Oh, I was a big fan of my APS camera. Took all sorts of shots with it. Got a whole bunch of these "now, what photo album, exactly, can we put these in" panoramic shots from it.

I enjoyed the film handling, the dating of the prints, the size of the camera, battery life, etc. I even took advantage of being able to stop in mid-roll, and toss in a different one, and swap back.

It definitely went the way of the dodo, not all labs properly supported it (like not printing the date on the back of the photo).

But as a casual photo consumer, it worked really well for me.

One of my most cherished photos, and it's, honestly, a terrible photo, which is part of its charm, was taken with my APS camera.

It's a picture of my now wife and myself on a beach in Catalina from the weekend I proposed to her. The composition is terrible, we're way too small, and, even better, somehow, someway, there's a single shadow of a light pole that crosses the beach and right. through. us.

A few inches either way, and it would have not been an issue. We couldn't have staged it worse. It's a perfectly bad picture of a great day, and I love it.

Nothing to do with APS, mind, just that I took it with that camera. It had a timer :).
