You can probably get a good deal on an older model if you don't need all the bells and whistles. Wi Fi seems pointless when you can just pop the memory card into your computer. I'm sure some hacker is going to find a way to steal photos from those cameras.

I'm mostly happy with the digital SLR I got at Target in 2013. Took a while to get the hang of it with all the settings and buttons. Autofocus seems to get dumber with each camera I've owned, but at least I have manual override now.

All the drugstores near me have apparently gotten rid of their photo processing equipment. (Where they actually send the rolls to be developed now is anyone's guess.) Funny thing is, they seem to have more film rolls for sale now, not just the single use cameras.

I haven't shot any film in a couple years, (my SLR was getting creaky with age and actually chewed up part of a roll) but the local Costco still does developing on site at least for now. I think Walmart still does as well?

I'd love do something with my Polaroid, but the film, (now made by a third party) is too expensive for me. Why no other company has ever used sonar fousing baffles me. It blows infrared away.
