Or you can send your film to any of the excellent labs advertised here on Photrio. Minilab scans are useless, the are done by an operater who knows enough to load the film and press the "start" button, no more.IMO if you fear grain you'd be better off with an iPhone or virtually any recent nonfilm camera. I find the 800 excellent but I'd absolutely avoid any small minilab in favor of Costco because of standard minilab film damage. As well, many minilabs simply scan your film and make your print, throwing the film away.
If you must use film and a minilab you should also order a scanned disc, in order to make reprints possible, rather than assuming they will return the film.
That is what I plan to do. Do you think I am crazy trying to get good photos with a Canon Sureshot 60?Or you can send your film to any of the excellent labs advertised here on Photrio.

No - not crazy.That is what I plan to do. Do you think I am crazy trying to get good photos with a Canon Sureshot 60?
It was photography in a church with an autofocus camera that soured me on autofocus cameras entirely — I wound up with a bunch of out of focus shots because the camera could not determine proper focus. I much prefer to have a camera that I can focus manually. Also, If the church is any size, there will likely be little ceiling or wall bounce from your flash, so keep that in mind when figuring our flash exposures if you change your mind about using flash. Good luck!That is what I plan to do. Do you think I am crazy trying to get good photos with a Canon Sureshot 60?
I'm not familiar with that camera, I'll assume it is auto-everything and has dx film coding. If you know it's limitations and work within them, you can probably get decent results. I have a couple Pentax IQ Zooms, they do a good job once I got to know how to use the focus and exposure locks.That is what I plan to do.

Yes I have shot there before with digital. I shot 1600 ISO with 1/40 shutter speed and F4.2 aperture.Can you get access to the church at an earlier date, and take some test photographs under similar lighting?
I wish to take photos with film that will create a classic look. I will be running a digital camera as well. I am fine with some grain because of the classic look I an going for.What exactly do you wish to do?
Your sureshot has (at it's widest) an aperture of 4.5 zoomed out. Zooming in the lens gets even slower (f 6ish) It's slowest shutter speed is 1/40th. Others have suggested 1/15 of a second for shutter. Your camera does not provide that option. You've shot there before and needed a 1600 iso film, F4.2 and 1/40th to get a proper exposure. I think you've answered your own question. You need a 1600 iso film. Fuji superia 1600 if you can find some as it's been discontinued.Yes I have shot there before with digital.

I am planning on using a tripod.
Not sure if this is correct. According to this website it can do 2sec exposures. https://austerityphoto.co.uk/canon-sure-shot-60-zoom-review-poundland-challenge-camera-no-7/It's slowest shutter speed is 1/40th.
very good point. Although, crystal focus on the church and bride, along with a blurry groom might be a cool effect! ...and this is the groom right before he passed out!The OP hasn't said what he is going to photographing in the church. If it is the building itself then that is one thing and long exposures should not be a problem. If it is people then that is another entirely.
