Advantages: Great for when you fear for your digi

Disadvantages: Don't see the photgraphs til they're delvoped, good range of dispoables including underwater ones

How very behind the times are my reviews?! Disposable cameras! 512mb Mp3 players! Eaasshhh. Sometimes the oldies are the goodies though and in my opinion disposable cameras still have their place.
The last one I used was a Kodak ULTRA. On this camera there was photographs firm Alton Towers where I didn't want my digi to get wet or squashed, nights out from where I was worried in a drunken state I'd leave my precious digi in some skummy toilet and from my holiday day out at the Aqua park.
In all of these situations a disposable was the perfect option to stop me worrying about my digital camera. Although I'd be gutted if I'd lost/broke/had stolen the disposable because of the photographs on it, I wasn't going to be devastated at loosing the £4.49 my camera cost in my local Morrisons.

The camera it's self is a good size, lighter than a digital one but similar in size. The buttons are large enough to hit properly and the flash comes on really quickly so your not stood there for ages like an idiot waiting for it.

The drawback of these camera's is the obvious one that you don't see the photographs for in my case 3 months on a trip to Boots one hour processing. I'm always a bit disappointed when I get a bad photograph as I've missed something I wanted recorded. The plus side is of course the laughs you get at some of them!

The cost of processing is also a negative, around £5 for 27 photographs! 27 Photographs to be printed off would cost about £2.70-£3? Very expensive. You then have all the effort of scanning them to put them on likes of facebook or in an email.


Overall I think my Kodak disposables are great for the occasions listed but sometimes you just need up to date technology!

Summary: Not for everyday use.
