>>4364518your film didnt matter to how your image looked, im not sure if you're old enough to remember but film was such a ubiquitous thing back in the day that you can get your shit developed and printed out for like 10 bucks, and these pharmacy film development places would just auto white balance your shit and do a bunch of post processing on it to make it look normal. also, just like now, they had shitty stupid bridge cameras, they had mid level cameras, upper mid level cameras, lower mid level cameras, etc all to just fill every single market void to sell as much as possible. companies never sold shit 'out of the goodness of their heart' so these cameras were purposefully gimped so that they dont cut into their upper market products.
digital cameras have been the most liberating thing to ever happen to photography actually, now for cheaper than ever you can product professional quality photos, edit it yourself for free, grab incredible lenses for cheap used, and take hundreds of photos without ever having to spend money on film and wait for it to get developed and cherrypick all the most perfect pictures. also, you don't need to purchase anything to try it out, you can rent all this top quality stuff
