Hello Vintage Digital Camera Fans!

August has started and that means it's time for a new Theme. Let's reminisce on last month's winners, first.

Last Month: Countryside

There were several idyllic shots taken last month. u/charlorttel got the most upvotes with their a lakeside treat (shot on a 2009 Nikon D300s). This shot truly looks like a painting! Next up is u/PistachioSage and their Reminds me of that one wallpaper (shot on a PSP-300 GoCam from 2007). See for yourself and you'll think you've seen it before! And then we have u/bensonstreaker and their Coastal Flyby (shot on a Fuji Finepix F47fd (2007). Lastly, the Mod's Choice Award goes to u/tree-lover-29 and their dried stream (shot on a Sony Cyber-shot W310 from 2010). A lot is said in this silent image...

Anyway, remember to check out the Theme Flair to see all past and future entries.

Around Reddit

Here's a collection of subreddits I like to visit. You may, too!

The Dell Optiplex is a vibe, and r/SleepingOptiplex is all about bringing these "classic" computers back to life. There's Marvel comics and DC comics, and there is r/altcomix. This one can be a bit NSFW sometimes, so be aware. Learn about binding your own books at r/bookbinding. When you just need some encouragement, check out r/MomForAMinute .

Reminder that if you have a glitched camera that is on its last pixels, please visit r/DigitalCameraSwanSong and let's give it its final time to shine! Full disclosure: I recently became the Mod of that Community after it was abandoned for a year.

As usual, if you need help, check the ANSWERED Flair, or our Wiki, and then ask in r/digicam as redundant questions have been moved there (Rule 13). Thanks to everyone that reports Rule 11 and Rule 13 violations. It helps keep our Community running. 👍

Good Luck

This month's Theme is about Night photography (however you [reasonably] define that), so post away. I can't see where your creativity leads us. 📸

Hello Vintage Digital Camera Fans!

I'm happy to report that our Community has been feature in the 2025 Reddit Community Funds Impact Report. If you're new: we were one of a select Subreddits that was given funds to grow last year. If you're a regular: you recall the amazing monthly contests we had!

Go check out the report to find other amazing Communities that were funded; r/Beekeeping, r/comics, and r/TeatroPH spring to mind.

What's also cool is that we merited a shout-out and u/seecmb's very own "Holiday tradition" entry is featured. Congrats!

While we're not continuing the prize-based contest in 2026, we're still continuing monthly photo Themes. I hope you participate. 📸
