This Camera is 13 Years Old | The Point & Shoot Camera You've Never Heard Of | Pentax Optio RS 1000

Welcome back to another video! We've all heard the phrase "gear doesn't matter" and this camera is proof that gear doesn't matter when you want to start learning photography. We recently got this camera from a thrift shop and we were surprised with the images we were able to capture using this gem! The old sensor and lens produces images that resemble pictures shot on a 35mm film.

Pentax isn't as popular of a camera brand as it used to be, but their reputation can be traced all the way back to the film days. We also shoot on analog Pentax cameras for our personal projects from time to time and their optics are some of the best - and still highly regarded (Takumar Lenses) to this day.

This Optio RS 1000 is very small, lightweight, and inconspicuous which Kate enjoyed using for small family trips like on this video. Since we bought this one, it's always been in Kate's bag or purse. She doesn't leave the house without her tiny personalized camera. Our experience with this camera is nothing short of awesome. What are your thoughts about these old P&S cameras? Let us know in the comments. Cheers!
