Do you remember the days when your parents carried around digital cameras to capture all your memories and how annoying it was? Now, all you need is an iPhone and decent lighting to snap the picture in seconds. The only con to using your phone is you’re missing the nostalgic aesthetic of photos taken on a digital camera — the color, the exposure, and the iconic time stamp on the photos.
Now, tons of photo apps can give you those same aesthetics with the ease of just downloading an app, like Fuji or Dispo. But with the rise of digital cameras making a comeback, you can also relive your childhood nostalgia in your early 20s by buying a digital camera of your own.
Of course, when you’re buying a camera, you want to find one of nice quality. But you also have to keep in mind that you may be balling on a budget in college. Thankfully, there are tons of digital camera options under $75 at numerous stores that also look super chic.
