obsolete definition.


There are quite a lot of people who would disagree with your
characterization of "obsolete". A "35mm camera" is a camera that uses
35mm film- has been for many, many years, and will continue to be for
many, many years.

Google "what is a 35mm camera":
First hit is Wikipedia: "35mm format...The term 35mm camera usually
refers to a still photographic film camera which uses the 35mm format on
135 film. Such cameras have been produced by Leica, Kodak, Argus, Nikon,
Canon..."

Google "35mm camera":
First hit is "Buy & sell used 35mm film cameras at KEH Camera. Save up
to 40% of retail and get a 365-day warranty! Financing options
available." Not a single digital camera appears at that link. (BTW, I
personally recommend KEH Camera for used gear.)

B&H comes up a couple links down the page, followed by eBay and Amazon;
with pages of 35mm FILM cameras. All this because Google apparently
assumes that "35mm camera" equals "35mm film camera".

A suggested related google search is "best 35mm camera". That search's
first page does not include a single digital camera, only 35mm film
cameras. Perhaps Google considers film cameras to be better than
digital?! More likely, Google knows that a 35mm camera is a film camera.

A digital camera that looks and feels like a 35mm camera, is a "dSLR",
or a "35mm form factor camera", or a "35mm-style digital camera". A
"35mm camera" is a film camera.

Deal with it.
