Last year I bought a vintage digital camera on eBay, the Kodak C300. It's like brand new and got it for a few dollars only.
It's a 15 years old digital camera with a 3 mpx CCD sensor with a 37mm equivalent lens at f/4.5
It works with normal AA batteries, so no problem to get batteries for it, because it's often the problem with old digital cameras, battery pack are sometimes hard to find.
I'Ve read an article a long time ago about a photographer who was using only old digital cameras because she liked the look of the small cheap sensor back then, it somehow gives some kind of analog look to the pictures because of all the imperfections, the soft lens and the noise from the sensor.
CCD sensors is the key here for the look, so you have to look for cameras from the early 2000's
This is the article if you're interested: https://www.dpreview.com/intervi…
Here's a few pictures I took this morning, I edited them in Adobe Camera RAW editor to make them feel more analog. No presets, i never use presets.
- Fuck yeahnb
- I’m thinking about a CCD Leica. But these oldies make beautiful images.nb

- You can go cheaper than a Leica, cheaper means more imperfections = more nostalgia feel :) If this is what you wantBennn

- just posted many pics in the threadBennn
- should the words 'vintage' and 'digital' be used together yet? ...especially regarding a camera? Still feels too new a format... or did I just become 'old'? o_oPonyBoy
- yes, vintage digital cameras is a thing. The first digital cameras from 1999~2005 are the first gen with ancient technology.Bennn
- Can be considered 'vintage' in the tech world wich move very fast, i thinkBennn
- Weirdly I still have my old Canon G1, a "prosumer" digital from 2000. It can get some pretty wacky grain if you abuse the light.evilpeacock
- Damn, I was gifted a super early digital camera in 1999, wasn’t even a megapixel resolutionfuturefood
- @ok Why the hell would you get rid of an M8?garbage
- Yes, totally a MQGA post!SimonFFM
- Nice Bennn, love the top and bottom shot. Anyone remember the Apple Quicktake from 1994? I think I still have it somewhere.fadein11

- Back when i was using Lomo LCA/Holga and other lo-fi film cameras I said that digital cameras should integrate such random film effects that could be selected..microkorg
- .. or could be randomised as you took the pic. I shouldve approached a camera company with the idea. Cos years later... lomo apps...microkorg
- ..film effect apps, instagram filters etc. Effects on cameras (before cameras were 'good' on smart phones) would've been massive i bet.microkorg
- Bennn, does it have to be old CCD cameras? There are some recent ones:drgs

- the old models make more 'crappy' pictures wich create interesting effect, recent camera are ''too good''Bennn
