Anyone here still take pictures with film? Trying to decide which kind of camera to get. What do you prefer about each of these options? What is your experience? (Your iphone doesn't count)

DV, do you have a certain budget or anything? I can recommend you the camera I use which is the Nikon D4s. I mean the quality is crazy good and I love it so much. But yeah its kinda really expensive.

 

oh yeah and to mention its a digital single lens camera

Film is amazing.

I thought you were broke though? They can be pricey or cheap depending on your budget...

 

They sell disposable ones at kroger and stuff if you wanna keep it feasible....

Why would I not ~_~ It was the most popular Canon film camera, an AE-1. They're like 50 bucks at the pawn shop.

I don't know about current ones but my dad's D60 that we got forever ago is still awesome and alive. Add in a modern SD card and it is literally a bottom-less pit for pictures (ok, thousands of photos isn't bottom-less but it is still a lot for me).

I feel like if you're just starting to get into photography digital may be a better option for learning/practicing, since you can take, like, a thousand pictures and see the results immediately, whereas, with  a film camera, you're limited to 36 pictures per film, and also you have to wait for it to get developed and scanned (which obviously costs money). Also, depending on the camera, you have to set pretty much everything manually, and it's easy to end up with over-/underexposed pictures if you're not experienced.
