I want to take memory photos of my upcoming trip (i.e. they can be framed and will last a long time), but can't pick between 35mm and instant film. Which is better and why? (I am inexperienced in photography)

Instant is a lofi meme, get 35mm or better yet digital. Instant will eventually be fuzzier than your memories.

Sorry if I'm retarded, but doesn't film have a certain *feel* to it, which digital can't recreate?

That's kinda bs but if you want digital that is every bit as good as film get a Foveon camera, gets rid of the demosaicing and retains all the film goodness (and the bad parts too, like bad low light performance). Amazingly sharp and incredible colors though. What it doesn't have is the ability to deal with overexposure that film has.

Instant film will fade and will not last a long time. Especially if framed and exposed to light.

Don’t bring any camera. Bring a pen and a journal, those will be REAL memories.

Don't bring a pen and a journal, learn memory pneumonic and create an oral history to pass onto your children, those will be REAL memories.

A digital camera and order prints online

Continuously back stuff up to the cloud so you don’t lose any photos

Anon, foveon is ridiculously bad in low-light. Like, 1970s-level film bad. With modern film you can easily get very good results at iso3200. Now remind me, at what iso the Foveon becomes unusable?

Digital primarily. Flying with film is a pain. If you travel around Europe, many places don't do hand checks. I shoot instant for fun, and for giving away. As much as I like film, too much can go wrong.

black and white tabular grain developed in TMax, but for color going over 800 is a problem just like with foveon

If those are your two ONLY choices, 35mm. Augment with your phone camera to taste.

agreeing with anons i wouldn't recommend instant. go with 35mm, its a lot more portable than 120. but if you're inexperienced with photography i don't know why you want to shoot on film and not digital.

how long does a developed film photo last versus an instax picture before they begin to visibly degrade, assuming they are both kept out of sunlight.

Like a decade at least, they are pretty hardy.
