The "CCD camera", which has been eliminated in the past 10 years, has recently become a product sought after by some young people in China.The promotion of social media and net celebrity effects, these old cameras, which claims to shoot "retro atmosphere," set off a wave of purchase in the second -hand market, the price is nearly four times.In Shenzhen Huaqiangbei, the second -hand camera shop also sprung up the beach.
Before the camera becomes a basic function of a smartphone, the CCD camera (also known as a card machine) has always been an electronic camera used by ordinary people.CCD (CHARGED COUPLE Device) refers to the image sensor of the electronic camera, which is a sensitive component that can convert photons into electronics.Simply put, it is to save people see the form of electronic images.
With the popularization of digital SLR cameras with better picture quality, and the surpassing of smartphone photography functions, the position of the CCD camera in the market has declined since 2010. Most camera manufacturers have also stopped producing CCD cameras one after anotherEssence
These old cameras, which were once regarded as "electronic garbage", have ushered in the second spring in recent months.In Chinese social media, the CCD camera has become a new favorite of some young people. Every day, a large number of netizens have taken the image taken by the CCD camera on the Xiaohongshu.
19 -year -old college student Zhong Yuqi spent 1,000 yuan (RMB, the same below, about S $ 193) to buy a CCD camera last week.In an interview with Lianhe Morning Post, she said every day when she saw many people sharing similar photos in social media, she felt very fresh, so she also decided to start a camera."I think the photos taken by the old camera have a sense of atmosphere and a retro taste, like a film camera."
Miss Lu said that the CCD camera can take a hazy beauty.She said: "The photos taken on the mobile phone are too clear and too real. I want to take a dreamy feeling. It doesn't matter if the tone and focus are not allowed. The most important thing is that the camera looks good." As for the camera without warranty, she thinks the price is inThe scope she accepts is a kind of experience even if it is broken.
The reporter visited Shenzhen Huaqiangbei, which is known as "China Electronics First Street", found that at least eight stores specializing in a shopping mall specializing in photography equipment sold second -hand CCD cameras, of which five or six were the first three this year.Yuecai has just started business, and almost every shop is in court.The price of the camera is generally from 400 yuan to 1200 yuan.
Dou Yi, who has sold cameras in Huaqiangbei Shopping Mall for 20 years, told Lianhe Zaobao that the trend of second -hand CCD cameras began at the end of last year. The earliest in the early stage was because stars and Internet celebrities used such cameras to take pictures and set off a follow -up on social media.This trend has become stronger in the past two months, and more than a dozen customers come to ask every day, almost all young girls.
Dou Yi pointed out that there was no one when this camera was sold for 200 yuan before it was sold, and now the price is three or four times higher than that of demand.In addition to the Internet celebrity effect, he did not rule out other forces behind the hype, earning more profits from it.
He also said that the master of repairing the camera was not too busy with demand recently."The camera has been discontinued and has no new elements available, but they can still ask for components from the same damaged camera and assemble it into an available camera."
Mr. Lin, another second -hand camera merchant, believes that as the largest electronic component center in China, Huaqiangbei has a complete accessory supply chain, such as different batteries and chargers of various cameras to cope with demand.However, unlike other sources, merchants cannot order second -hand CCD cameras from suppliers; in the case of the price of the camera, they can only recover the old cameras from other countries to sell them from other countries.
Mr. Lin said that he can sell eight to ten CCD cameras almost every day, but it is estimated that this is just a trend of consumption.He said: "These young people are just fresh and at the tip of the trend. As long as there are other more fun things to appear, these cameras will be forgotten again."
Deng Chao, a professional photographer with more than 20 years of photography experience, believes that in an interview, the "retro style" pursued by young people through the CCD camera is a fallacy, because many of them were born in 00 years and came into contact with the film camera.The possibility is extremely low, and the principle behind the film is not understood.
Deng Chao said that CCD is an image sensing technology more than 40 years ago, and the reason why it was eliminated was because there were many shortcomings at the technical level.However, these defects have become the picture quality pursued by young people nowadays, such as excessive noise, excessive exposure of portraits, excessive exposure of portrait, inaccurate coloring, and inaccurate focusing."What they are pursuing may be an unpredictable effect that makes photography full of surprises."
Although Deng Chao also believes that this trend will not last, he believes that this trend also has a positive side, that is, let more young people come into contact with photography and try to use different cameras for creation in the process.
