i need help! i wanna buy my first film camera (i’ve been shooting digital since middle school) and since it’ll be my first camera i don’t wanna buy something too expensive! so any recommendations? i’ve been looking at the Ilford Sprite 35mm & the Kodak EKTAR H35 Half Frame 35mm. not sure which is better but from my understanding of it, they both use the same film so i have that figured out😭

Morning in Yokosuka Japan, 2022 35mm film, Ilford Sprite 35-II

Little reusable action loaded up with Wolfen NC500. Most everything was underexposed because of the limitations of the chosen gear. My own fault. I loved shooting with the Ilford Sprite 35. Anyways, anything that has a half decent exposure from this roll is getting posted even if the composition is horrific.

hi! i hope this message finds you well. i have a question regarding photography, if you don’t mind me asking!

i’m looking to get a point and shoot film camera and was wondering if there are any models in particular that you’d recommend. a lot of suggestions i see online are quite expensive for a beginner, and the reviews are usually coming from experienced photographers detailing things i don’t quite understand lol. i don’t know what i should be looking for!

your photographs are so beautiful and inspiring. thank you <3

first of all, thank you for the compliment <33

if you're just starting out, i would noooot get any of the commonly recommended cameras because they're way too pricy. what you need to keep in mind is that these point-and-shoots from the 80s-2000s are eventually bound to fail because of the electronics, so spending too much money on something that will be a brick someday is not necessary, especially if you might just want to play around. i use a canon prima 5 (i think it's called a sureshot in the us) that i got for 25€ from some random person on ebay, not knowing if it would work, and it's great. so, don't listen to the hype (if you're gonna drop hundreds to thousands on a camera, it shouldn't be a point and shoot lol).

it's hard to give specific recs as there are soooo many p&s cameras on the vintage market, and even i don't know every brand on there. it's good to remember that these cameras were the go-to for most families in the 90s and early 2000s, so there's a wide variety from cheap garbage to premium quality, and it's hard to distinguish which are which. instead of specific models, i would think of what kind of things you want. for example, i knew i didn't want a super wide angle lens, i wanted a flash i could turn on and off, and i wanted a fixed focal length (no zoom) and decent aperture. this narrowed down my choices quite a lot. is it going to just be a camera for snapshots or do you want to really practice some serious photography? if the latter, a point and shoot is okay but not ideal, and you will get much more out of a cheap slr. however, for the former, a point and shoot can be nice.

you can go for one of the well known brands (canon, nikon, olympus, pentax, yashica, minolta), although cheaper cameras can also be fine. usually, the zoom models will be much cheaper than fixed lens versions. the trendier and sleeker something looks, the more expensive it will be. so, if you want to save money, get a camera that looks like what your parents would have used on a vacation lol. what i would look for is detailed descriptions of the functions, ideally it's been film tested and even better when they attach pictures of the test roll. you can usually tell the difference between someone that's just selling a camera they know nothing about (descriptions will be very basic and have little detail) and someone who's knowledgable (they might say why they're getting rid of the camera, for example). another tip if you want to be on the safe side is to buy from commercial sellers on ebay; at least in germany, you can return it if it doesn't work within a specific time window. so, if you buy a camera, shoot a test film and get it developed asap to see if everything's in order.

however, if you want to save yourself all the trouble of finding a used, vintage camera (although they will probably be better quality than anything new), there are some companies making basic point and shoot cameras. the caveat here is that they're usually not super capable, they might be half-frame cameras (you get double amount of pics but the quality won't be as high), and the lenses are likely made of plastic, meaning the quality won't be on the same level of a decent vintage point and shoot. however, the upside is that you can comfortably buy them in stores and you can be assured they work. there's the kodak m35, ilford sprite 35 and one from agfaphoto. however, if you're hunting for the more "cheap" p&s film look and just want something easy and simple, one of these may be the right choice for you. however, i'm not convinced they will last as long as a vintage p&s, considering the price.

i hope this helped, but let me know if you have more questions!

Mit so einer point-and-shoot schießen ist schon recht befreiend. Kein Denken, einfach nur abdrücken. Stur mit f=9 und 1/120s Belichtungszeit kriegt man doch erstaunlich gute Fotos hin...und natürlich obligatorische #mirrorselfies.
