Camera advice

I want to get a film camera for gatherings that I host throughout the year.

I've been burnt by disposable cameras the last two times I used them and I don't want to tempt fate a third time.

Does anyone have a recommendation on a film camera? I know it is easy to use an iPhone for everything today, but I enjoy the mystery that film developing provides. Nothing beats opening up the film package and seeing a crazy photo. Most of my gatherings are held indoors, so I'm guessing a point and shoot is my best option.

@Jeremy Igo, I know you're the resident photographer here and I was hoping I could solicit some feedback from you on this topic. If anyone has any suggestions or can provide a good option, please let me know.

Thanks for reading in advance.

I'm sure there's a lot of great vintage film cameras out there for cheap. A friend of mine collects vintage cameras and actually gifted me an Argus C3 which was the first camera I ever used and was given to me by my dad - it was a 1950s vintage. He knows a guy who does excellent repair and refurb work on vintage cameras if you need a recommendation.

The most popular and highest rated 35mm cameras ever produced, obviously just before digital took over:

Canon AE-1, Leica M6 and the Nikon F6. 

I owned both the Canon and the Nikon at one time and really enjoyed trying different light settings, etc. You can easily find the AE-1 for less than $100 (keep in mind that it originally sold for around $300). The Leica may be a little more difficult to find and the Nikon was pretty popular as well and can be found for less than $100 also.

      Let's trade Moton

      Players don't take team friendly deals to stay in dumpster fire organizations. At 31 this will be his last shot to get one last payday and possibly his last shot to try to compete for a ring of that's what he wants. He generally fits the description of a guy who would demand a trade more than he fits the description of a guy open to take a team friendly deal with his current team.

      My point was simply, we do not know the extent of his knees.  If they are shot, as Joe Person referenced after the season (referring to the reason he missed week 17) I am not seeing that as an asset or selling low--it is complicated, I know.  But if you consider what we actually know, you are absolutely right.

      I just love getting under everyones feathers. Also, if we aren't going to extend him, and I dont see a reason too, why would we be prolonging the inevitable. If we pick at #8, the chances of this guy being BPA is very high. Nobody can agree on who should be picked at #8, we have made that obvious from the 47000 different posts about what we do with the 8th pick. I am just here to give my opinion, which I think makes sense. We act like Moton can't be replaced. This is different than trading Moore, or McCaffrey, they were young. This guy is coming off a knee injury at 31 years of age. and I'm just suggesting we draft a guy who can come in and start at RT, and could possibly switch with Ekwonu in year 2. Or who knows, the guy can probably play LT this year and we can go ahead and make Ekwonu move to RT. Instead of picking BPA I guess we all are good just picking Walker or Mykel ot Mcmillan, or a Safety at #8?  I'm not... If we can't trade back, which I think is the best option unless somehow Carter, Hunter, or Graham are available, then why would I not consider the most athletic OT in the draft instead of reaching? The people on this board are so divided on who to pick, and the minute someone comes up with a hypothetical, they spill their coffee. I LOVE IT!.
