So, while 35mm film is a huge improvement over 110, it's still not viable, in this day and age, IMNSHO.

Polaroid-type instant-developing film would be an option. (I recently read that polaroid-type box cameras are in development because such cameras don't require other devices, or fiddling with software-operated devices, in order to view the pictures--it's literally "point, shoot, and view.") |
