Camera Film Roll

Camera Film Roll

The cameras themselves are simple affairs, basically a plastic case with a roll of 15 or 27 exposures of film inside. You aim, click and wind the shot on. That's about all there is to them. Actual developing of the rolls of film is just like any other conventional camera that uses rolls of film. Now if you take them to some conventional photographic shops it can be expensive. Especially so if you have provided 10 or 20 or more for a wedding reception for example and there's a costly processing charge for each.

Photos taken with a digital camera literally cost nothing. The photos are kept in erasable memory and thus can always be discarded at no cost. Also the photos you would like to keep can be copied to digital media such as a computer's hard disk. With storage prices going down the cost of saving a photo on disk is practically zero. Film does cost money. With a film camera you have to pay for the roll of film, for developing the negative and for printing the photo. Every time you press the shutter button you spend money. Nowadays it seems like a foreign concept to have to wait to look at your pictures, doesn't it? A roll of camera film containing 24 or 36 exposures used to cost around $3-5 to buy and another $3-5 to develop.
