The Disposable Camera That Will Fit Your Needs By MaryLynn on - Updated Oct 15, 2011

I needed a camera for my daughter's birthday party and discovered my battery was down on my camera and could not find a replacement battery at the store as they were out of stock. I then decided to try one of the disposable cameras. I was amazed at the selection that was available and after reading the box for several disposable cameras I decided to purchase one by FujiFilm called the QuickSnap.

The first thing that made me purchase it was that it had a flash installed on it. I also liked the fact that you decide when you need it and you weren't being forced to use it for every picture that you take as I saw some of the disposable cameras had no turn off option for the flash. When you need to use a flash there is a button on the front that you push as you are taking the picture. If you do decide that you want to use the flash for every picture you can raise the button for the flash for continuous use.

The next thing that I liked was how small it was. It is easy to hold and aim without being uncomfortable. It comes with 27 pictures that you can take.

It is easy as can be to take a picture. First you have to turn the film advance wheel to advance to the next unused picture and then if you are wanting to use the flash hold down the button and wait for the red light to appear. Continue holding the flash button as you hold down the button to snap the picture. Then after you take all of the pictures then you can take it to any place that develops film and get them developed. I kind of doubted the quality of picture that I would get but was quite pleased when I saw how good they come out. A side note for the recycle buffs, Fuji recycles the cameras when they are returned to them from the developers.

We occasionally use this brand on vacation. Sometimes you just need to have something like this for the beach. No worries if it gets lifted off your beach towel. It sure is alot cheaper than a digital camera.

This sounds just perfect for those occasions when you want to get a lot of people involved in photographing events. I think the flash option is really great. I'll have to remember this brand.

I like the fact that Fuji recycles these!!!!! This would be nice to have as a back up if my digital camera stopped working!

I love Fujii disposable cameras. I used to take my 35mm to the beach instead of my digital, because I actually loved the picture quality better. But once, when out of film, hubby picked up a couple of Fujii's for finishing off some great family moments. The pics came out awesome! Crisp, clear and true to life.

My daughter owns a Fuji digital camera and she loves it. The picture quality is amazing. Nice to know they make disposable cameras as well.

I have never tried this type of disposable camera, looks like fun too especilaly during those 'emergency" time when we run out of batteries or memory space in our digicam .

I, too, have found these Fuji Disposable Cameras useful at times when using my digital camera wasn't appropriate.
