It's ok for snapshots and 5x7's.On the other hand, film is cheaper for 35mm's, they don't cost any more than APS, the variety of emulsions is much wider, and you can get a whole variety of accessories, etc, that don't exist under APS.
Yes, they are a bit larger, the film is larger. My kids have a couple of 3:1 zoom P&S 35mm cameras that fit in my hand, though, and at least one of them has quite a decent optical system.
There was no reason to decrease the neg size when they did this. I have no idea why the industry is constantly trying to feed us stuff like APS, 110, 620 (as opposed to 120/220), 127, disc film, etc, when the 35mm standard gets all the use anyhow.
