Film? Goodness, how quaint! Anybody else still use it????

Yup. Why should I pay 200 quid for a half decent digital camera and
then
have to fork out for a photo printer or just take the memory card down
a developers anyway when I can keep using my perfectly good 35mm camera
and get a free film whenever I get my shots developed.

And waste 90% of the shots.... at least with a digital, you only need to
print out those shots that you actually want, and you can erase the one
where your thumb went over the viewfinder, and the one where someone
made a silly face at the camera, and the one where your hand shook, and
the one where you didn't use flash when you should have, or did use it
when you shouldn't have, or....

And I don't use a dedicated photo printer - my ordinary computer printer
works fine. Plus, if I want to send a photo to someone else, I don't
have to haul out my scanner and waste time scanning - the photos are
already on my computer, just waiting for me to use them!
