![]() ![]() OM-System (Olympus) OM-5Īnother great retro inspired digital camera is the OM System OM-5. This is a great way to get the look of classic film stocks, without having to deal with actual film!Īnother big plus, you can use these film simulations when shooting video as well. There is a large community dedicated to these custom film looks. You can create your own film looks, or copy simulations that others have already created. Some of my favorites are Classic Negative, Classic Chrome and Acros (black and white). There are several film simulations to choose from, most are based off of real film stocks that Fujifilm used to produce, and each one gives your photos a unique look and feel. These are digital filters that emulate the look of different classic film stocks. If you’re looking for even more of that classic film camera look, Fuji also offers various Film simulations. We can’t talk about Fujifilm without talking about film simulations! Paired with a compact lens like the Fujifilm 27mm f/2.8 pancake lens, you have a great little camera that is fantastic for daily carry or for street shooting. You can also grab a thumb grip (aka thumb rest) that attaches to the hot shoe.Ī great advantage of having the viewfinder to the side is that the X-E4 is a near-pocketable camera (big jacket pockets!), mostly because there isn’t a viewfinder hump to get in the way. Although an attachment grip is sold separately. Not great if you want to use it with larger lenses, but this is really a camera meant to be used with small lenses. Yes, it’s a flat body design, with no grip to speak of. The Fuji X-E4 is a great choice for anyone looking for a small retro camera with all the bells and whistles.įujifilm chose to go as minimalist as possible on the X-E4, while still making a camera that is still function over form. If you want the “Leica camera look” without the Leica price, look at the Fujifilm X-Pro3 and X100V below. The X-E4 has an electronic viewfinder, and has no optical viewfinder. The lack of a viewfinder cutout where the “X-E4” logo is written throws off the look a bit. It’s got a large 3″ LCD screen and an electronic viewfinder hump to the left, giving it a look similar to a classic Leica rangefinder. It’s lightweight without feeling like tupperware. The body of the camera is made from magnesium alloy. And best of all, it’s relatively compact and easy to carry around all day. It has all the features you see in modern digital cameras, but it still evokes that nostalgic feeling. It’s a great retro looking digital camera that isn’t all about the looks. The Fujifilm X-E4 is one of my current favorites. Not only does this help give Fujifilm cameras a vintage look, it also allows you to shoot like you were using a film camera with the dedicated aperture rings on the lens and shutter speed and ISO dials on the camera. Most Fujifilm cameras have physical dials and switches on the camera body and aperture rings on the lenses. Fujifilm X-E4įirst up, Fujifilm! We can’t talk about the best retro looking cameras without talking about Fujifilm.įujifilm are the biggest players in this space, with most of their cameras being inspired by classic film camera looks. In this roundup, we will take a look at some of the best retro looking digital cameras on the market today from Fujifilm, Nikon and OM System (aka Olympus). And a Leica budget certainly isn’t what we recommend for a first camera. While most people will immediately think “Leica” when thinking of retro style cameras, a Leica simply isn’t the budget for many photographers. Some of us do prefer the analog experience, but want the convenience of digital. While film and retro cameras are making a mini comeback of sorts, there is no reason that you can’t get that retro vibe in a modern digital camera. Not the least of which is the ability to shoot virtually unlimited images. These digital cameras will give you that stylish classic film camera look, while still providing all the features and convenience of a modern camera. ![]() Do you miss the good old days of photography? When cameras did not look like boring black boxes? If so, you’ll love this round up of the best retro looking digital cameras! ![]()

Just click the File menu, then Save, and when you're prompted for where and how to save your new application, give the app a name (like "Quit All Apps"), save it to your Desktop, and very importantly, choose to save the workflow as a Mac application. Now, save this new Mac Automator workflow as a Mac application. I happen to like my unsaved changes, so I leave this checkbox checked, but if you want to discard all of your unsaved changes you can uncheck this (and live dangerously).ĥ) Save your Automator workflow as a Mac Application If you leave it checked as I'm showing it, your Automator application will make sure each Mac app its about to shut down will prompt you with an "Are you sure?" message if you have unsaved changes. ![]() The "Ask to save changes" checkbox here is very important.

I don't mind having to quit all the apps manually - that seems like the natural thing to do - but if you're about to have a lightning storm and you'd really like to shut down your Mac fast, being able to quit all applications fast sure would be nice. A Mac "quit all applications" app: I don't shut down or reboot my Mac computers very often, but every time I do, I always wonder if there's an easy way to quit all applications with one or two keystrokes. ![]() ![]() ![]() Just an almost ordinary bloke who's doing what's right. Maybe this is because Dan isn't a hero after all. Two pivotal events happen afar or are told instead of directly witnessed, because it's also a story of justice and revenge and McKenna, in a bold choice, gives agency to the victims instead of the hero. Those links between past and present, between the earth and the people who inhabit it, between myths and contemporary life, are without a doubt one of the greatest strengths of this series.Īlthough The Green Man's Gift starts slow, it builds up to dramatic actions. The spotlight in the Green Man's Gift is on Welsh folklore, and it's linked wonderfully with Wales industrial past and how the country turns to tourism nowadays. Awful realities create a backdrop which has repercussions for the characters while they're dealing with a supermatural threat. She starts strong by alluding to the NHS cuts and the raw sewage being pumped into rivers. One thing I love is how McKenna seamlessly weaves our world and its issues with the treasure trove that British folklore is. We also meet new people, and I particularly enjoyed Aled, a Welsh man whose ancestor was a coblyn. It also offers us more time with beloved secondary characters. They begin working as a team, and at one point, with epic effects. The network that the characters created in The Green Man's Challengeplays its role in this volume. ![]() More than once, you'll find yourself saying "Come on, Dan! Don't be daft! Don't go in there!" but it's also very nice to see his relationship with Fin evolving. ![]() The series keeps on doing what made its success: a stand-alone story set in contemporary rural Britain with characters who come alive. It is always a pleasure to meet Dan again. My previous reviews: The Green Man's Heir, The Green Man's Foe, The Green Man's Challenge.
