What can you accomplish with a $ 79 camera?

Photographers love their sophisticated and expensive equipment. this makes our job much easier and can produce absolutely stunning results in good hands. But what can you accomplish with a $ 79 camera dating back more than ten years? The results might surprise you.

Coming from Tom Tom's Toma Boncu, this great video follows him while he's shooting with an old Canon PowerShot camera from 2007 that he found on Amazon for $ 79. I must admit that I had a weakness for that because I had a very similar model with which I learned a lot at the time. I always appreciate these types of challenges because they strip away all the fundamentals of technique and creative vision, and that's what we see here. Toma also made a very interesting point about letting professionals more advanced interchangeable lens cameras and recommending bridge cameras to passionate amateurs. This is a good reminder of how solid fundamentals can take you far. Watch the video above to see how the Canon has behaved and to listen to all his thoughts.
