First let me give that kid props for what he did.  In my opinion, to sell the finished product, he should have shown examples of the photos taken with this camera.  Cleaning a camera and getting the flash to work is one thing, getting images to come out sharp is another.  

Canon 5D Mark II | Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM | Canon 35L | Sigma 85 1.4 | Helios 44M-6 58mm(M42) | Zeiss 50mm 1.4 (C/Y) | Canon 135L | (2) 430EX II

I was thinking the same thing.  While all that is impressive, I want to see the finished results.

No way that  camera took good photos, that's why he didn't show any photos

I watched this earlier, he did a good job making this camera look clean.  IMO, not a restoration unless he shows photo quality after.  Otherwise, all he did here is clean it up.

I enjoy these sort of videos, but as the echo goes here, showing photos at the end would have locked in how well of a job things turned out.
