Hell...you can't hardly even FIND camera film anymore...let alone getting it developed.
Film cameras are dinosaurs. I have a Cannon AF-1 in a camera bag on the shelf in my closet. It was great in it's day, but digital cameras are so much better. Back in it's day, most people bought the AE-1 because it was automatic. I bought the manual one so I could better control the shots.

You can take fast action shots if you have the proper lens. Not fast enough for a bullet of course, you have to use a special camera for that.

But if you use a fast lens you can do quite good. These were taking with my Nikon D850.

I even stopped the tail rotor with this photo of a helicopter flying over my house.





And an airplante prop.
