Little known photography fact....
In China the photographer asks you to "say aubergine"
"aubergine" in Chinese is "qieza" which is pronounced "chee-aza"

It's a bit more complicated than that...
If you're lucky @rvw will tell you her father's favourite naughty camera story...When I left polytechnic I worked in a photographic shop for a while in the days before digital.
One day a group of women were in, one of them looking for a camera, and someone pointed to a Polaroid.
Another one of the group came out with, 'but you only get one of those for naughty photos,' instantly realised what she'd said and went bright red.

My daughter has had a Fujifilm instant camera for about a year, she really likes it and has asked for a retro looking case for it this Crimbo.
The fact that the prints look like the '70's Polaroids is part of the retro appeal. She also has a very good digital camera that looks like a '50's / '60's film camera.
I think that if you hunt around online the film can be had at a reasonable price.

I can't thank you enough, that was really helpful.

you have experince in the art of bringing up teenagers then
Slightly OT...
If she is into "retro" and has a creative streak then have a look for a cheap Holga lens set
They are available for most cameras with interchangeable lenses and a set allows retro pictures with various tints, blurring, softening and vignetting
She can have whichever she wants but I think (with a little coercion) that she is leaning towards a camera + a pic printer. I hope so anyway, this way she gets a better camera and can still print off whatever she likes, in a decent size too. She really wants the pair of chinchillas she's seen on Gumtree in Manchester............

Go for the Chinchillas, breed them, become a furrier and make a coat to cover your costs.........
This is basically a home/ desktop printer, and unless she has a handbag the size of my wife's not truly portable, especially as it requires a mains connection
There are smaller printers (with smaller photos) that would suit the bill better if she wishes to carry it
It won't be to carry around.
I think she has read and understood the limitations of the instapix cameras and wants better pics.,
Trying to fit the Film into those chinchillas is tricky they bite dontchaknow
It won't be to carry around.
My mother has drawers of old photos, and I have a rack of External hard drives and DVDs
it is a sign of the times
There was an article recently lamenting the practice of people like me!
Museums and local historians thrive on old photos and images. Quite often dropped in from house clearances or bequests
In my case if anyone can be bothered and can get past the password protection then they could be useful, but all too many simply get sent to a tip, erased to reuse the disc, or become corrupt losing the data and all important photographic record
Maybe I should buy a printer, spend the inheritance and annoy my wife by cluttering the house with all 150,000 images in albums
Post them on the internet and they can get ignored by museums all over the world.
