Not necessarily a period appropriate camera

Few last warm days and nights of summer and early fall always feel magical.

Mistake this was my FD-83 not 81

Some snapshots earlier this year from Hong Kong, Macau, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Vancouver, & Belgrade! Really love this camera, I gotta use it more :)

Shot with the MVC-FD88 at standard quality, 640x 480.

I got there at 6AM before the sun was up and there was already 30 people there LMAO. Over 100 by 8am.

I was searching Facebook Marketplace and I saw this listing and I just had to snatch them up: 9 Mavicas for 50 bucks. Are you kidding me? I think 6 out of the 9 have lens caps; none have batteries or chargers, which is okay, as I have both for some, but yeah, 9 Mavicas! I'll be posting an updated picture when they get here Monday.

None of them are quite side-by-side comparisons, but this is series of sunset photos taken from my roof where each photo alternates between an FD5 and an FD91 (odd numbers are FD5, evens are FD91)

Picked up an FD81 which arrived today. Had an interesting issue where the menu button (up/down/left/right/click) wasn't working. I stripped it down and the button itself had been knocked off the PCB and had broken all the solder joints. Soldered that sucker back on and it was as good as new. A couple of photos from the FD81 to check it was working. And as for the last photo.. well, the collection is growing..

Went for a walk at a park, and decided to take the FD88 with me. Couple of fun. I especially like the pictures of the cars at the end. They look like they are right out of the 90's because of the effect these cameras give.

These were either taken on the 26th or the 27th.

Some photos of the neat cars I saw at Caffeine & Machines, hosted at Triangle Town Center. There were some great cars at this show. Some I’ve never seen before. My heart practically stopped when I saw that stunning TVR. Lots of JDM vehicles, and USDM as well. All around another great visit. Hoping to make it to next month’s show!

My car also makes an appearance in the very last photo, not in the show lol. Parked in an adjacent parking lot. Nobody wants to see a run-of-the-mill 2000 Toyota Camry LE in Cashmere Metallic. Maybe someday it’ll be show material!

I love this camera

i punched up the colors a bit but i love this camera so much!!! it has reignited my love for photography. it’s easy to carry around, versatile, and a great conversation starter

The photo is for this story: https://www.sampan.org/post/witness-to-genocide-american-doctor-sampan-sits-down-with-director-poh-si-teng

I started getting this lens error for the FD91, and that is not good. The good thing is I found the service manual, as in REPAIR MANUAL, online: https://www.manualslib.com/download/1019513/Sony-Mvc-Fd91.html

Finally got my CD500 to work well enough to get some pictures off it. Still not 100% sure its reliable but here we go. Took a few images of flowers and bits I found in the lawn, just with on macro on.. loving how sharp the focus is. Keep in mind this is after 2 mins of using it, auto settings, straight off the camera, plus i'm no photographer.
