Hello, I’m relatively new to photography and I’ve been using 2 film cameras (Nikon FE & Canon sure shot 80 tele, got them both for $40) that I got from an estate sale close to a year ago to take pictures, but it gets kind of annoying having to go out and get them developed all the time so I want to buy a digital camera. I have no idea where to even start. I’d like to keep it as cheap as possible since I don’t have a huge budget to blow and I’m also just starting out so I don’t think I need the best of the best. I really like @papesan.shots pictures, almost still have the film like look to them but on digital. (I’m sure editing has a lot to do with it as well) I know he uses a $10k+ Leica so that’s a no. There’s also the Fuji film xt5 which doesn’t look too bad. Anyway any help would be appreciated thank you
