Shooting With The First DSLR - The Kodak DCS-420 | Tech Showcase
The Kodak DCS-420 is one of the earliest DSLRs you can actually get your hands on, and since getting mine April of last year it's been some of the most fun I've had with photography. After already making a more artsy type of video on this device previously, this is my first attempt at a "Traditional Youtuber Video Essay" to show what makes it great, and what should give you pause before trying to seek one out. (I apologize if I miss some info, this was a mostly unscripted off-the-cuff film I just wanted to put together to review a criminally underrated device IMO. This covers most of the basics when it comes to shooting one of the oldest DSLRs out there!) Link to my other video on this camera: • Digital Photography in 1995: The Kodak DCS... Check out NikonWeb.com for the DCS File Converter software you need to use this with modern computers! ( FYI other software like drivers for Photoshop to connect to SCSI and firmware updates are on the Internet Archive.)
