This week for Film Friday we’re taking a walk down memory lane to learn about the largely forgotten APS film format. While APS film is long gone, it lives on in the name of a variety of different digital sensor types.

Chris was able to shoot expired film on a Pronea 600i SLR, as well as the Canon ELPH APS film camera that was a key influence for many digital point and shoot cameras. Unfortunately, the expired film led to some wonky colors, but that’s part of the fun, right? You can check out the scans in the gallery below.

The Canon EOS R50 is an entry-level, compact APS-C mirrorless camera. A 24MP RF-mount camera aiming to attract smartphone users and, perhaps, vloggers.

See what Chris and Jordan think of the Canon EOS R8 after shooting in Charleston, South Carolina.
