Analogue disposable cameras are very popular. It is no surprise they continue to be in demand. Analogue photography just can’t be duplicated using a smartphone. Also, there’s the delayed gratification associated with analogue cameras, knowing that you will press the shutter but not see the result for several weeks or even months.

There are sometimes great-value multipacks available, which can be used for large-scale events or weddings. The best part about them is that they come in physical prints, which you can keep or hang up, as opposed to digital files that sit on your hard disk.

Let’s take a closer look at some disposable cameras.
Fujifilm Quicksnap
Pre-loaded with ISO400 Fujifilm roll film 35mm, providing 27 exposures. In gloomier environments, you’ll likely want to make good use of the built in flash with its three-metre range. This small fixed aperture camera with a single fixed shutter speed can be used outdoors, in bright lighting. Although it is not sophisticated, it serves its purpose.
Kodak FunSaver Single Use Camera
Brightly colored, this disposable camera can capture up to 39 exposures with Kodak Kodacolor film. Also included is a flash that provides a range from 4ft-10ft. This camera comes in a tough plastic shell that should withstand many drops. It’s almost as if the old saying, “Can’t go right”, should have been applied to photographic proposals such as these. Not to be confused with the 27-exposure model, although the 39-exposure “27+12” option is typically more expensive.
Ilford Ilfocolor Rapid Retro Edition

Its unique design also makes it stand out in the crowd. You can take several photos at once using the auto-recharging flash. It has a recycle period of 15 seconds.
Kodak Flash Disposable Camera
Kodak Max Versatility 800 speed camera provides 27 exposures. Also, the manual flash is required to be ‘charged.’ The lightweight, compact disposable camera can easily fit into any pocket. This camera is more suitable for taking party shots in dimly lit rooms than some of its competitors.
