FREE: Go "old school" 35 mm camera, great for beginners

is this digital or does it use film? thanks!

Sounds like a good start for a 9yo boy. i dont suppose it has a usb port?? trying to find one for him for christmas, but he doesnt need something expensive just to drop or lose, ya know how kids are. but i want something that will take good pics. thanks

It's a 35mm film camera which would be a great start for your son also! Just make sure you get Kodak film! And if he LIKES taking photos, then you can move him up to a Digital. I'm a professional(semi-retired) photographer, and I always suggest that anyone interested in photography start out with a 35mm FILM camera so that they DO know what it is TRULY like to do everything. But, I do believe that this camera is an auto-focus so it should be an easy camera for your son to use! Developing and printing aren't cheap anymore, but there are places on-line(I've been using NationsPhotoLabs forever!) where you can get as many prints as you want for a very reasonable price, quality service, AND they have a great reputation for safety! Check them out! You can always ask for a photo disc when your son has his film developed and print them at home also! Great little camera! I've got over 40 cameras in my little collection. LOL. A bit of a NUT! Hope this helps! And, GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!
