Being digital is the way to go these days, especially if you want to save money on photography. Though I have a friend buying old 35mm cameras (much cheaper now), these will cost more for photo development. Stick with digital photography and save the most money on photography.
Use Rechargeable Batteries
Why batteries that have a one time use? Though rechargeable batteries do not always hold the same amount of charge, I keep multiple sets around. I’ve been using the same set for over a year. I’ve read that you can save $200 a year by using rechargeable batteries instead of disposables in one cd player used two hours a day.
Use Digital Cameras
Yes it is the year 2008. Digital cameras, well I don’t know where to begin how recycling and the ability to save money = digital cameras. Just think, you can erase pictures, print only the best photos, or just store your shots on your camera. If you still use disposables, great, but this probably is costing more in developing and cameras fees than buying a digital camera.
Printing Your Pictures
I’ve found that online photo development can be much cheaper than doing it yourself or even driving to the store to development.
1. No equipment costs
2. No gas costs for driving to the store (just shipping costs).
There are quite a few sites that print your pictures for as low as 9 cents per picture.
1. Walmart (yes that big bad corporation) prints photos online for 9 cents per picture.
2. Dotphoto has a special promotion, 50 free 4×6 prints for signing up. Visit Dotphoto.com.
Overall, stick with digital photography, rechargeable batteries, and online photo printing to save the most money on photography.

I buy old film cameras because (besides for being much cheaper to buy compared to quality digital SLR cameras) they produce better results. With large format film cameras you are getting around 100 megapixels 35 mm with a good lense can get 24 megapixel. It does in the end though cost more money for development and unless you are a professional, you might not notice the difference between the quality or it may not matter.
Anything above 6 megapixels is really good for almost anyones personal use.
It probably doesnt matter unless you plan on blowing up your photos to like 50 inches plus
So bottom line if your not a professional or sometimes even if you are, digital maybe the way to go
