The Canon Shot WP-1, a waterproof film camera from 1994, stands as an intriguing option for photographers who cherish the tactile and nostalgic qualities of film photography. Its waterproof nature and aesthetic appeal make it a unique choice for specific photography projects or conditions. This fun video takes a look at the camera and what you can do with it.
Coming to you from grainydays, this great video takes a look at the Canon WP-1 point and shoot film camera. The WP-1's waterproof capabilities, although limited, are a significant draw. While not being suitable for total immersion in water, it still promises resilience against milder water exposure, making it ideal for casual water-related activities. This functionality is particularly appealing for photographers who want to blend the art of film photography with outdoor adventures and a relative rarity. The video further delves into the camera's usability, noting its automatic film loading and broad ISO range support, which reflect the technological advancements of the time.
The camera's performance, as the video demonstrates, is commendable. Its 32mm lens, slightly wider than the typical 35mm, offers a broader perspective, making it relatively versatile. I remember having a waterproof disposable camera for a family vacation back in 1996, and it was some of the most fun I've ever had with a camera. Check out the video above for the full rundown.
