	His first known camera was a Cortland video camera, a cheap budget device not unlike the later [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixgsYAfZ8eo Tyco VideoCam]. It filmed black-and-white VHS footage, and it was not a camcorder – you needed to plug it into a VCR. Chris used this camera for [[Song of Christian]], his earliest known self-recorded video. The low-quality footage (even for its time) shows as half of Chris's face is black throughout the clip.		One of Chris's first photo cameras was a cheap one from Remco, who created cameras in the early 1990s based on licensed properties. These cameras had the option to imprint a small image of a character or person from said property on pictures taken, hence why some of Chris's childhood photos have Raphael from ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'' in the bottom-right corner.

	Chris's primary camera from the classic era was his ''[[PSEye]]''. That camera had seen enough abuse to start randomly stuttering and losing connection mid-video. Chris took better care of its successor, the [[PS4]] camera, though he didn't know how to turn off the default background music while recording for some time.

	Chris assumes that if he can see the lens, then everything can be seen by the lens. He has no idea what it means to be in the focus of a shot, and is constantly standing way out of center, or putting stuff so close to the camera you can't even tell what you're looking at. A shining example is [[ToJackie\|a video to Jackie]] in which he "swore on the Bible," yet the poor framing makes it impossible to tell whether the object he holds is actually a book, let alone a Bible. When handling the camerawork directly, Chris often attempts to experiment with the camera's positioning without properly considering what his audience will see, and as such we are on the receiving end of [[Videobooks\|many]] [[Sonichu's Edge\|masterpieces]]. Additionally, his lack of proper equipment or controlled co-ordination tends to [[Obesity\|weigh down]] such endeavors with constant shaking, or disorienting angles, especially in [[Chop Chop Master Onion's Rap Showdown\|videos]] [[Don't Mess With Me\|where]] [[Bunny Hop\|he]] [[100 2278\|moves]] [[CWC Fighter\|around]].

	Chris can't even take screenshots, a novice action, properly without screwing it up, as one can see in the ''[[Family Guy]]'' picture shown at the right. Not only does it display that Chris is unaware of software that can capture images on computer screens ([[wikipedia:Snipping Tool\|one of which]] is ''bundled with Windows computers''), the shot he took of his computer screen is blocked by glare from the background lights, as well as the watermark that appears when a Hulu video is paused.

	Chris's other classic era camera was a Kodak EasyShare CX7330, which he got during its launch year of 2004, and used from that year up to 2012. It too saw its own share of physical abuse, but that wasn't enough to damage it the same way it did with the PSEye. The camera was primarily made for pictures, but was also capable of recording videos; however, as an early digital camcorder, it was only capable of videos up to a 240p resolution and ran on a much lower frame rate.
