best way to provide photo proof of inspections??

[Matt Harris]

hi I'm a recently new landlord and am getting in the habit of move in inspections and taking documents and photos of damages or general condition. Seeking advice on what's the best and most cost effective camera in taking photos? Currently I use my cell phone and then file and print out the photos on computer paper in case future damages and court evictions. My problem is the pictures and print quality aren't the best. Would a normal film camera from a store work and then have the film printed in store to be more professional and keep on file for future use. Just curious cause I heard of judges not allowing cell phone or other devices used because no date is printed on the photos. Thanks
