In our survey of our colleagues who used the cameras at our company retreat, all the testers said that the cameras were easy to use overall and that they would want to use one again if given the opportunity.

We use Royal Mail for the majority of our consignments aside from large and oversized items which many come via an alternative carrier. They’re also great if you want to take photos without using your phone and don’t want to bother with a separate digital camera.It is still not a huge problem for me as I understand that each camera would come with its own limitation. Its 800 iso color negative film has great exposure latitude making it much more versatile – it could shoot in open sunlight without blowing out the highlights but also did very well in low light. Kodak’s Tri-X 400 Single-Use Flash Camera and Ilford’s HP5 Plus Single-Use Film Camera are loaded with those companies’ respective black-and-white emulsions, have built-in flashes, and are great choices that can give you slightly sharper images than our black-and-white pick. This is the tiny sacrifice you make if you opt for the fun and convenience of one-time-use cameras and want a monotone look.

We chose The Darkroom because the company has a very good reputation, we know from experience that it does a great job, and anyone can send film or cameras in for the company’s services, which include providing the negatives afterward. Ilford started making black-and-white roll film in 1912 and has focused its film production on black and white since then. If I did edit them, I would have added some saturation onto the scans, by making them a bit brighter with some vibrance in the colours. Based on personal experience, I can conclude that Kodak Daylight 800 is still very usable when you’re shooting films indoor as long as you’ve got plenty natural light or adequate light in general. Furthermore, both Fujifilm and Kodak have programs to recycle the cameras after they’ve been developed.On this Kodak it is obvious where it is, on some other cameras it will be covered by a sticker, while for cameras with a flash there also will be a battery compartment. Photos with no color can provide a separation from immediate reality that helps an image of a moment that has passed take on the weight of a treasured memory. Perhaps, there would be a group of people who just follow the trend or simply switch to film because their favorite internet personas do so. My first experiences with photography were taking photos with film in the late ’70s and ’80s, before just about anyone had a computer in their home, let alone a digital camera to carry around.

The flashes aren’t all that great and can lead to washed-out, overly bright faces, especially if you’re shooting at close range. Originally, there was not many expectations from me knowing the camera works best under direct sun and this room may be too dark. Personally, I do not find the lack of flash feature as a flaw because I am not a huge fan of flashes from film cameras. That said, they don’t provide as much control over what you get, though that works in your favor if you’re passing them out at weddings, birthday and holiday parties, or other events since they really have no learning curve.The Kodak FunSaver is like all single-use cameras with a simple plastic lens, manual film advance, and 27 exposures.

We wanted to use the same company for all of our test samples so that the processing, scanning, and printing would be conducted to the same standards for each camera. If you can’t decide between color or black and white, think about what kinds of images you want to make.

It's therefore necessary to use a film puller to extract the tail of the film and it can then be put into a camera as normal. It’s waterproof down to 15m, but as it lacks a flash, we wouldn’t recommend it for any serious diving. While these higher-capacity cameras tend to command a higher upfront cost, they’ll usually offer better value overall as most labs charge a flat rate for processing.Though I do not find it as a huge problem, it still irks me a little because I am not fully certain what causes it. As it’s a single-use you’re going to keep getting yourself another disposable camera after you’re done with it. In your heart you know that you probably just caught the essence of your family and friends, and the image you made will live on to commemorate that brief instant in time.
