Wanted to share this.
Stunning footage, in such high quality, it is nearly like time travelling!

That's quite the find there. It, indeed, looks like one is time-traveling. What a great video, considering that I was in Berlin recently.

Looks like digitally colourised black and white footage to me.

You can tell it's been coloured, but it's still mesmerising

first video, 1:21, guy in blue suit uses a camera too small to be of the period and didn't even press it to his face, it has a modern LCD display :O:

C'mon, it was a joke. :D

Looking at Rhodes image I'm still surprised how small cameras already were in those times :hmmm:

I can safely say something with Karl Zeiss lenses.

^ Indeed, since many folder cameras have/had them.
Miniaturization is not something of our age!

If that's 1900 those automobiles must have come from a time machine. It seems to look more like about 1912 (just guessing).

Description points out that some footage is from ~1914 - like the soldiers in the end of the first video.
