Was this a good investment? 35mm Film Camera?
So, I had an Insignia digital camera. 7MP, cheap but decent. It broke last week! 
So today I was walking through the thrift store and I saw a Pentax Film Camera (works perfectly, ZOOM is WAY better than my digital cameras) for $3.72!
Just wondering, was it a good investment to replace my broken digi cam with this film camera? (BTW, I LOVE the feel of this film camera. more fun, more clear, more exciting)
Well, its a GREAT buy if it’s an SLR. If it’s just a P&S still not bad as long as it’s working properly. You won’t know for sure though until you take your first roll to be developed. I’ve seen some that work perfectly at first look, but have misfiring shutters or some other no-so-obvious issue. Same goes for an SLR though.
