35mm cameras are still quite affordable, can’t say I blame people for wanting to shoot film!
Maybe this will help reel in medium and large format film prices, where film really can do unique things that digital sensors still can’t quite capture.
That said I love the Nikon Z I have.
- DoctorOetker 2y agoYes, the virtues of increasing sales of single-use cameras, with film.

- etrautmann 2y agoI spent 20 years with digital and went back to film this summer. I love how the constraints of film encourage different creativity and experimentation. It’s also slow and low volume, which is fun, but insanely expensive if you shoot a lot.

If you want the best of both worlds, Amazon has about a zillion "toy" cameras that print to thermal receipt paper. Designed for children, who love carrying around a camera of their own , but people of all ages enjoy receiving a black-and-white (but surprisingly detailed) photo available within seconds. (The photo is also saved to SD card.) Receipt paper is available everywhere and works out to be about one cent per photo.
