Film photography has an allure that many can’t let go of. One of the reasons is the rich colors, which sometimes digital cameras cannot replicate, unless you buy presets or get a vintage compact camera. If you are a young enthusiast who wishes to buy a film camera that doesn’t pinch your pocket but is also easy to use, then these point-and-shoot cameras on the list will be a good start for you.
Canon Snappy LXII
The Canon Snappy is a 35mm point-and-shoot camera with a fixed lens that was introduced in 1991. It offers controls such as shutter speed up to 1/180sec, metering options, and can be used with film with ISO 100, 200, and 400. There is also a built-in flash with a guide number of 9. You also get a huge optical viewfinder, which is helpful for people with vision issues. If you are looking for a camera that offers enough controls, then this portable device is for you.
Lomomatic 110
The Lomomatic 110 uses 110 cartridges, works on batteries, and you need to extend the camera to make images. It is designed as a spy camera, so it is best to use it as one. It is a fun camera, meaning you can do a lot with it. Moreover, it is the closest film relative of the digital Micro Four Thirds. As for the images, you get a nice grainy look, which makes things even more interesting. However, you must remember, 110 films are not developed everywhere. And so, it can be a challenge.
Reto Pan
The Reto Pan is an excellent camera that offers a chance to make panoramic images. The device has a switch that allows easy access to 35mm images in a panoramic format. It has a manual and a rewind; you get a 22mm lens with this. Since it is a simple point-and-shoot camera, it is better suited for young photographers who want to have fun. As for the image quality, that depends on the film you choose to use.
