Photographers and camera enthusiasts alike love the look and feel of real film, and we completely understand. The classic film camera has a higher dynamic range, color accuracy, and higher resolution than a typical digital camera, and does not necessarily need batteries or power to shoot a photo. This makes them versatile, especially for long trips and outdoor photoshoots where there may be limited access to power. We offer the most common 35mm film camera format as well as large and medium format film cameras. We also carry instant and disposable film cameras.
Because the number of frames you can shoot with a film camera is limited to the amount in the roll of film, each photo counts. Part of the fun is being choosy about picking just the right subject with just the right lighting and background. Since you won't be able to use any photo editing software afterward unless you plan to scan your images into a computer, you have to make the most of every element in your composition. Although they're not as editable as photos taken with digital cameras, photos taken with film cameras allow for creativity like double exposures and many other developing tricks in the darkroom.
Instant film cameras have self-developing film technology that can print out a photo right after you take it, so you can watch newly taken photos develop right in front of you. Instant film cameras are great for making memories, giving photos to friends, and having fun. You can take an instant film camera on vacation, on a trip to the mall with your friends -- anywhere.
Are Digital or Film Cameras Better?
The answer to this question truly depends on the style of photography you take and your personal preferences. Fans would say that nothing can beat the quality, color, contrast, and details of a film camera. The look and feel of a film camera is something you just can't get from a digital camera. On the other hand, digital cameras provide the ability to easily edit the images you take which brings a whole other aspect into the artistry of photography.
Is It Cheaper to Shoot Film or Digital?
The upfront cost of a film camera can be cheaper, but in the long run, film cameras may end up being the more expensive choice. Apart from the cost of a memory card, you can take an unlimited amount of "free" photos with a digital camera. With film cameras, you will need to purchase rolls of film and pay the development costs over and over again.
