Any FILM P&S cameras out there?

M38A1

My father-in-law has been using a little Konica 35mm P&S for years. That appears to be on the fritz so I floated a digital by him with less than spectacular results. He's just at that point where he likes the film, likes the prints and doesn't do computers well.

So.... I spent some time on B&H and my local shop website today and there's really nothing out there I can find.

Does anyone make a standard little P&S for 35mm film, and if so, who so I can go pick one up for him. I'm not looking for anything fancy or expensive. Just something that he can drop a roll of film in, shoot pics and have it developed. On-board flash is a requirement as well.

Thx!

If you're looking for a new film P&S camera they are still out there.

Nikon makes a basic camera called the "Nice Touch" which is fixed focus and motorized film advance with no adjustments for $100USD:

If you want a basic zoom film camera the Canon Sure Shot 85 Platinum Zoom is twice the money but a lot more camera:

... but what he probably wants is a very cheap $40 Vivitar 3110 Camera with 38-110mm Zoom Lens:

I can vouch for Porter's as being a reputable dealer, although not my first choice for anything expensive.

I had a Pentax WR90 for years and loved it. Check out ebay and search for Pentax WR. There is a WR105 that looks to be in very good condition.

I don't know if you can even get APS film anymore, let alone get it processed, but I have a nice little Olympus APS camera that you are welcome to for whatever it would cost me to ship it.

Don't know if one is in your area, but, I go vintage camera hunting at Goodwill stores all throughout my area. They are loaded down with film point and shoots. Some are pretty nice, others are junk. However, you could pick up 2 or 3 for 5 or 10 dollars most. Might be an option.
