Compact Camera 35mm Format
 
Compact 35mm, or point and shoot, cameras are ideal for taking photos with a minimum of fuss. Perfect if you want to travel light and only require colour prints of your travels.
 
Advantages
 

- Easy to use and most models are fully automatic with built in falsh and zoom lenses.

- Wide range of films to choose from.
- Small, light and esaily carried in a pocket or small bag.
- Models available to suit all budgets.
- Good option as second camera
- Does not require accessories
 
Disadvantage
 
- Cheaper models have low quality lenses
- You can not chage lenses.
- Limited automatic override features.

- Subjects are seen through a viewfinder (not the lens) so accurate framing is limited particularly at close range and it's possible to photograph your fingers or thumbs without realising.

- Not suitable for colour slide film
