CLICK ME!]
Hello, January! Sorry for the long delay, though. Because I have a lot of things that happened at the beginning of 2024. And GOOD NEWS, I've bought something that makes my PC bring back to LIFE, after 7 months of being inactive (since Jun 9th, 2023)! π₯οΈπ§π Although I'm still working on the topic, maybe I'll submit it this Feb 2024! π
Right now, it's time for my 1st throwback item share of 2024, with this neat-old camera (as my improvise).π
β’ Here's another '90s camera, this is the Olympus Camedia C-2000 Z π· inherited from my late grandpa named Jim, who passed away on Jun 6th, 2020 owing to complications, as well as the victim of the COVID-19 virus. Once again, R.I.P, grandpa Jim. πβ±οΈπ₯ Believe it or not, I used this '90s camera for submitting on dA, back in Jan 2010. ππΈπΌοΈ
Here are my snapshots from the 2010s, so far using the 90s Olympus cam:
β Jan. 4th, 2010 #1 - [CLICK ME!]
β Jan. 4th, 2010 #2 - [CLICK ME!]
β Jan. 19th, 2010 - [CLICK ME!]
BTW:
#1: All these three we're stored to my dA private storage, but at least I've already posted on tumblr, couple of years ago.
(and) #2: Also, picturing & submitting these photos on whole "January" calendar was utterly coincidence. ππΈ
1st & 2nd Image(s) [took photos on Jan 19th, 2023]: β
β’ Anyways, the 90s Olympus cam possessed 2.1 megapixels of camera π·βοΈ, which was pretty clear & and crisp at the time. However, as of 2024, it is considered a pretty low megapixel that no other modern high-quality companies make that, anymore. π€·ββοΈ Except for cheap gadgets, of course. And when you compare to your (flagship/mid-range) smartphones π±/digital cameras π· that possessed a whopping 150+ Megapixels, and sometimes 200+ megapixels for the Pro-DSLR camera brands π·πΌοΈ speaks volumes to the consumers. It was simply an evolution of the camera lens. Today, like the brick phones from the 90s, the 90s cameras we're now a relic status of the past, meaning no one's using them, anymore due to outdated hardware. They now act as a throwback collection, which simply refuses to throw the trash π―, like this ancient 90s Olympus camera. π·π«³ But hey, if your 90s camera still functions, then you're lucky to used it, but please be careful. π
β’ So, what about the "Olympus" π―π΅π· brand? What happened? Are they still producing cameras? π€ Well, according to "quora.com", quote "Olympus has announced in June 2020 that it is selling its camera division to Japan Industrial Partners (JIP) and will exit the camera business altogether. The sale to JIP was completed in January 2021, and the new company created from the sale is called OM Digital Solutions." This means the Olympus camera brand is already off the camera wars; with Canon, Sony, and other Japanese camera brands still running the camera business. However, the Smartphone cameras became more advanced than the old-style digital cams. Here's hoping, that the digit cams will have the same treatment, or maybe still be around in case the smartphone's camera pixels weren't enough, in terms of the raw image.π·π€
3rd & 4th Image(s) [Took photos on Jan 29th, 2024]: β
β’ Uh yeah, I forgot that the camera includes a soft case fitting for this model. And look, my paper dolls were delighted to see a throwback camera & they wanted a snapshot using it. ππΈ Yeah, but it's no longer working π·β, and I tried (using 4 Eneloop AA Batteries) πππππ€·ββοΈ. So much so, that I decided to pretend to take snapshots with the old cam while taking photos with my actual camera from my current smartphone (Honor 8C). Was that a coincidence? π€ I'm not so sure π
, but they're delighted. π
Well, thatβs the end of my topic, more things to come this 2024. π
