You don’t tell what part of the state you are from, but we are well-endowed. From Indy {Robert’s - which seems to do mail-order business mostly as “Used Photo Pro”}
Today I received email from Robert’s advertising availability of a new film, a color neg film from the Ilford folk

Today I received email from Robert’s Camera in Indianapolis, IN, advertising Harmon’s “Phoenix” color neg film - $13.99 for a 36 exp roll. It is said to provide vivid colors.

I save suitably named JPEG files. As long as my heirs occasionally copy these files as I have, they will last. That is up to them.

iPhones can be set to take JPEG stills and shoot more universal video files.
Setting the iPhone to “most compatible” yields JPEGs.
I use ‘gimp’, which can accept “HEIC” as inputs and can deliver JPEGs as outputs.

what lens is the preferred?
At our older daughter’s receiving her Bachelor’s degree, we were allowed to move from our seats in the stands, and briefly stand where they came down from the stage, so my usual lenses worked fine.
When our younger daughter received her Masters degree {at the indoor gym where Xavier plays basketball}, I insisted that we arrive early, and we were able to find seats where my usual 70-200 35mm equiv lens worked fine {in ambient light}.
It all depends on where, and how hard you work.

A few truisms of late 2023:
Never spend new money on old camera equipment, especially discontinued DSLRs.
An IBIS enabled mirrorless body is better than any DSLR

Any DSLR????? Even an IBIS enabled DSLR? Why would that be? Please don’t confuse the difference between DSLR and MILC with the difference between {discontinued} DSLR without IBIS and {new} MILC with IBIS.

Easy way to answer the question is to search "User List", without creating a thread.

There are limitations to using that method. Admin doesn’t like to remove members. Without going into the details, I took a “several year vacation” from this place; I asked Admin to remove me from the list of ‘members’ because I thought it was deceptive to advertisers, but his answer was to make sure I didn’t receive any email. I am now in my mid-70’s - I assume if I had died, my family wouldn’t have thought to notify UHH.

I get 7000 pic on a 23 dollar card AND it's Reusabe. Did I forget you can see pic immediately
So, you aren’t the “slow, methodical” type.

I still have my AE-1Program, but it would cost a fortune to get the pics processed! Especially during Oshkosh, when I probably take 3-5K pics. Where can they be done, anyways?
There are photographers using film today, but in a slow methodical way.

Minolta is as Minolta...as AT&T is still AT&T.

The later is not quite true. If I recall correctly, “SW Bell” {one of the companies that was created from the original AT&T} purchased several its ‘siblings’ and AT&T, then adopted the name “AT&T” for itself, so the company now known as “AT&T” is a ‘partial’ descendent’ of the original AT&T. Your statement would be meaningful only if Minolta had been broken into pieces and the products bearing the name “Minolta” were produced by one of those pieces.
