Film-Camera Reviews

Just like the description, very compact, size of a stamp. Works really well with Nikon Coolpix 3700.

My digital camera is working awesome now with this new 256MB SD card from EP Memory. If your running out of memory on any of your digital devices (PDAs, MP3 players, etc.), then get this SD card from EP Memory and you'll be all set to go.

DO NOT GET A MEMORY STICK CARD!! You'll be sorry! Anyway, great product & highly recommend...

I used this camera for the first time while learning to snorkel.

I was surprised at how nice they turned out. I put these pics (turned digital) on a travel web site which received raves.

Nice to give to the kids too. they float if you loose them and the colors are really good.

These disposable cameras are great. I tend to prefer the APS versions because the negatives stay in the canister, and they come with an index print. The advanced APS features that require the camera to "talk" to the film won't work on these disposable models, but you do get the built-in panoramic photo option, and the picture quality is quite reasonable. Try one and I'm sure you'll like it. Also makes a great gift for young kids who might drop a camera accidently. You probably don't want to find that out with a $200 camera. :)

It's a great idiot-proof camera to take pictures when you're rushed or in crowded venues on vacation. Dealer told me it was the best value for the dollar and I believe he is correct.

My husband picked this up so we could take good shots of our new baby. Grandparents, parents and everyone else is amazed at the studio-quality shots. Hey, the baby is gorgeous, but it takes a good camera to bring out the best! We found it especially good in flourescent lighting, where many cameras leave a lot to be desired. Also, our baby has blue eyes and the red-eye reduction feature really eliminates red eyes. A definite buy!

I can handhold a 500 or 1000 mm lens without the picture getting blurred as is likely with a slower film. I have read that T-Max 3200 can be pushed to EI 50 000. One police photographer has rated it at EI 100 000 and got a usable picture of a drug deal at night from a helicopter. I have attempted EI 1 000 000 unsuccessfully, but that is far beyond even the most extreme film speed that is needed. This is an excellent film when great speed is necessary.

I really like this film. It is the fastest 35mm B&W film on the market at the moment (tied with Ilford's Delta 3200). I just like it.
Some characteristics. It's fast, and I do mean really fast. I took some hand-held, no flash shots out of the front of a moving PATH (a subway line connecting Jersey City, NJ with New York City) train pulling into a station. I was able to get shutter speeds in the range of 1/15 at F3.5, despite the lousy light. This film has loads of grain. I think that adds that old "film noir" character to the pictures, but some people might not like that.
The film can be pushed as far as 6400, it is claimed, but I have yet to try this. A side effect of all of this pushability is that the film has alot of exposure latitude. You can over/under expose the film (witness my PATH train shots!) without doing too much evil. There's already so much grain, who will notice a little more?
The appeal of this film is quite subjective. If like to take existing light pictures in public places where a tripod would be inconvenient, and you don't mind/like grainy pictures, go for it!

I have tried many papers in my search for a good inkjet photographic paper to give my clients. I am a headshot photographer, so quality is very important. I want clients to feel they are getting the best print possible.

The Pictorico Glossy film is the most similar to what is considered a traditional photograph. I recommend it, even though I do wish the price would go down just a bit. But, between price and quality, quality is more important and that's what I get from this paper.

This photo film is wonderful. There is no comparison between the quality obtained with this Pictorico product and all of the other high end major photo papers I've tried. It is far and above the best to my eye. The clarity and depth of color has to be seen to be appreciated.

A word of warning ... read the directions. My first printout was a mess; I thought I had wasted my money and that it just wouldn't work with my HP 952C. Both sides looked the same, so I assumed they were ... big mistake. After learning which side to print on, all problems were solved; I ended up with the best looking photos I have ever printed. From now on, this will be the only media I use for gift photos or ones I frame for my home.END

I've been coveting one of these cameras for a while, but at close to the $2K mark, it's a little steep, so I settled for a Fuji model GSW690 III, a great camera itself, which I bought used for about half that. Even cooler, the image size is twice that of the Contax, since it's a 6 x 9 cm negative rather than 6 x 4.5. Like the Carl Zeiss lens on the Contax, it also has a very sharp lens. Still, if someone gave me one of these as a gift, I wouldn't complain.

Another reason I like the the medium format in this Contax is that digital won't be able to touch it soon. I've calculated that the typical 35 mm negative has about 20 to 40 million pixels of information. With digital cameras now achieving 10-14 megapixels, they've reached the lower end of the my estimate for film.

However, my Fuji 6 x 9 cm has 8 times the area of a normal 35 mm negative, which translates into about 250 megapixels, which digital cameras are unlikely to achieve soon, at least in the next few years. Maybe 10 years, I'd believe that. In the meantime, I'll stick with a great medium-format film camera like the Contax or my Fuji.

This is the new version of the EOS Rebel 2000 (they called it "K2" instead of "2K", I suppose in order to avoid giving the impression that the camera is 4 years out of date, which it is not).

It is simply a great camera at a great price. It works as well as any 35mm camera on the market, has a reasonably fast winder, and best of all it takes all of the huge variety of EF Canon lenses. It is actually very light, so you can carry it around without fatigue, or you can bulk it up by adding the extended grip (which gives it a very nice feel).

The zoom lenses are a little slow. I recommend that you get the body only, and start with the 50mm f/2.8 MKII lens, which is a steal at about $70. Together, they make an outstanding, affordable, high-quality package for those of us who still love film more than digital.

In the past I purchased a SanDisk Ultra CF card because I was told the speed was much faster then the standard CF cards. So, I paid the premium and got the Ultra card and it works great.

Recently, I needed to purchase another CF card and thought I would save some money and buy the EP Memory 512MB CF card. (...)

After receiving the card I immediately installed the card to see if I made a mistake. After using the CF card I could not see and difference in how either card worked. I am not saying that the Ultra is not faster, I am just saying, I could not tell.

If you are a novice like me with digital cameras, you really do not need to spend the extra money for a faster card.
