# Nice picture
Is that taken with a digital camera in black-and-white mode?

# Nope,
I took it with a 5 quid disposable camera and got the film scanned at boots.

# I had no idea
the disposables looked so good.

# If you get enough light into the lense
any camera can look good. That is really all you should ever pay for on a camera, a lens that lets in a lot of light. The rest of a bad camera is usually built with as many ways to trick you into thinking that the lense is good enough.
