Let's see some great shots taken with old, cheap gear!

[V8Beast]

Just curious... isn't the idea of this thread is to post images made FAIRLY RECENTLY with older/cheap gear we still currently use?
There are some cool shots here, but I think it's lame if you are rummaging through your archives to find your mom's favorite photo.

Nah, I didn't have any kind of "time limit" in mind when this thread was started. I just wanted to see people post nice images with equipment considered antiquated (film, 10D, 1Ds era stuff) or low-tech (point-and-shoots, cell phones). In retrospect, I could have articulated that better in the thread title.

Anyhow, here's another oldie from my 20D. The 10-22 can have some crazy distortion when this close to the subject, so it was always critical to get the angles right.

Why do you think it's lame to dig through archives? Maybe you should do it... It's quite entertaining There are some great photos on here and fail to understand the comment about our mothers' favorite photos.

To appease anyone who is unhappy with the idea of rummaging through old photos, here is one shot with my G5 in late March. After I got a G11, the G5 got "rebirthed" as an infrared camera.

not usually a fan of selective color, but that looks great!

9 years ago, not exactly cheap (Canon 10D with 28-105 lens) but definitely old

What fun it was!

Canon T2i (550D) on cowboy shoulder mount ($25, cheap but not old), using Leitz Summilux-R 50mm f/1.4 from 1976 (old but not cheap, at least by vintage glass standards)

Not an EOS, but a Canon nonetheless... Canon Powershot G3 :

Some of the photos posted in this thread have been taken using what is still my 'current' digital camera. It's probably time for me to upgrade... :-\

Taken with 450D and kit lens, just ND on a few on in JPG mode using a WB cap.

This shot taken with hand me down 70-200 EF lens from non digital canon.

Heh, don't sweat it, I still use 5D, 20D and 40D. No problems with them.

Speaking of cheap gear, here is something shot with Nikon Coolpix S3000:

I like the photo for a reason that I cannot explain, despite the fact that the picture is blurry due to long hand hold time.

Now if I just could find out where I have put the stuff taken with Minolta's pocket film camera...

That's gorgeous... I don't like the surreal look of most infrared shots but this looks great!

Still my favourite shot with 350D which I'm still using - been torn apart between 60D and 7D for so long now (but also broke):

Also used are Sigma 10mm 2.8 and two slave 430ex flashes.

Taken back in my P&S days. I know it's a Canon forum, but this was taken with a Nikon Coolpix 4500. A 4mp camera. This was back around 2003 or 2004 - before I knew ANYTHING about composition at all - I should never have cropped it like I did.

Horrible Photo with my old 20D w/ 18-55 f3.5-5.6 Lens. Camera and Lens almost as old as door...I think both can be had for under 300 dollars

Nothing wrong with that shot chief.
