My last #digicam acquisition is this very pocketable guy: Olympus D-435 (or C-180).

From 2005.
5.1 megapixels.
CCD sensor.
ISO range: 50-250.
Lens: 35mm (equiv.) ƒ2.8

I’m always intrigued by vintage digital cameras that came with fixed lenses instead of zooms, and it's too bad there are so few of them.

I need to take some more test photos in better conditions, because what I took so far looks average. But I really love the exaggerated bloom and halation. A nice effect when well-exploited.

Forgot to add: It cost me €18.50 *including* shipping. Can’t afford more interesting (but more expensive) cameras at the moment.

Took some more shots, and the little Olympus D-435 for me really captures the ‘point-and-shoot’ film camera aesthetic. Photos are organically grainy as soon as lighting conditions get worse, and light sources appear blooming and gaseous when shot directly. I love this look, imperfections and all.

@morrick I think the last shot (the platform) would be great in black and white.

@zbrando You’re not wrong. Here are three variants with different tones:
