If you want to try 35mm wetfilm and have to buy a camera to do so then there will be all the "popular or fashionable models" with matching prices but this is a cheaper and great value for money option typically selling for a quarter of the price of those, sometimes even less. Apart from a body you will need a Canon EF lens or that could be a Sigma EF fit and probably a new battery, these are not rechargable - 2CR5 and readily available in various brands.
If you are comfortable with using a modern DSLR or Mirrorless equaivalent, it won't take you long to get comfortable with using the EOS 600/630 camera as far as the basic controls are concerned. If you can get hold of a copy of the original manual, you may be surprised at just how many other non obvious functions it has too.
Simple, reliable, sturdy, comfortable, good looking and cheap! It will take any EF lens (no EF-S) and the 6 segment metering system will never let you down! On top of all you have a depth of field button and 5 fps that will eat a whole film in seconds! The flash sync is 125 and top shutter speed is 2000. If you need higher shutter speed and flash sync at 250 you need to go for the EOS 620 although the auto focus is a lot slower and it is only 3 fps compare to 5 fps with EOS 600.
Before you buy you need to know that all these cameras do suffer from the black like glue greasy residue on its metal shutters! If you do not know how to fix it DO NOT BUY!!! Do not pay more than a few quit for it as it might look good from outside even the shutter itself but as soon as you fire it at 5 fps the black goo will manifest itself and if you leave it there it will glue the shutter curtains! Once you manage to remove it this camera will probably work forever without any problems!
The other issue that these have is the LCD display! I’ve never had one like this myself but it is well documented that sometimes it fails after 28 years!
The canon 600 is one of the best canon made, oil on blinds aside, it still makes the grade and you get a lot of camera now for peanuts. I bought 3 of these new over the years (prefer them to my EOS1, T90, A1) as I was so impressed, I have over 10 now (secondhand buys of ebay) I still use them even though I have gone 98% digital as film still rules! If you fancy dipping your toe into the dip and dunk brigade then pick one of the up and be amazed for the price of a cheap SD card.
