    Are there such things as standard cameras, that when you get the film developed there is a date stamp on the picture - or am I just think of digital cameras?

    No, you're right. I have it on my camera, but it's disabled at the moment and I can't remember how to enable it.

    It's very handy, cos in years to come when the memory is gone you'll know when it's taken!!

    AFAIR you have to buy special APS film that has a tiny memory chip in it to store the date and obviously have a camera that supports the feature.

    APS cameras have the ability to have the date on the front and back, but not all chemists who develop these films will have this facility. If you use fuji film it is best to go to a fuji developer for example.

    I personally turned the date/time thing off on the front of the photo as took away from the picture in my opinion.

    There are some cameras which produce horendous big orange numbers on the photos, so you would want to find out how the date/time is displayed before you buy the camera. On mine it displays them is small little white numbers on the bottom right of the photo.

    the camera I have is a Fuji nexia 265 ix Z

    hope that helps

    as for buying film with memory chips. dont know about that. but you do have to buy different film to the normal 35mm film. its handy too as there is no rolling of the film you just drop it into the camera and bobs your uncle.

    the date and time are stored on the camera

    You should be able to get a 35mm that "burns" the date on the front, although I suspect a lot of that market has gone APS or digital. APS cameras / film is not compatible with other 35mm film and is more expensive, although for a similar camera, you do have more options (panoramic shots, date and time).

    Digital cameras are killing 35mm for the general public, but is killing APS in the womb.
