"So, this right here is what a single frame from the Action Cam looks like. Just, the outside of a house. You have four as compared to the eight. Now, again, I am showing you a lot of black and white imagery. Which is fine, sort of what I do. But, you could easily use color film for the Action Cam as well. And again, it is sort of back to what I said about the Holga. You do not want to use color film that is a low ISO or ASA. You want to use a color film that is easily an eight hundred. Even if you could find a sixteen hundred speed film, which is kind of hard, you know, for color film. A thousand speed for the Action Cam. And again, it is back to the aperture and the shutter. You know, it is really not that slow. So again, some of, some of the good things about using these cameras are, you can open them up and you can look at them and see your basic camera knowledge. Whether it is toy, film, or digital. Your shutter is still really one of the most important things, and your aperture, and your ISO. Those three factors no matter what kind of camera you are using. You could be using a five thousand dollar camera. You could be using a five dollar camera. And, they still really are what depend upon your picture coming out."
