Single-Use-Camera Reviews

Firstly let me just say, that I'm slightly confused as to all the different 35mm Fuji 'quicksnap' cameras out there. The 2 that I used were like the one shown here, but a slightly different color. Anyway, on to the review:
The Flash indicator took a while to light up, but we got it going after some persistance. The photos were ok, nothing great though. The results produced fairly natural looking colors, but many of the indoor/nightime shots were slightly blurry and grainy. Many photos appeared under-exposed, like the Flash wasn't bright enough. 3/5 stars.

Recently I bought 2 One Time Use Cameras. The Kodak Max HQ Camera and a Fuji Quicksnap Flash Camera. After finishing both Camera's I had the Kodak Camera/Film Developed at a Kodak Express, then the Fuji Camera/Film developed at a Fuji Lab. The Results were very different to each other. The Fuji Quicksnap Flash is clearly the Superior Film/Camera. While the Kodak Prints came back slightly blurry with not much color, the Fuji Prints were Crystal Clear with exceptional Clarity and Bright Colors. The Fuji Camera was also cheaper than the Kodak HQ!

I work in the photo processing world, I am a manager of a high volume photo lab and I must say that Fuji film has taken very large steps to over take Kodak in the film world. From their minilabs, to their digital kiosks, to their one time use 35mm cameras, Fuji film is the way to go. From truer colors, more real film grains, to the obvious less blur, this camera is a wise decision for a one time use camera.

I used this camera for the first time while learning to snorkel.

I was surprised at how nice they turned out. I put these pics (turned digital) on a travel web site which received raves.

Nice to give to the kids too. they float if you loose them and the colors are really good.

These disposable cameras are great. I tend to prefer the APS versions because the negatives stay in the canister, and they come with an index print. The advanced APS features that require the camera to "talk" to the film won't work on these disposable models, but you do get the built-in panoramic photo option, and the picture quality is quite reasonable. Try one and I'm sure you'll like it. Also makes a great gift for young kids who might drop a camera accidently. You probably don't want to find that out with a $200 camera. :)

Just a heads-up to those thinging about these cameras. DON'T USE THEM FOR ANY IMPORTANT PHOTOS! These cameras are used cases with new film added. I don't not recommed them, they are cheap, but be aware. I've had problems with 2 different cameras(I probably wouldn't buy again, but maybe), and wish I'd read a review like this before taking them to Mardi Gras...oh well, who wants to remember a swamp tour in an fan boat anyway.

I purchased for a wedding and these took as good as pictures as the Kodak Wedding pack cameras that we had purchased also. I highly recommend.
