Kudos to the Disposable Camera!


During my last vacation I became a big fan of the disposable camera. Whatever you call them—disposable cameras, single use cameras, ready to use cameras—they all have advantages for today’s photographer, whether beginner or enthusiast. Let’s look at some of the reasons why:

1. Disposable cameras are cheap. Disposable cameras are affordable enough that you can buy one for each of your kids, which is an especially great idea when on vacation or at a special event. Children have a unique point of view. They can capture some amazing candid camera shots—and be happily occupied while doing something constructive. What’s not to love about that?

2. Disposable cameras are easy to use. You don’t have to worry about ingesting pages and pages of complicated information. Even a three year old can effectively use a disposable camera.

3. Disposable cameras are great as a backup. Because they are cheap, you can afford to buy one as a backup option. That way if you accidentally drop your camera in the lake, you won’t be left without a camera for the rest of your vacation. Accidents do happen to even the most coordinated of us and you certainly wouldn’t want to miss capturing family memories.

4. Disposable cameras are great for places like the beach or on a hike. If you don’t want to take your expensive point and shoot or SLR to a place where water, sand, and dirt might be a concern, disposable cameras are a great option. Check out our waterproof cameras for underwater shooting and weatherproof cameras for capturing your child’s next soccer game. Having a disposable camera in your car is also a smart idea in the case of an accident. You know you have an easy and quick way to document any damage.

5. Disposable cameras come in great options for special events. Have a wedding? Why not get personalized disposable wedding cameras to place on each table? Guests can take care of some of the candid photos. Disposable cameras also come personalized for graduation, patriotic themes, vacation themes, and more.

6. Disposable cameras come with options such as black and white shots, digital developing, message cameras, Spanish message cameras, and more.

So the next time you are packing for vacation, getting ready for your daughter’s soccer game, going to the beach, or planning a wedding, take a look at our disposable camera options. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
