Thread: Who still uses film here?

I am curious as to who still uses "film" in photography rather than "digital storages". If you do, I want to ask why the preference.

Hi,

I still buy the cheap trow away camera from time to time.

Why? Because cell phone pic are crap.

Same here. Those disposable cameras come in handy sometimes. Otherwise it has been a good few years since i owned a conventional camera.

Hahaha I remember my 2007 experience. I don't have a job for 6 months and I really want to buy a camera but my budget is too small. So I decided to buy a camera with film and I feel so shy every time I take some pics at the park because people are staring at me.

Thank God after one month was the birthday of my mom so I gave it to her

I go digital all the way. The only problem is that it will die quickly!

Whether we like it or not, digital is taking up the future. Some nice immersion with the film is not that bad though.

well I'm not using it anymore<i am more comfortable with digicam.

Disposable camera's are good for a night out, but otherwise it's digital for more important engagements

I still do because a 100 speed film is 15MP, high above most expensive still DIGIcams in the market today.

I used film for many years, but have recently switched to digital

Moving with time is the best way to remain updated, i switched to it 3 years ago

i have the digital camera.. well i still use the camera that uses film sometimes.. i use all them..

I have an old camera and i adore makinkg photos with it,
they r so interesting and beautiful and i like the process of making photos!

I still have an old kodak that uses film, it comes in handy now and again. The reason I still use it is because of the good quality pictures it produces.
Not sure I will throw it away anytime soon.

I have an older manual camera, but haven't used it in years and it has become more of a collector's item. My Droid Incredible phone has an 8-megapixel camera so I don't see myself switching back any time soon.

Me...but only when I want to get something printed up large without loss of resolution - to do that with a digital camera would mean I'd have to spend in the thousands to have the best quality.

For general use though, digital is perfect

I don't use it regularly still...but I do enjoy it, and it's what got me into photography in the first place. I enjoy medium format the best though. SO fun, but also SO expensive. Also, instant film is good, but haven't shot it in a really long time for either.

i had been used the digital from many years,thats my birthday present from my uncle..

I do use film and to tell the truth it's more safe from fake. I'm sure that digital storages are rather unreliable and it's very important for example in police in criminalistic arrangements.

Lots of people still do, mostly professionals and students. Wedding photographers, as well, often develop at least some of their stills the old-fashioned way (blackroom & film).

i like digital camera and it is best.....

I have one film camera but i don't use it, because buying film is bit expensive. So now i am using digital camera.

Nope not using it. I moved to digital long ago. Films are expensive you know
