Do you still own/use a film camera?

I just recently bought a digital camera--maybe 6 months ago or so. I still own my Canon AE1 camera and love it. I haven't used it in awhile though. The digital is so much more handy for taking pictures of my grandkids. But for those special pictures, I will use my regular camera. I have special lenses on it and it will take the picture I want without there being the delay that there is with digital. I love the digital for taking videos of the grandkids. I take more videos than I do stills with it. So I will continue to have use for both kinds.

I haven't used a film camera in awhile, nor do I own one anymore, lol. I was hoping to buy one of those polaroids that pop out the picture right then, hopefully you know what I'm talking about, lol. But, I just recently learned they're not making those anymore! They've gone to just making digital ones!

I don't own a film camera anymore. My hubby has one, doubt it is still in working condition. Our digital camera is not a good one, so we are planning to buy a new one soon. One which does not use so much battery, I hope.

Yes, but when I got my digital I gave it to my daughter. But she has never used it.
I really like my digital camera. It is a little Pentax and when I get my pics I can just put them on the computer until I get them printed out and than I can take more pictures. My battery runs out before I ever run out of room on my card.
Maybe I need another battery.

Yes, I still own a non digital camera, though I haven't used it in a few years. My husband doesn't want to get rid of it because it is an SLR. As much as I like the quality of this camera, I don't care for the size of it. I like a camera that I can fit in my purse at any given moment and not having to worry about film is a big plus!

No, I didn't become a camera geek until after they started making pretty compact good digitals. The price sure has come down on them over the past few years while their bells and whistles have gotten better and better. Now almost anyone can take halfway decent photos and anyone can afford to be a photographer, whereas in the past I just don't think that was so.

I still have my old-fashioned film camera by canon. It's already outdated but Ilet the kids bring it during educational trips because I'm not comfortable letting them bring my digital cam for it might be stolen or got lost. I still find it very impressive when it comes to precision.

no i dont, but it's funny you brought htis up lol, i was cleaning one of the closets that i have been putting off for sometime now, so i finaly cleaned it yesterday since it was nice and sunny and cool weather.. i looked inside a brown box that looked like it was from the 1950's lmao. and i pulled out 2 35mm rolls and 1 110. i started to laugh and say to myself i wonder whats on these, my husband came by and saw the rolls in my hand and said "where are earth did u find those things" "they are ancient" lol...i used to love getting these developed, the exciment on how the pictures would come out...but now n days its allll digital, i own two digital cameras and yea they are better then film but if i had a choose i won't give up somethings from the past lol... thanks for sharing.

I used to own a film camera and by reading your write out on this post, I am now wondering what happen to mine. I think I either gave it away or it got spoilt or it got lost because I moved 6 times. I have a canon ixus digital camera now. And yes it is most definitely more time saving and we get to delete the photo and take another shot if it's not nice. So easy. I think film cameras will become antique soon

A couple years ago I went out and bought a film SLR... even though I already owned a DSLR! I do use it every so often! Though I used it a lot more when I first got it than I do now! I have plans to set up my own darkroom one day. I'm sure when I do that, I'll be using my film camera a lot more! I definitely prefer digital for so many reasons, but I do enjoy shooting on film too every now and then!
