The resurgence of digital cameras has created a new camera trend among Generation Z users on social media.
This trend is inspired by the nostalgia of a disconnected photographic past that Gen Z has experienced, but may not even remember.
If you are someone who wants to hop on this vintage camera revival, here are some devices you should check out:
1. Olympus Pen E-P7
Elegant and small, the Olympus Pen E-P7 has the same lines as a true vintage camera, with two different colors to choose from.
The E-P7 includes features and tools that are ideal for inspiring creative expression, making it a veritable treasure trove for those looking to express themselves creatively.
According to Wedio, given that it features IBIS, which makes recording video easy, this is the perfect camera to carry everywhere and film anything.
2. Canon AE-1
Due to the availability of FD mount lenses and how user-friendly the camera is, both professionals and amateurs prefer to use the Canon AE-1.
The Canon AE-1 is one of the best vintage cameras available since the lenses have a reputation for strong design, making them reliable throughout time.
Since it contains all the features required for outstanding images and represents a high point in camera development, the AE-1 Program is strongly recommended.
3. Pentax K1000
The Pentax K1000 has maintained its appeal among beginner film photographers throughout the years, selling more than 3 million units in its 20 years of manufacturing.
With its few functions, its simplicity of use makes it the perfect user-friendly camera for beginners, Legion Studios writes.
The camera's all-manual operation allows you to adjust the shutter speed, aperture, and TTL metering technology, which makes it even easier to expose your photos.

4. Nikon FE
Nikon FE is the ideal camera for getting back into film because of its robust simplicity, inexpensive price, and practically universal compatibility with Nikon F-mount lenses.
According to Gear Patrol, the FE was purposefully made to be a sophisticated enthusiast camera that ignored electronic gimmicks.
Favorite features of the Nikon FE include its dependability, affordability, and small size, especially when compared to its F2 and F3 siblings.
5. Leica M6
One of the most cutting-edge film cameras ever created, the Leica M6 has a body constructed of brass and zinc for strength and aesthetic appeal.
The Leica M6's ability to work with nearly all Leica M-Mount lenses makes it more desirable to photographers who want to capture images in a variety of environments.
Users can also gauge the subject's distance and shoot sharply focused pictures thanks to the inbuilt rangefinder, Wedio writes.
6. Yashica T4
The 35mm f/3.5 Zeiss Tessar lens on the Yashica T4 is superb, far superior to that on many of today's high-end digital compact cameras, Gear Patrol claims.
Apart from the lens, the T4 is a fun, straightforward, and reasonably priced tiny camera that's perfect for bringing along to home parties and day trips.
7. Olympus OM-1
The Olympus OM-1, a cult favorite, was the smallest and lightest 35mm film SLR camera ever created, making it ideal for travel and street photography.
The OM-1 incorporates a light meter, which enhances its usability and makes it very user-friendly for beginners.
According to Legion Studios, this camera's design is straightforward, with just a film advance lever, a shutter release, a frame counter, and an ISO dial.
