FunSaver 800vs KF
GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Parties, Festivals & Holidays — FunSaver 800: The original fun camera. Kodak 800 film gives warm, punchy colours with pleasing grain — especially with flash. Perfect for events and holidays.
Landscape & Outdoor — KF (2022): The Pentax KF is a rare thing — a weather-sealed DSLR with in-body stabilisation and an articulating screen at an accessible price. Video is modest at 1080p/60p, but for outdoor and landscape photographers who prefer optical viewfinders and want real weather sealing, the KF delivers in a format that is increasingly hard to find.

- Outdoor and landscape photographers who want weather sealing at an accessible price
