Verdictwhich should you buy?

FunSaver 800 — Parties, Festivals & Holidays: The original fun camera. Kodak 800 film gives warm, punchy colours with pleasing grain — especially with flash. Perfect for events and holidays.

A5100 — Casual & Travel: The A5100 is one of the smallest APS-C mirrorless cameras ever made. Its 24MP sensor, phase-detect AF, and selfie-friendly flip screen pack remarkable capability into a shirt-pocket-sized body. No EVF or hot shoe limits it for serious use, but as a compact travel camera or beginner's first mirrorless, it punches well above its price on the used market.
