Iā€™ve had the best luck with a couple different models of the canon powershot digital cameras! I think theyā€™re great quality and they give that nostalgic look to photos that remind me of when I was a kid. Some have rechargeable batteries and some take double a batteries, you can definitely find one on eBay, depending on the model it might be more expensive than others. I bought myself an sd card reader that I can plug into my phone whenever I do want to upload my photos for printing or posting.

A great digital camera from the turn of the century. I love shooting film but it's so expensive, so I bought a Powershot for like $100 on eBay. You might have one in your childhood bedroom or your parent's computer desk.

Iā€™ve dabbled in photography for about 15 years and Iā€™ve tried all kinds of film and digital cameras - as of late I have settled on these two. The Canon is a surprisingly heavy duty point and shoot digi-cam. So far itā€™s the best balance of photo quality / features I could find in an early 2000s model. The batteries are rechargeable and still available to buy new, the flash recharges really fast and it has a full manual mode if you want to get more involved with settings etc. Only downside is these shoot compact flash which you will probably need to buy a dongle for. Iā€™m sure you can find a model that shoots SD though! The Nikon EM is about as basic as you can get with a manual focus SLR. The camera shoots aperture priority auto - meaning you canā€™t control the shutter speed, however there is a really easy to use built in light meter that beeps if you are at the risk of under or over exposing the image; this makes it really easy to consistently take good photos. Great starter film camera if thatā€™s the route your going down. With all this being said - the best camera is always whatever you can get your hands on! I have shot great photos on shit cameras and shit photos on great cameras. Ya never know what is going to work for you until you try it. Have fun.

So we all think itā€™s sketchy that Tik Tok is already back right? And that they posted a statement kissing Trumpā€™s ass and making him out to be the one saving Tik Tok when he isnā€™t even sworn in yet? And now Trump wants the US government to have a 50% ownership, aka turning Tik Tok into state owned media just like I thought was happening. And Iā€™m sure most people wonā€™t be able to stay away from Tik Tok and Meta which is so disappointing. I want nothing to do with Tik Tok now because I know the app as we knew it is already gone at this point.

Thereā€™s something about the quality of digital camera photos that make a picture of anything you take look more pleasing (to me anyway). The nostalgia, the saturation, I love them. I have a couple cameras that still work from when I was a kid, but I also bought one on eBay that was similar to one that used to be a favorite of mine. I just throw it in my purse and take it everywhere, and itā€™s so much more fun than trying to get the ā€œperfect shot,ā€ especially now that Iā€™ve deleted Meta and gone with Pixelfed it seems that people love posting anything from the little things they see or their drinks. Itā€™s making photo sharing fun again! Although, if you do download Pixelfed (which isnā€™t the point of this post but) I highly recommend using it in your browser on your phone for now, theyā€™ve already made things run smoother from when I first downloaded but theyā€™re definitely still working on the app.

Iā€™ve already read 48 books in 2025 while being on my flip phone, social media detox life. Yes, some of them were just trashy romance, but still. Itā€™s been so nice to get back into reading for enjoyment again. Itā€™s nice to be out and about and not have that constant urge to reach for a phone and check notifications. I donā€™t even have most social media apps downloaded on this anymore, I love this app though, and the urge to click on an app and doom-scroll is nonexistent. This brick of technology has really turned into my iPod and Kindle, and the occasional pop back on here.
