Disposable cameras

A disposable camera is a small camera with a 35 mm film already loaded and no settings to adjust: wind the film on with the wheel, look through the viewfinder and press the shutter button. On this page, you will find disposable cameras from Kodak, Fujifilm QuickSnap and AgfaPhoto LeBox with 27 or 39 exposures. Most have a built-in flash for indoor and evening photos, two models are waterproof and one has black and white film. After the last exposure, take the whole camera to a photo lab to have the film developed.

Which disposable camera should you choose?

Your choice mainly depends on where you will be taking photos. You need a flash indoors, in the evening and at celebrations, while outdoors in daylight a camera without a flash and with a more sensitive ISO 800 film is enough.

How many disposable cameras do you need for a wedding?

At weddings, disposable cameras are usually placed on the tables for guests to capture moments the professional photographer does not see. One camera has 27 exposures, so with eight tables you can get over 200 photos. For the evening celebrations, choose a model with a flash, such as the wedding camera AgfaPhoto LeBox Wedding Flash or a pack of two Fujifilm QuickSnap Flash 400 cameras with 54 exposures in total.

How do you take photos with a disposable camera?

Before each exposure, turn the film advance wheel until it stops.
On a camera with a flash, use the switch to turn the flash on and wait for the indicator light to come on. The flash has a range of about 1 to 3.5 m, or up to 4 m on Kodak Power Flash.
Stay at least 1 m away from the person you are photographing, as the fixed-focus lens produces sharp images from 1 m to infinity.
After the last exposure, take the camera to a photo lab to have the film developed and the photos printed or scanned.

If you want to shoot on film repeatedly, take a look at classic cameras that use 35 mm film, such as Kodak Ektar H35. An instant camera gives you a photo to hold in your hand straight away.
