Advantages: Robust, value for money, relatively simple to operate, rewarding results.

Disadvantages: Small viewfinder makes underwater shots a little tricky.

I think I have only written a couple of photography reviews and both of them have been about disposable cameras! It just goes to show that I love the concept of film cameras and the element of surprise behind the whole development process. The Kodak Sport Single Use Camera is priced at £6.40 currently on Amazon.co.uk and I find this to be reasonable. Offering just 27 exposures I were a little underwhelmed at first, but that is the standard number of exposures expected with these types of camera. Unfortunately this camera also doesn't have a flash, but the joys of disposable cameras are the unpredictability and this one has that by the bucketload!

Taking a photo with this camera isn't the easiest of tasks. The main issue is that the viewfinder is so small. As the camera is designed for underwater use due to it being waterproof I think the whole process of taking an image could be improved. The camera works the same as other disposables, with a simple wind on function before/after a photo is taken. The hard case of the camera gives the feel of a really robust camera, it looks and feels decent quality too.

The ultimate proof that this camera is a worthwhile purchase is the end result. Although I had taken some shots under water i had also got quite a few on dry land, but the results were most surprising. The performance of the camera under water really did impress me, with a few clear and decent shots, some images were a bit blurry but I put this down to my skills rather than the camera itself. The 'dry' shots were also satisfying, with no complaints at all with their quality.

If you are going away on holiday or even just to the local swimming pool I can recommend this camera. Though be careful at taking a camera to a swimming pool as they are probably banned! An affordable disposable camera that will withstand 15m of water and take clear and precise images in it no problems!

Summary: One of the better underwater disposable cameras around, well priced too!
