yes it does matter what film is used, Film have different ISO ratings, ISO is the rating of how sensitive it is to light the higher the number the more sensitive the film is. most common is 400 ISO film for Indoor and Outdoor, 1600 ISO is for faster shutter speeds which is great for Action and fast moving Objects/ Subjects.

Taking the above into account, you also need the correct format. 35mm, 120, and the older 110, 126, 127 disc, etc.

While 35mm and 120 can still be obtained quite easily, most of the others are out of production now. A nasty one is Kodak instant film, after Polaroid sued Kodak for copyright infringement, all cameras and film stock had to be destroyed.

You might find a Kodak instant camera, but you'll never get film for it.

Match the film characteristics to the lighting, presentation and other circumstances. General Photography under moderate to bright sunlight or strong flash: daylight film, about ISO100; overcast daylight, moderate indoor lighting or flash, about ISO400. Consider professional color film for portraiture/weddings if you can find VPS or an equivalent. Tungsten balanced film if the lighting is tungsten (or if the lighting is Mercury vapour and you prefer blue lights over green). Experiment: finish the last shot on a roll then switch to a different brand and take the SAME shot again with the same lighting. Note any differences for future reference. For example, you may find that Fuji produces more vivid greens/blues than the same speed and type of Kodak film. As for presentation, slides make for impressive showing. Buy fresh and stick to well known brands that have not sat in the variety store window in full sun (yes, I've seen that!).

Digital cameras don't use film, they either use batteries or you recharge the device by plugging it into your computer, power point etc. If you want to develop the photos, you take the camera to the store, like you would with film.

What kind of digital camera should you use for a Minolta SLR lens?

You would have to use a Minolta SLR digital camera with a Minolta lens. However, don't automatically assume an old Minolta lens will work on a digital camera. You need to determine whether the digital camera accepts interchangeable lenses and whether it accepts the specific Minolta SLR lens and mount you have. There is no real generic answer to this question.


How do you properly use exposures with photography?

To use exposures, it is best to know what they are. Exposures are combinations of film speed, shutter speed, and aperture. To use them best, a photographer should use the results (via the camera's light meter) to see if the combinations will create the desired light in camera's sensor (digital) or film.


Is there a digital camera version of the one use camera?

Yes, there are disposable, one-time use digital cameras, however I doubt they are very popular since they tend to be expensive ($20 per camera) and you can get a reusable digital camera for around $50.


What is the difference between Digital and CCD cameras?

Until about ten years ago cameras used film -- clear plastic with a coating that is sensitive to light. The camera exposed light from the scene onto the film which was later removed from the camera and put in chemicals to cause the images to appear. This chemical process is called developing the film. Some professional photographers, serious amateurs, and people who have not yet bought a digital camera still use film cameras. I assume these film cameras are what you are calling 'normal.' Digital cameras create images by light from the scene onto electronic sensors which convert the light falling on them to signals that can be recorded in digital files the way computer data is recorded. These files can then be transferred to computers to be printed.

It isn't broken, but it isn't a digital camera. It captures images on photographic film. Go left on Sunrise Street to the Wax Museum. Use the camera in front of the man with the gray hair, and he will give you some film. Use it to load the camera.
