Film cameras are what we used for the longest time until digital cameras came, and then came the smartphone with its camera. But, do you guys ever still do photos with a film camera? Ones where you need to develop the film in order to obtain said photos. These days we can just look at our phones for our photos and videos, but back in the day, we had to wait weeks for our photos to come in. But, I think film looks way better than digital sometimes. What do you think?

Here in our region, film rolls are unavailable and Photo labs aren’t processing them any more. I still kept my film camera safe as a vintage piece in my collection. Films provided crisp images, even Spider man 3 movie was shot using films. Tinted films were used in movies to provide theme for the movies, gangster movies used red tinted films that would create a gloomy effect, but now they are outdated and replaced by digital cameras.

Film Cameras have become antique, no one is using them nowadays. Even Kodak stopped, film production few years back. Only few researchers use film cameras nowadays.

Yes I do remember after taking pictures in film camera and waiting for atleast a week to develop into photos and then they arrange and give them in albums. The date, month and year would also be printed in each photo. But now we just swipe and see the pics in our mobile.
