Video: 5 compact 35mm AF film cameras you can still buy for under $100: Digital photography review
Stephen Dowling, founder of Kosmo Photo, shared a video highlighting five compact film cameras that you can use to get started with film photography without paying a lot of money.
As film photography continues to regain at least some of the user base it once had in the late 90s and early 2000s, the prices of many 35mm compact cameras in action have increased. However, there are some gems that offer a quality 35mm film photography experience that can be had for under $100. This video, shared to the Kosmo Foto YouTube Channel, features five of them, each from the 1980s and offering autofocus shooting.
