Need to buy a standard normal old style camera that takes the 35mm films. where can I get 1?

I don't need anything fancy like slr. Just a standard one that takes normal 35mm film. Basicaly its for someone from abroad and digital is too expensive for them and where they live 35mm cameras are still the norm and only proffesionals and enthusiasts invest in digital cameras. Plus he needs it as cheap as possible as its supposed to be a gift for someone and he can get one there for the equivilant of just over 拢10 or so. its just to show that its a gift from UK to look good. dont ask I diddn't quite get the logic behind this either. Have seen one in woolies but its online and ordering would mean postage and so it takes it up to 拢13 so might go for that but I was wondering if theres anywhere else or even local (coventry district) where I can either save on postage or the price inc postage is cheaper than woolies.

Thanx.

Have you tried Boots or Argos or do you have a catalogue like Freemans or littlewoods.

Sorry error at the end there, last to words should read 'gets it' Report It

ebay

i'd try ebay - though watch out for postage charges

a good place to start is ebay

any car boots near you,

Hunt on Ebay for an Olympus Stylus Epic.

Not only should it be within your price range, but it's a darn good camera that's easy to use and is also water proof. Back in the film days, many pros would have one of these stuck in their pocket to use along side their SLRs.

The free adds or personal adds in the back of your local paper?

try local pawn shops. watch out what you buy on ebay, especially in used cameras.

For this price, I would avoid ebay. Try either a local pawn shop or a car boot sale. You could also try a 'proper' camera shop - they may have a trade-in that is virtually worthless, but which was taken so as t give a discount on a new camera.

There are a lot of good cameras at low price on amazon for you:

Good luck!

Charity shops often have cameras, no postage like e-bay !

Good luck
