I saw Japanese people on Youtube today! ! They all had cameras
Everyone, I can not stop watching this commercial.
For some reason I am always expecting (hoping?) those cameras will clatter together when the two men bow at the end.
1. The first commercial shows a shadow of a photographer for just a second. This allows you to project.
2. Welcome to Hell !
3. Thanks to this I now know that the Beck song at the end of “Eternal Sunshine” was a cover. Also, getting an XA is not a bad idea and one can do more with it than just lay around real sexy-like sliding the cover back and forth.
4. Is that a pair of shorts or paint? And who let you have a gun? oh please do not look at me like that.
5. Who is this man? …is he some stranger? a boyfriend? her father?
If getting shoved into a pool is a normal result of his photographic endeavors then lucky for him he was not snapping away at the girl with the pistol in the previous commercial.
Ok one more:
Do you see a pattern yet? This post is like Advertising 101.
LMAO.
That camera the sumo wrestler is holding looks so tiny!
Why do they always have to shoot photos of women in bikins?!

5. He is the man who they purposely designed anti-shake functionality for given his rather ‘clumsy’ shutter release action…

And someone needs to help him learn how to hold a book. If she was really angry though I bet the camera would have gone in the pool before he did.
Ayako- that is a real camera: http://www.cameraquest.com/pentx110.htm
As for the swimsuits. . . It had (has) a lot to do with their target market. This was before the whole Girl Photo Boom that still holds strong today. There was an Olympus DSLR commercial on recently that had a twenty-something girl on a trip in Mongolia taking pictures and living life, and she was not wearing a bikini.

I kind of wanted to see more of the jumping car at the end of the first commercial.

I think we can all agree that a car jumping a hill with sirens in the background is the best way to start a commercial, or a movie, or one’s day. It would have been nice to see the rest of the ad though.
