Talking about cool old cameras and photography on a budget :)

Video Description

This setup blew my already high expectations! I'm having so much fun with it. And the best part is, the camera is super affordable (I bought mine for just under $100, and it goes for $90-120 depending on color and condition). 12 megapixels is more than enough. And this DIY infrared mod is super easy to do! Don't worry, I'll show you how I did it so you can decide if you want to convert your camera to infrared as well. I was tired of bad quality drivers, so I paid the price and got this iFixit set and couldn't be happier: https://amzn.to/4dAxPAY Rocket blower used: https://amzn.to/3YHAeFI You'll need a soldering gun. Mine is super old and basic, I'll probably grab this one next: https://amzn.to/46L7i1M I am part of the Amazon Associates program.
