Yep!

Photography is an old hobby of mine, and although I was more into it in
the '90s (both B&W and color), I've recently picked up a couple of NOS '90s-'00s P&S cameras to try with some different film stock.

Some of those P&Ss offer surprisingly many features, and are also of pretty
decent quality if you know what to look for. Among them a Samsung Fino 170 Super (with what looks like rebranded Schneider lens) and a Pentax IQZoom EZY-R Date (Espio 738G QD), which is also surprisingly sharp...

As for film stock, I've recently tried out Kodak Professional Ektar 100, AgfaPhoto Vista+ 200 (rebranded Fujifilm Fujicolor C200) and Fujifilm Superia Premium 400 (the Japanese variety). Among those, I like Ektar best for its vivid colors, but actually the Vista+ is rather punchy, too. The Superia Premium is the most neutral one, albeit very nice at that, I think. All of them have fine grain yet still offer good sharpness.

In the past I've used both SLRs and DSLRs, too, but have settled for one digital compact camera (a Panasonic DMC-TZ10) and one digital bridge (super zoom) camera (a Panasonic DMC-FZ200), which have both given me very nice and sharp pictures over the years, although perhaps with a tendency of colors being a little muted or neutral.

Just picked up another postage paid film development mailer on sale here, so I have one ready when spring/summer arrives. =)
