With the advent of digital, film cameras seem to have become a thing of the past. While more and more photographers are going digital because of the easiness of use and the lower prices, however, cameras that use film still have many benefits.
The main benefit of choosing film cameras is photo quality. While digital photography has come a long way in the past decade, it's still far behind film when it comes to definition. If you intend on printing wall-sized prints or playing around with larger sizes, film prints offer the best quality. In the last few years, new digital cameras with high-definition clarity have come into the market, but they are still no match for much simpler film cameras.
Another benefit of cameras that use film is their price. Even the cheapest will offer high-quality photography; in digital, however, you may need to pay hundreds of US Dollars (USD) to get the same attributes. As an example, professional film cameras can be bought for about $1,200 US Dollars (USD), while the same level in digital will cost at least double. Also, because of new models continuously hitting the market, digital cameras tend to lose value rather quickly. On the other hand, those that use film will usually retain their value over the years.
