So, the doods programming the “Vintage” profile must think everyone in the 70s and 80s had their film processed at a cr@p one hour place and stored them in a open box by a south window.
Bingo!
Actually Fuji does the same with their Classic Neg profile. I bought an Xpro3 just for that (and sold it a few months later) believing their claim that it was just like shooing C41 print film.
Was not. Completely blew highlights and blocked shadows. Which is weird coming from a company that makes (or used to) colour neg film!
The beautiful thing about c41 film is how it holds highlights.

It's weird. I still don't know if I recommend this camera even though I keep using mine!
The biggest improvement they could make to it would be to replace the VF with something that is not completely awful.
It really is the worst VF I've ever looked through.

Hey guys.
Welp, I was going to post Camp Snap images from my ski trip, but it seems that I can't post with external URL's anymore.
Even my old posts that were posted with FTP links show up with Question marks now! I guess something changed at FM?
I'm not going to pay for upload and sell just to post images, so I guess I'm done posting!!
I'll keep watching and commenting, but I guess I'm out of the game. It's a shame that money usurps sharing.

I still see all your images. I occasionally get that “?” thing but a restart normally fixes it.

It's been a problem for a few months now. I can't post links to my images on an ftp.
Nothing has changed with my hosting site. Same one for 25 years. I was able to post images to this thread recently because I was selling a camera on the B&S, which let me upload images through the reply button interface.
Here's a link that works when pasting the URL into a web browser. So it's definitely a working, live link.
Let's see if it works here.

Nope. Still showing a question mark.
I quit Safari and re-started. Tried it in Chrome to see if it's just a Mac/Safari thing, but same issue. A broken link icon shows up in place of an image. Yet if I type the link into the browser it goes right to the image. No problem.
FM is somehow blocking (my) external links. I've posted hundreds of images that way for the last 7-8 years from the same URL with no problem, so it seems to be a new "feature". Even my old posts that were live for years are now showing broken links! Arghhh

One more try. I put an image in a top level directory to see if it's something going on with the longer URL.

I went through some photo threads here and it looks like most users' photos still work fine. Maybe your site has image hotlinking turned off for some reason.

Hmmm... I don't know. Weird that Huss can see the links but myself and others can't. Nothing has changed with my ftp hosting.
I went to a few of my older FM posts and they all have question marks now unless I posted them with Upload and Sell on. They definitely worked when originally posted. (Some from 10 years ago!)
I went through and looked at the source code for the FM forum pages, and it looks like *most* people use either Upload and Sell, or link from an image sharing site like Flickr, SmugMug or Zenfolio. I bet it's a security thing - blocking external links that are from private servers?
I have a Flickr account. I'll try posting images there and then link here.

OK. Flicker links work!
As promised, I took the CampSnap out on the slopes of Vermont. It was 3ºF, snowing heavily and very windy. The CampSnap performed admirably! The extreme cold didn't seem to affect it. (I kept it in an inside pocket of my ski parka.) Images were exposed perfectly. No blowouts.
I also shot with a Ricoh GR3x and Sony A7II with FE 85/1.8, and I think the CampSnap is my favorite of the bunch!!
The buttons on the GR are impossible to use with any kind of glove on, and I ended up constantly changing settings by accident. (Unfortunately, there's no way to lock out the rear buttons.)
The A7II has been my go to ski camera for a decade now and always comes through with great images, but it's a heavy and bulky package to lug around under a ski jacket.
The CampSnap is tiny and weightless and easily slipped into the interior "ski goggle" pouch in my jacket. No strap. Just whip it out and go. The shutter button is big and tactile enough that I could operate it with glove liners on. It was truly a great experience! So fun to just point and shoot.
Here are a few from the CampSnap. Pretty heavily post processed with my new "Holga" LightRoom preset.
Smugglers' Notch, VT.

Yeah the CampSnap is a great just have w you camera. Just expect and relish in the trendy lo-fi experience and all is well.
May I also recommend the Reto Ultra Wide N Slim loaded w iso 400 film? Tiny and lightweight like the snappycamp, but with jen-you-whine fillum.

One (!) issue the snappycamp has is it's difficulties handling bright colours, especially reds. Some of the time they are ok, most of the time reds lose any kind of detail and become a red blob. Yellows to a lesser extent.
Some examples below - as seen straight out of camera (SOC) and after I have edited them in a way I think improves the way they look.
First image SOC, second edited.
