I am going to buy a camera, and would like to know if there are places were you can develop your own film...?

Any cameras that any one knows of that would be worth the money? My mom wants me to get a digital camera because it costs money to develop film but I want a actual camera, not one that helps you take your own pictures, so I want to know if there are places were you can develop your own film cheaply.

I would like to develop them myself, and I don't have a laundry room. But there has to be SOME place that teaches you how yo develop the film...

Try your community college. Ours has a B&W film course that runs twice a year.

You could always look for a job in the drugstore photo lab.

Home darkrooms are not that expensive or difficult to set up. On eBay darkroom supplies are cheap and plentiful.

Film is great, so is digital. For the average photographer, digital will give you more control over the final image.

Good luck!

what do you mean develop YOUR OWN film cheaply?, you mean actually go in the dark room, roll the film onto a spindle, load in a canister and develop it yourself, or pay for someone to just develop the film and you develop you own prints or what? be specific.

You can buy all the supplies (chemicals, trays, etc.) you'll need to develop your own film and make a developing room in your laundry room if you have one!! My uncle is a photographer and when he first started out he used to do exactly this! It was really cool. And it would probably be much cheaper than going to an actual business place that would let you develop your own photos. Also, I just sold a brand new Canon EOS 30D ( Costs $1,499 at Best Buy) and the person who bought it from me loves it! It's an 8.2 Pixel and he says it's worth every penny...you might want to try that one out! Good luck and have fun!

Sorry to say - your Mother is right! Many digital cameras allow you ALL the adjustments a regular SLR camera does in order to take a great photo. The BIG advantage is you get to preview the digital photo you took BEFORE you decide to pay to print it; the "bad" ones you just delete/erase at NO cost to you. That preview also allows you to re-take the photo a different way to get a better photo - again at NO cost to you. Most digitals even let you take photo in color OR B/W! You then take the camera's "storage media disk" to a photo lab to print - with any "corrections" you want to finally make. NO place allows you to develope/print your own regular film (except your OWN lab - expensive to set up, especially for color prints) - it's all done by computerized machines at LOW cost. Just be SURE to get a digital that has 5 or more Megapixels. Mom's right again!

While it is fun to develop and process your own pictures, there is no such thing as cheaply. I now use digital camera and would not want to go back to film camera. Your best buy would be digital as you can have prints made from the photo, you can place them on your computer and touch up, crop, etc, before making a print. Try that with a film photo, possible but not cheap.
Just be sure and buy a good digital camera, there are several brands out there that are good.
