Seriously. You don't need to spend $48. If you're after that nostalgic low quality film look, just go to thrift stores and yard sales or ask any old people you know if they have an old cheap camera laying around. You will find one in no time for a few dollars or for free. They made millions and millions of cheap point and shoot cameras, and they're still laying around.
Bet you use it and then get frustrated that it will take awhile before seeing the results. The days of film labs everywhere are gone. Be brave, use one of these on those once in a life vacation, then find out 2 weeks after you came back, you got complete garbage as the result.
I have my dad's old pentax camera and all his lenses. My dad worked for a company called Rank who processed film in a laboratory they made famous British films like ' Carry on' amongst other programmes
Dude. Thanks for this. I found one in yellow and black that looks badass. Definitely picking one up with tons of film. So cost effective and retro. Truly thanks.
Who needs retro when you can get a genuine camera from that time period for 90 bucks. My first film camera was and is a Canon EXAuto for that much on eBay. Still does great photography, even has a mirror viewfinder.
You can literally buy some Zenit or some Japanese SLR camera for an equivalent of 20$ and the price comes with good quality lens like Helios, Carl Zeiss or Pentacon. Quality of the photos will be much better for much lower price. Technically the price of 20$ is mostly for the lens, the camera itself you can buy for like 5$.
Im just wondering, why buy a 50$ Lightweight semi quality almost disposable camera if you can spend 50 bucks on a decent, metal built solid vintage point and shoot camera :O
You can get a real point and shoot from the 90s for like 15 dollars (and takes actually good pictures) or something like a Minolta x700 for like 50. This is an ad not advice.
or just try to find a used SLR or point and shoot for the same money... The trick to getting cheap cameras, atleast in my case (use very braught search terms like, "old camera" and scroll for a view minutes every day) Using this methode, I bought a yashica mat 24g for 60€.
@@niklasclaro9793 Again, you dont get it. People buying this want that low fi , disposable camera look with the soft focus and vignetting. Lomography is a thing. Look it up.
@@michaelbell75yep that’s why I also mentioned “better point and shoot”, this Kodak F9 is just cheap plastic overpriced (if brand new not used), at this price tag might be able to get better used point and shoot with better build and more features
Nah these are trash. The reason they are so cheap is because they are cheap. Spend twice the price and get some SLR and the price difference is well worth
I concur! Especially if you get something like an old (nearly mint) Nikon L35AF, point & shoot. Or even a Yashika or Minolta point & shoot, with a proper lens, would be much better than this nasty thing.
As a beginner photographer please avoid this, there are a plenty of old point and shoot options with infinitely better quality, available for similar prices.
If they make a digital version that might do better. Film is expensive at the same time this is no mid range point n shoot camera on the market. The new generation digging up their digi cams from high school n using.
Please don’t buy these just get used point-and-shoot for like $15 rather than $40 Quite easy to get something better that has auto focus zoom self timer better lens
@@Yabba0008what? Why would photos look like this when they were using much better glass lenses? Perhaps you're thinking of photos made in the early 20th century with an oil print process or similar, or the pictorialism genre? Either way, this camera isn't going to get you results anything like those.
Some things cannot really be replicated on phones. When you take into account the price of film and development, it comes out to a dollar per 1 photo. And you tend to be more mindful of the shots instead of aimlessly firing your phone off into the sunset. That aside, the film look is a distinct one, it's grainy, high contrasty, you can get amazing bokeh without using the portrait mode, bodhi and white photos are more authentic instead of looking digitally manipulated. Last but not least, delaying of instant gratification, you never know what they photos look like until days or even weeks later. Viewing it that much later brings you back to the moment itself. For those reasons, film photography will always prevail.
I’ve been wanting to get this exact model forever, thank you for the video, I will be ordering it :)
It’s not even worth it to put film in these
@@Sludge_IncYeah it isn’t the best, but it’s still pretty fun lol
@@Sludge_IncWhy not? I think the pictures taken with it are beautifull
excellent choice of music
gotta learn about the dan!
Can't buy a thrill is so underrated !!
So we're bringing back old school. Love it
You can also use OLD film cameras. A lot are pretty cheap and still work really well

I've never used film camera, this one made me want to start shooting on film
You should. I recommend looking for an SLR though. I went with the Nikon EM. I got one for $40 with a Macro lens attached.

I was watching it casually but then i decided to take notes as it got too informative and felt like a good lecture.
I use Agfa 35mm the red one and I'm so happy :D
I have my dad's old pentax camera and all his lenses. My dad worked for a company called Rank who processed film in a laboratory they made famous British films like ' Carry on' amongst other programmes
another alternative could be the kodak ektar h 35 doing half frame stuff
Or just go to your local thrift store and find the whole bin of them for $2
Exactly. A camera store near me has a free bin full of old film cameras and lenses.
@@DOSStormwhere?
“Reusable disposable” So it’s a point-and-shoot 35mm, that have been around forever, got it.
$49 for a plastic film camera?
Might as well buy a sturdy metal body like a used canon or pentax with prime lens.
Dude. Thanks for this. I found one in yellow and black that looks badass. Definitely picking one up with tons of film. So cost effective and retro.
Truly thanks.
I can't find it

there are prob so many retirees who would love to sell you an old camera. i found my L35af in a box on the side of the road
Its not film camera thats expensive, its film roll that is
I’m looking for a digital version of this type of disposable camera. Why haven’t they made that
U mean this th-cam.com/users/shortsaAAm21jys_M?si=mDWpr7EtuWu1GJIC

You dont get it. Most people dont want to lug around an SLR and lenses. They want small, light and pocketable.
@@michaelbell75 then just buy a point and shoot camera 🗿

Nah, for that money you can get so much on the used market, even with all the recent markup.
get yourself a canon rebel 2000 and spare yourself the trouble. under $100, Autofocus, Aperture priority
People actually like the point and shoot thing. Thats why Instax is so popular and those cameras have zero manual controls.
@michaelbell75 mostly popular cause it's a Polaroid, imo
Liked for Steely Dan.
Just buy a vintage film camera. Old Nikon, Fuji, Minolta, Zeiss, etc are cheap
Bought a Praktica MTL3 last week for 30 pounds
Why does eveyone like that harsh direct flash look? 🤔
it's a mood
It's not a reusable point and shoot. It's just a point and shoot.
But it is reusable. Stop lying.
@@audreynogales do you call the utensils or glasses you keep in your kitchen reusable, or are they just forks and spoons and glasses?
What kind of film do you recommend?
Cool
Adakah kamera kodak yang tidak menggunakan film, tetapi menggunakan kartu penyimpanan seperti kartu sandisk?
How do you download the images to your phone
Is this one full frame or half frame?
cool
does your film lab mail back negatives?
How do you take the pictures out of a film?
bro did lomography dirty
How do you extract photos from roll???
Do it again)
But a decent film camera is like 90€
Lou mailing your film and getting digital copies back to post online kinda counteract the point of the physical format film exists as
Please answer, how do you scan this photos?
It's so pretty.
How long would it take you to develop 27 pictures?
How big are the film scan sizes?
"Disposable camera alternative" aka "cameras" as they were called until the turn of the century.,
Get used SLR or better point and shoot would be better then getting this.

suggestions?
It's cheap, widely available, simple to use, and stylish. If this is what gets someone into photography, don’t discourage that
Literally bought a manual slr for 30 quid last week. Praktica MTL3
thanks for the *lack* of suggestions!! don’t try to lead ppl away from a product without suggesting an alternative.
A point and shoot camera of 2000 is much better than that.
The hype is here. But let's be honest. The pictures really aren't any good. It's fun though.

I don't want non-black and white film cameras
Nah I just buy fujifilm any mirrorless it will have all vintage film simulators
thanks for actively making the film media die
why not use mobile
Because a mobile is digital, not film. Huge difference.
Too bad the lens on this camera is so bad.
Its a big big shit camera is like drop the money to trash. For a lot less money you can buy any very very better second hand camera! 😊

do your self a favor don't but that plastic crap, grab other plastic crap olympus
Trouble is is too many unscrupulous film suppliers charging Rip off prices
Film is dead not worth it
Film is not dead. Try harder troll.
Or you can just use your cell phone camera
phones come with cameras now, you know?
Isn't a half frame better?
The picture quality will be worse but you get more frames per roll so it’s up to you
No
