All the still camera films on this page have either been discontinued, have been updated or the company making the film no longer exists. Often films will be updated and older versions discontinued without any change in the name. Films are listed by Brand name.

Photographic films for still cameras that are currently available are in the List of photographic films. Films for movie making are included in the List of motion picture film stocks.

For the unrelated roll-film format produced from 1906 to 1949, see 126 film (roll format).

126 film is a cartridge-based film format used in still photography. It was introduced by Kodak in 1963, and is associated mainly with low-end point-and-shoot cameras, particularly Kodak's own Instamatic series of cameras.

Although 126 was once very popular, as of 2008 it is no longer manufactured, and few photofinishers will process it.

The Advanced Photo System (or APS) was introduced in 1996 as an alternative to or even as modern replacement for the still-popular 35mm format. The "IX240" film cartridges are optimized for fully automatic film load, enclosing the 24mm wide film completely when not in use. The film is even put back into its cartridge and returned to the user after it has been developed. Kodak stopped manufacturing APS film in 2011, Fujifilm also stopped manufacturing APS film in July, 2011 and stock had depleted by 2012.
