Is the film camera still in use?

Yes, much more than you think. Small-format film cameras are basically replaced by Quan Huafu digital cameras, but professional commercial photography is basically taken by film cameras, which digital cameras can't do at present. Film can be easily made into super-large format, so everything 4*5 inches is very small, and the image field brought by super-large format is very shocking. Professional black-and-white photography exhibitions also mostly use photos enlarged by traditional silver salts. As a non-professional use, it is basically a feeling, the graininess of the film, the feeling that people can slow down to take pictures, and the pleasure of watching the paper slowly develop images in the developing disk in the darkroom. This digital camera can never be replaced.
