  • Let's put our hipster hats on and take a trip back to the not so distant past to take a look at the magic of disposable cameras!

    Anyone who was born in the 90s or earlier will remember these guys: disposible cameras. They're simple, one time use, 35mm film cameras. They were cheap, they don't require a battery, and they took "good enough" pictures for most family events and such that eliminated the need for a point and shoot for the majority of people. Kind of like the equivilent of cell phone cameras today.
    This one in particular is the Kodak FunSaver, is probably the most common of all disposible cameras. Kodak launched the FunSaver in 1988. It exterior design has changed a bit since then, but the overall concept hasn't. It's a 35mm roll of film in a box with plastic optics, and a flash. The film inside is Kodak Max with an ISO of 800, which means images are on the grainer side- but that also means that overall light sensitivity is pretty good! The colours that this film produces are great wether in sunlight or indoors with the flash. The skin tones are pleasing, and highlights are handedled in a way I wish my digital cameras could emulate. But, if you're going to be taking pictures outdoors in the daytime, and could benifit from a less grainy image, I would recomened the Fuijifilm Quick Snap! It has many of the same features of the FunSaver and is loaded with ISO 400 film which means less graininess and less light sensitivity.
    I personally prefer the FunSaver because when I take images with one, I'm going for a retro, analog look anyway- so the grain is actually welcome. I go to a lot of local rock shows, and I really like using the FanSaver for this purpose. It's disposible nature and flash allow me to take it to shows and document with having to worry about it getting stolen, or having beer spilt on it or something. As a bonus, when my band is palying a show it's rather stress free to pass a couple around at shows so friends or strangers can take pictures! Then you get some gems like this... I have no idea who these people are.
    But then, you have to get them developed and that is just the biggest pain in the ass nowadays. You see, whereas even only like 5 years ago you were able to go to Wal Mart and get cheap one hour photo developing, nowadays film labs are few and far between- with mostly only doing weekly batches, or when they meet a certain threshold. And they are expensive.

    I like having physical photos. After my grandparents passed, I found a bunch of photos but if someone goes today, they're mostly digital photos and could get lost

      That’s interesting! I’m born 1993 and I don’t think we had a digital camera until I was like 10. My childhood photos are all polaroids and prints from disposables

      Yes, that's why I have so few pictures of my childhood. My sister got our first camera in like 2004 and it was digital already.

    Anyone that spends their money on these cameras is a fool. Any $30 digital camera that you can buy at Goodwill are better than these and can take 100.000 pictures.
