Default Film cameras will last far longer than electronic cameras

Older digital cameras will have image sensors that have been surpassed

current market; they aren't limited to what was available at the time of
manufacture.


they can, except they're still not as good as outdated digital cameras.



You should really avoid general statements like that. I have a ten year
old digital camera that I can beat with a Holga.


you should really avoid bogus comparisons.

you were specifically talking about 35mm film slrs, therefore the
correct comparison would be with a digital slr and not some mystery
camera you're too embarrassed to even mention by name.

an older digital slr can easily produce better results than your film
cameras and in *far* more conditions too.

how well does your camera handle predictive autofocus with moving
targets. not very well, since you don't have any autofocus, let alone
something capable of tracking moving objects across the frame.

how about handheld photos at 1/2 second or longer. oh right, no image
stabilization. sure, you could use a tripod, except that they're often
prohibited and a bitch to carry if they aren't.

you said you can use any film. i'm curious, what film do you plan on
using for iso 6400?
