I found a point-n-shoot film camera in storage from when I was a kid, some old Minolta from the mid 90s. It's pretty neat since it has auto rewind for the when the roll is done and automatically winds, so I'm considering using it as a whatever camera if I'm just out for the day.

Any reccs for some pretty cheap but alright film I can use? Film prices are still pretty crazy currently.
>>
>>4482679
Thank you. This isn't a nophoto thread, so it is very good thing that you are passing.

>>4482687
Kentmere 400, but shoot at 200 probably.
>>
>>4482687
Seconding>>4482690. Kentmere isn't anything special, but it's cheap and forgiving. Works great at both box speed and at 200, and can make some great images

Any reccs for color film? I've still got a lot of black and white leftover (which also happens to be Ilford film)

Kodak Colorplus/Kodacolor 200, whichever is cheaper (they're the same film). Fuji's stuff is pretty cheap, but I don't like the look of Ultramax/Gold, which is what they are.
>>
>>4482716
I might go with the Fuji, I think it's about $15 on Amazon. I can never find any Fuji in stores lately.
>>
>>4482717
For a roll or a threepack? If the former, then that's insane. For the latter, it's a great price, even if the film itself kinda sucks.
>>
>>4482718
Single roll, so it's a shitload. A three pack of Kodak 400 is about $25.
>>
>>4482719
If you're in the US, then that's way too much for a mediocre rebrand. I'd look around or go online for much better pricing
>>
>>4482671
damn this board is dead. we used to fill these threads every few days : (
>>
>>4482690
Why buy 400 to shoot at 200 when they sell a proper 200?
>>
>it's an anon goes to the camera store and forgets to pick up his negatives episode
>>
>>4482746
Lot of major contributers fucked off earlier this year. Lost a couple of tripfags as well. The constant negative shittalking and gearshilling is killing us. We get what we deserve.

>>4482756
Nta. ISO 400 film is cheaper than 200 and in fact I cant even find Kentmere 200 that's in stock. I'd rather pull some HP5 to 200 honestly but I still see the logic.

/fgt/sisters is the cheap but good point and shoot extinct? I’m going on a trip to California from mid Canadia and I don’t want to pack an slr, even the Leica CL feels like it would be too big for carry on only traveling. So I thought a point and shoot might be good, but like it seems it’s either hundreds of dollars for something just decent or ewaste. 200bucks for a stylus or r1s. Am I missing some cheap hidden gem or is this how it is?

Imo, even if a picture is shit, find something nice to say about it. We need to nurture what little spark of talent or creativity we have in all of us.

Kodak Ektar H35 Half-Frame Camera, so you'll get about 75 to 80 photos per roll. Small enough to fit in your palm and it's $50 brand new. For someone like yourself who's going on vacation and may need to pack lightly I think it's a good decision.

Any shortcomings you'll find are satisfied by cameras that are significantly bulkier and much more expensive. Just remember that it's a point and shoot, so you need to be close and use a 400 iso with the flash if it's indoors or nighttime and you got to be real close to your subject or else it'll be too dark.

The garbage photo posters are not without guilt in this, the egg thing was funny for about two weeks but that autist has been beating the horse for months

Another factor is just changing demographics, the quality posters more likely to get a life and leave here, and if anyone replaces them at all it's likely some third worlder (thanks to Elon)
Meanwhile the garbage posters are more likely to stick around.
