35mm Cameras

35mm Cameras are still some of the best ways to take pictures. Though I use my digital camera for most of the pictures that I take, I still keep my 35mm camera around for some things. Digital seems to be taking over, but there is still something to be said for using film in some cases. My daughter likes to take pictures just like I do, but I don’t trust her with my expensive camera. When she wants to take some photos I had her my 35mm camera and she can snap away to her hearts content.

The 35mm camera that I have was not an overly expensive one, but it was a great camera for a very long time. It still takes great pictures even though I’ve had it for over ten years. Someone I used to know worked in a photo shop, and someone had brought in his or her 35mm to be fixed. The person decided they didn’t want it any longer and bought something else. They told my friend to just throw away the 35mm camera, but instead he gave it to me. It was fully automated and a great little camera. All it needed was a new belt somewhere and it has worked great ever since.

This 35mm camera has been on a lot of adventures with me, and has even survived being dropped to the floor. Luckily one of my friends had her toe in the way when it dropped, sparing my poor 35mm camera for sustaining any damage. There have been other times when it was dropped, shook up, and jarred around, but the thing just keeps on working. Perhaps there is a little Energizer bunny inside. It still winds, snaps, and opens and closes perfectly.

If you have a 35mm and are going to get a digital, make sure you hang on to the film camera. You never know when you may need it, and you may want to have a back up camera inc case your digital battery goes dead at a very bad time. I have had to use my 35mm camera in a few moments when I really wanted to take a picture but my digital decided it was time to shut off. It is always great for kids who want to take pictures but haven’t learned how to handle an expensive digital. Film is still a good deal, and sometimes you might prefer the look of film verses a digital print anyway.

5 Megapixel Digital Camera

I have had very little experience with digital cameras, and very little of it was positive. Up until I got my 5 megapixel camera, I thought that a film camera was the only way to go. This is because I gave up too early. All I had ever used was a camera phone. It had horrible resolution. I think it was something like 2.1 megapixels. It looked so blocky that it was almost impossible to tell what you were looking at.

Now that I have a Canon Powershot 5 Megapixel Digital Camera, I know better. The image is brilliant. There is no other way to describe it. The digital camera has not replaced the film camera yet, but it has come close. Although a film camera still has a better picture, it is not that much better. Most 5 megapixel cameras definitely give old film cameras a run for their money. If the image is not quite as good, it certainly is close. Besides that, the advantages of using a 5 megapixel camera over a film camera are obvious. You do not have to pay for film or wait for the picture to be developed, and you can instantly see what it looks like. For all but the most professional photographers, a digital camera is surely the way to go!

Of course, there is a downside to a 5 megapixel camera. First of all, they are fragile. Cameras in general can be easily damaged, but much more can go wrong with a digital camera. There are a million different ways that the sensitive electronics can get ruined by being slightly jarred or banged around. Besides that, people steal digital cameras all the time. When I first got my 5 megapixel camera, no less than three people tried to grab it from me. Fortunately, each time I had it secured to the strap and was able to ward them off. Even so, I still react with caution whenever anyone walks too close to me if I am wearing my camera around my neck. I don’t want to lose it, after all. It costs a small fortune.

Despite all of these downsides, I think it is still worth it. My 5 megapixel camera has really changed the way I see the world. It is an incredible experience to be able to capture any image that I see. Before, I had to carefully select every image. I never knew how it would come out until I had developed the film. Now I can see it immediately!
