In? Digital cams. Out? iPhones.
Old-school cameras have made a major comeback this year, and we're here for it! There's really no better way to snap your super aesthetic memories this vacay.
But finding the perfect cam can be majorly overwhelming. That's why we rounded up four perfect starter cameras. Get the summer scrapbook ready!
Kodak - Ultra F9
If you love the vintage look of film, the Kodak Ultra F9 is a must-have! This 35mm film camera is the perfect combo of classic design and portable carry. It's perfect for capturing the soft, dreamy look of film, and its lightweight, compact body makes it the best travel companion. Plus, you'll save a lot of money investing in a film camera rather than repeatedly spending on disposable film cameras.

This summer is all the digital rage, with point-and-shoot cameras completely taking over Insta feeds. The Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III is perfect if you're looking to get into the world of digital photography.
