Upgrading my Co-Workers Film Camera

Unbelievably one of the workers that work at Flic Film has yet to shoot a full roll of film. I know can you believe it?? In this video she not only shoots her first full roll but also gets a much needed upgrade.
All photos in the video were shot on our Cine-Colour 250D and Developed in Flic Film ECN-2

Looked like a lot of fun.

For real, though, modern film cameras are perfectly fine too! I shoot a Maxxum 7000 (one of the first of that era) and an even newer EOS, and both are workhorses! I've also got older cameras like a Pentax Spotmatic (basically an SL with a meter) and a Yashica D that are a lot of fun to use.

I have a Canon EOS 100. Shooting with EOS film cameras have precise light meters with different metering modes. Shouting film is similar to digital. A false exposure is quite impossible. Are you used to shooting with Canon DSLRs you feel at home.

Digital film camera? How does that work? How have i never heard of such a camera?

[@eatenbyopium]

wow never heard of a digital film camera.

I'm confused by the need for this "upgrade" - for someone new to film, the more modern camera would be ideal, since you can start by using it as basically a p&s and slowly work your way up to more complexity, up to being able to run in full manual. I absolutely love vintage cameras, and they're absolutely better looking than a "modern" (late 90s") design, but that modern camera is so much more forgiving. I mean I love shooting with my Canonet in manual mode, but sometimes the EOS Rebel comes out because it's nice and light and I can throw such a wide variety of lenses on it, and even hand it off to my partner and let her shoot just by setting it to auto for her.

Nice. I had an MZ-50 - similar to the MZ-60 here - and now use a Spotmatic F, which is not a million miles different from the SL (it does have a meter though!).

Here is the thing -you can change your sensor in your camera. Each sensor (roll of film) is a WORM drive! Once processed, they resist all EMP and electrical noise. Stable to hundreds of years versus digital media rot issues.
Please enjoy your upgrade sensibly and have fun.

Developed film last a few decades max. If you burn your digital photos or scanned photos into a CD, it would last a century.

@@Kitsaplorax I have at least a 100 TDK CD-R from the 1990s still readable today. Would they last another 70 years? I may never know.

It never ceases to surprise me how such old cameras still take great pictures! Pretty cool video.

Sunny16 instead of smartphone! :-)

[@marklion315]

I'd say its a downgrade for someone like her, the newer camera would get her perfect exposure and focus at a much higher rate.

[@robdixon5016]

I think you are missing the point.

[@shang-hsienyang1284]

Choose an older camera if you want to look good. Choose the electronic film camera if you want the images to look good.

[@tipi5586]

Have never been this early.
So early that film is still wet. Do you guys have any albumen film stock?

[@davemarshall9302]

Huh?

[@charlesmacd1905]
