what is a shitty camera for #ShittyCameraChallenge? well… here's the list nobody will enforce this rule. but everybody will see what you did.

#ShittyCameraChallenge let's go. the film is over 8 years old so we'll see what it does.

What cost $900 in the year 2000, uses Compact Flash, takes four AA batteries, and has 3.34 megapixels of Godzilla approved glory? This tank of a Nikon Coolpix 990 will serve me well during this summer's edition of the #ShittyCameraChallenge This thing is pristine.

Bought a point and shit Minolta dimage s414 for #shittycamerachallenge It's got 3 whole mega pickles!

I dont know who started #ShittyCameraChallenge but I am joining

Kiev 60 for $60 is here. Made in 1996 and in pretty good shape. A little dent. Cleaned some fungus off the mirror, partially disassembled the lens and got it out of there. Glued some leatherette back. This one looks like it has a modified Kiev 88 finder. So, #shittycamerachallenge accepted.

with some luck I built a working camera today! (the shutter mechanism was a frickin struggle, killed two of the three springs trying to assemble it) #ShittyCameraChallenge #BelieveInFilm

Might shoot some APS for the #ShittyCameraChallenge with this Canon EOS IX I got for €15

guess this is my life now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #shittycamerachallenge #believeinfilm

Keeping @bent.boxo.cc company with a little circuit bending. Cloudscape taken with the circuit bent action scamera. #ShittyCameraChallenge

Reloaded these for the #shittycamerachallenge

How ridiculously cute is this?

I've got the perfect contender, though circuit bending is probably cheating as it makes the photos shittier on purpose. Good thing my scamera sucks even without it.

That's why I absolutely love efforts like @shittychallenge.bsky.social along the lines of "Got trash gear laying around? ...does it technically work? Great, we expect your entry!" (or, y'know, people deciding to draw an olive with whatever they have laying around), it stops the analysis paralysis

It’s important to note that we will fight anyone if we feel like it.

Is this shity enough for you, @shittychallenge.bsky.social ? Speed Graphic 3x4, Aldis-Butcher Anastigmat 5.5" f/4.5, Kodak Plus-X sheet that expired in the 70s #believeinfilm #filmphotography #analogphotography #shittycamerachallenge

A few years ago a friend of mine gave me the worst camera possible, an 18x18 camera with a sensor used in an optical mouse, it had a readout rate of 3 seconds per frame, only worked outdoors and needed to be hooked up to a laptop. Is this shitty enough?

Hell yeah. Gonna use the Diana I scavenged from the trash and had to break open to repair the shutter.

New #ShittyCameraChallenge weapon of choice randomly spotted yesterday in an antique mall bsky.app/profile/dway...

Here's a guide for you. If you're still unsure, ask and the Elder Gods will pass judgement upon it. 😉

Thinking this might be the guy

My Fellow Shitters. Behold! The Elder Gods have decreed a #ShittyCameraChallenge will take place in 2026. You have a few weeks to choose your shitty camera and join us from July 1st to September 30th 2026. Let Shitty Commence!

Lucky for me I just got this in the jumble sale. So far it has really odd behaviour in low light

Feel the power of my shitter.... #shittycamerachallenge #believeinfilm

Verily, I have more than one shitter in multiple formats ....

Deploy the 0.38MP pile of crap

Technically, the Canon PowerShot A85 is compatible with the #ShittyCameraChallenge It has 4.0 megapixels, uses Compact Flash, and takes AA batteries. That said, I used it at Obama's inauguration parade all those years ago because it was small enough to go through security. Ain't great/ain't terrible

Damn, can’t wait to get that Holga I promised myself months ago. Also, I think an addendum should be made to this challenge that if the camera is shit, so should the film stock. The more off brand the better.

I was going to get on here and say I bought a Kiev 60 for $60 Tuesday, but then I saw #shittycamerachallenge is back. So to answer your question if Pentacon Six mounts are allowed, I offer exhibits A, B, C and D brought to you by my old Pentacon Six, the worst camera I've ever owned.

Shit. Maybe I have to get us matching #ShittyCameraChallenge Fed shirts! (He types while wearing a SCC Konica shirt!🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️) shittycamerachallenge.threadless.com/designs/crap...

I WAS BORN FOR THIS #ShittyCameraChallenge

This is a great feed, and well worth following, even when there's no Challenge going on. But remember, to show up on the feed include the hashtag #ShittyCameraChallenge in your posts.

The #ShittyCameraChallenge is returning. Going to save everyone the trouble and just declare victory now. I have a very particular set of shitty cameras acquired over a lifetime.

I'm already in #shittycamerachallenge 😎

how about this as my #shittycamerachallenge piece

Im ready for this year's #shittycamerachallenge

#ShittyCameraChallenge will be delighted about my latest lack of Impulse control (almost through 2 rolls of color and one b/w film)

preparing for the #ShittyCameraChallenge and i find myself asking "how hard is camera repair, really?" i'm terrified to open up my kiev-4, i have some fine motor issues and i imagine it just exploding everywhere with one wrong touch. the main issue is that its slow speeds are way too slow. help pls

just had the absolute dumbest idea and I think I have to make it happen. more details when I have disemboweled this thing to confirm that it is in fact possible @shittychallenge.bsky.social i.ebayimg.com/images/g/al0...

Spent $5 on this keychain 110 camera (about $4.50 too much), and I had to test it out. It performed as one might expect. It will be perfect for the #ShittyCameraChallenge 📷 Micro 110 🎞️ Lomography Orca 100 🧪 Rodinal 1+25 📷📲 Plustek 8200i #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead #lofi

Woo hoo. I got post. A new #shittycamerachallenge #wwhfpd camera from @wavesounds.bsky.social

Got the Fed, the Holga, and the Charmera. Let’s go!

SATURATE ALL THE THINGS!

we are so fucking back

I just remembered I still have my childhood gameboy camera lmfao

I will, hopefully, have a special contribution to this using a special one of a kind camera that sucks

Does this count as a shitty camera?

Oh shit time to get out my Lytro !!

Is it a 25-year old voice recorder with a camera? Yes. Does it only have Windows drivers? Also yes. Was it worth digging out Virtual PC and running Windows 2K on this iBook? Doubtful. Crappy ass pictures are coming. You've been warned.

*in James May's voice* As you would expect, I've done this properly. -costs less than the film it uses -only B and 1/30 "shitter" speed -2 apertures, f/8 and f/11 (+bonus f/8 with yellow filter) -3 focus zones -72.5mm meniscus lens -basically a worse Holga built to 1950s W-German quality standards
