You don't have to go digital. Film is still an option and instant cameras are extremely popular. Instant formats take away the hassle of getting film developed and make it easy to share physical images with friends and family immediately. You can get an entry-level model for around $65 and film packs generally cost around $7.50. The Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 is our favorite basic model and the SQ1 is there if you prefer square prints. The pricey Polaroid I-2 is available for fans of that format. You can also buy a new 35mm or medium format camera. You don't have as many options for getting film developed as you used to—if you're in a major city it's easy to find a lab, but you may have to resort to mail order if you're not close to a metropolis. You can find old film SLRs and compacts in thrift shops and online stores pretty easily. If you want to buy something new, we like the Kodak Ektar H35 for its ease of use and economical half-frame format—it gets 72 shots per roll, not 36. And for something really different, think about the Lomo Sprocket Rocket, which captures panoramic shots with exposed sprockets.
