35mm Camera - Nothing fancy with at least
400 speed film. 800 speed film is also good at night but you'll have to test your camera's flash strength to see which
speed works best for you. Even those single use 35mm cameras have gotten good results. If you are
a more experienced photographer you may want to try infrared film. I have seen results from Polaroids, but I suggest
you only use these along with a 35 mm camera so you can compare the results. When you develop them you don't need to
go to a camera shop, the local drug store or department store is fine. Let them know you want all the pictures
developed so that you get the pictures that they might think are bad ones. These "bad ones" are normally your best photos
of paranormal activity.
Digital Camera - Regardless of what you've heard,
digital cameras are great tools for ghost researchers. Once upon a time they had their limitations and problems but
that is no longer the case. Not only do they allow you to see instantly if you have a positive photo, they can also
take photos in limited infrared range of light. (Troy Taylor) Digital cameras also have the option to download
to your computer for further enhancement.
