● Why are film cameras popular now?

Recent digital cameras with over 40 million pixels cost around 700,000 yen.

However, medium format film (Brounie 120) cameras, which are no longer produced, also have the capability of approximately 40 million pixels. Furthermore, with the descriptive power of film and vintage lenses, it's possible to capture photos with a unique taste and atmosphere.
35mm film also has the capability of approximately 15 million pixels, and due to the high pixel count, A4 size prints are possible! Developing 35mm film and converting it to CD data costs around 680 yen.
