Point & Shoot

Here you will find a list of all the point & shoot film camera reviews that have been published on 35mmc. Point & Shoot film cameras are small and mostly pocketable. They are the more basic variety that allow the photographer to concentrate on just framing/composition.

A lot of point & shoot cameras are still very affordable, but it’s fair to say that some have fallen foul of become cultishly popular – often for very little reason beyond buying trends perpetuated through social media.

As with all the content on this website, if you find something of interest, you can find more similar products by clicking on the tags you will find at the bottom of the reviews.
