Fujifilm QuickSnap Flash 400 One-Time-Use Camera -2 Pack

Product Information

NOTE: Most disposable cameras have 400 ISO film but there are a few that have 800 ISO film loaded into it like the one recommended on the list. A higher ISO means the film is better in lower light but will have more grain in the resulting image. This article's tone or style may not reflect the encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia.

The quality of picture from a disposable camera varies with the camera and depending on the materials used to produce the camera. For example, most disposable or single-use cameras have plastic lenses and a strong flash, which give the characteristic high-contrast, saturated colors, mostly sharp, and bright images shot with disposable or single-use cameras.

This camera combines the small, compact, lightweight size of a single-use film camera with the convenience of a digital camera to create the perfect solution for those who want clear, almost instant photos without needing an expensive digital or film camera. These enjoyed some degree of popularity at first, but never really caught on as one would have expected. Most consumers felt that they cost too much and offered too little since most had poor resolution, poor battery life, could only take 24 – 36 images, no delete option or image preview (later models that did have it cost more), and you still had to take time to go to a store to get the images off of the camera. Besides, with the smartphone camera the images you just shot could be edited and uploaded to the Web in minutes, unlike a disposable film camera that has to sent off for development, which could take between an hour – several days. The element of surprise adds to the fun of seeing your pictures when you receive the prints or digital scans

What makes the Ilfocolor Rapid Retro stand out is its single-element lens combined with its surprisingly nice color film. The lens has pronounced vignetting and declining sharpness as you move away from the center — lending photos that distinct “retro” appeal — while the film is quite punchy and saturated, leaning toward warm hues and very pleasant contrast. Disposable cameras don’t work well at all in night-time settings because their exposure settings often don’t change and set up to photograph in bright sunlight. Generally, the flash is your only way of controlling your exposure. Several larger cities have film developing labs locally, a simple Google search will help you to locate any labs that might be nearby. Don’t let those disposables just sit around! Walgreens, CVS, and Walmart all develop disposable cameras but they don’t return your negatives and the scans are just okay. See this guide for where to get your disposable cameras developed for about the same price but with better scans, negatives returned, and faster turnaround time. Kodak famously advertised the camera with the slogan “You Press the Button, We Do the Rest”. The low cost of the camera and how easy it was to use, it only had one button and no other controls other than the viewfinder, made photography available to everyone rather than only professional photographers.

Customers are saying: People are recommending it and it's an easy point and shoot camera to get to grips with.Contemporary disposable cameras aren't just cheap plastic – manufacturers have stepped up their game, and the little shooters are much more resilient than they used to be. They aren't even as wasteful as you might think: single-use cameras are eminently recyclable, and many of the firms that produce them, like Kodak and Fujifilm, will break them down to reuse the parts in another batch rather than throwing them away. These little cameras are about as easy to use as it gets for the film. The film is already loaded, all you do is advance the film via thumbwheel until it won’t turn anymore, then simply look through the viewfinder and take a snap. If you want a little fill flash, just push the button up on the front of the camera until the pop-up plastic piece turns red, which means the flash is ready.
