Good Saturday you awesome WordPress camera geeks! Just keeping you guys in the loop with my latest video review.

The camera is the Minolta TC-1. It is a compact “luxury” point and shoots from what I consider the glory days of high end point and shoots cameras in the 1990s.

Its peers are other cameras you might remember such as the Nikon 35ti, the Konica Hexar AF, the Leica Minilux, and the Contax T2 & T3, and maybe a few more.

I’ve written about this camera a few times over the years here but I’ve put all my best information into this video.

The Minolta TC-1 and its peers are no doubt amongst the most desirable compact film cameras of all time but for many, many reasons I no longer consider them good buys.

I address this at the end of the video with some brutally honest commentary of which you’ve probably not heard me say before.

I thought I should do a video on all the luxury point and shoots before I expressed my true views but that would be a really cruel thing to do to the people! 😂 So I’m putting it out now so that the more sane minded can save themselves the heartache in addition to saving a lot of money 👍

I have chased these cameras and endured a lot of headaches when they eventually broke down or developed issues. Let my story be a cautionary tale. I did it so you don’t have to. But like a moth to a flame burned by the fire, if you feeling like taking a gamble that could end up in a blaze of glory I’m not going to stop you! 😂
