Film cameras are cameras that have a role of film inside of them that are used to take the photos. They come in a variety of sizes and types although the most common is the 35mm single-lens reflex camera (SLR). It is popular as it is inexpensive and is of a good quality.
This type of camera uses mirrors so that what the photographer sees through the viewfinder is what the lens sees. this means that the photographer is seeing exactly what the photo would be like. When the photograph is taken the mirrors then flip up so that the film is then exposed to the light entering the lens. This takes the photograph.
The shutter is always closed until the shutter release button us pressed, this means that the film is kept light-tight and so is not damaged. The SLR can also use changeable camera lenses so that photos can be taken at various distances, zooms and angles. It is one of the few camera that have complete interchangeable lenses.
Once the film is complete, it must be processed. This takes place in a dark room and must have the correct solutions and conditions for it to work properly. The photographs can only be seen once the whole film has been exposed and processed.
I think this would be bad as it would be hard to know if you've taken a good picture or not as you cannot see the photographs. It could also be hard to get the mix of things in the dark room completely correct for the photographs to be processed right. However, it would be a good camera for beginners as they would have a range of lenses that do different things that they could try out.
