What advantages does 35mm film have over high-end digital?


In this day and age, do 35mm film cameras have any advantages over high-end digital cameras?

Answer



I don't think we can talk about quality difference anymore. The definite difference, in my opinion, is the need of power of digital cameras. If you are going mountain climbing then a film camera might be more appropriate since mountains still lack power plugs.


Also, film cameras have a very low starting price. If you are a novice it is economically convenient to be able to have an SLR for almost nothing just to see if you like photography.


Other than that, there's the love some people have for manually developing film, but that's about it from my point of view.
