#THE DIGIPOD ISO#
Leica M-D (Typ 262) The Leica M looks like a film camera, but the dial on the back controls the camera’s ISO setting. This “camera by subscription” service rented you a Samsung NX1 with the screen covered, then took your photos and “developed” them in the cloud, before selecting, editing, and showing you the images it thought was best. Relonch The camera was actually a Samsung NX1 wrapped in a leather suit. The print quality isn’t great and each sheet of paper is too pricey for what you get. The Polaroid Snap creates a digital image and a physical print, but it’s more of a camera with a printer attached to the back than a true hybrid. Instant photography is still alive and well, especially Fujifilm’s Instax system, but the digital versions haven’t performed. Polaroid Snap The Snap had a classic look, but the images were unimpressive. There was a working prototype, though, which is more progress than many others made. It got roughly $20,000 into an Indiegogo campaign before bailing out. The Digipod was a semi-promising concept that tried to deliver on a long-requested task: Bring a digital sensor into our old film cameras. It shot great photos, but didn’t sell well, and hasn’t seen a refresh. But, in an effort to appease purists, the company took out all video features and styled the camera as a throwback to its earlier film days. This $3,000 DSLR is actually a rather excellent camera with most of the same guts as Nikon’s flagship DSLRs at the time. It also used a full-frame sensor the size of a piece of 35mm film, common in high-end DSLRs. The apps would store your shots and not show them to you until you had “finished a roll” of pictures Nikon DF The Nikon DF only shot still photos after video had already become a standard DSLR feature. Several app makers bet that waiting to see your photos was the part film photographers liked about the medium. The quest to recreate that old-school vibe extended to apps, of course, too. Hipstamatic The Hipstamatic D-Series app emulated the experience of a disposable camera. It has been in a drawer for more than a year. It ran a successful Kickstarter campaign, but got bad reviews. The digital version used a smartphone camera sensor and couldn’t capture any of that Holga charm. The original was loved by lo-fi photographers for its crummy lens and its tendency to let in light at the seems to fog the film, which gave images a dreamy effect.
If you ever took a film photography class, you probably recognize this Russian toy camera. Digital Holga It’s charming to look at, but this digital version didn’t have the same appeal as the film-based toy camera. Here are some past attempts that didn’t quite work out as expected. Trying to mix digital photography with film-style cameras is a trap that many other manufacturers have fallen into. Also, with such a small sensor and limited controls, expectations for image quality aren’t high. The whole thing is very cute, but it misses the point of film photography, which doesn’t come from pressing levers or swapping out canisters, but rather from the images and the creative process itself. To put a cherry on top of its analog imitation, the camera also has a film advance lever you have to wind between photos. Of course, there’s also a black and white cartridge. The 120 Format (6×6) digiFilm cartridge only allows the camera to shoot square photos. So, pop in the ISO200 Ultra Fine digiFilm cartridge and it will shoot with settings optimized for bright light and photos with low noise.
It doesn’t have a screen, but it does come with swappable “film” modules that dictate the look of the pictures you take.
#THE DIGIPOD MANUAL#
It has a small 1/3.2-inch sensor like you’d find in the iPhone 5, and a very limited set of manual controls. The digiFilm is, for the most part, a typical low-end digital camera.
