5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome little cameras that will go a long way, April 15, 2007

Kodak makes a great portable, single use camera and this two pack works great for people who want them for vacation picture taking and the like! The cameras come in a silvery foil-type wrap which protects them while still keeping it easy to open. The camera needs only to be briefly prepared by winding the wheel at the top of the camera so that the film advances. You can then snap away--you get enough film for 27 pictures per camera! SMILES

Despite the fact that these disposable cameras cost so much less than high end 35 mm cameras, they take remarkably good photographs. The quality of the photos may be very slightly less but you sure do save a lot of money if you only need a camera for your two week annual vacation or a special occasion. They come with expiration dates as well, so watch to make sure that you use them before the film gets too old to be of use to you.

The built in flash charges quickly once you touch the button on the front of the camera; and after you take a flash picture recharging the flash only takes a very few seconds. The Amazon notes indicate that you don't have to push the button again to recharge the flash; but I always do just to make sure the flash is at its strongest.

The 800 speed film gives you even more convenience as it lets you take pictures under a variety of lighting conditions. Talk about convenience!

Overall, these cameras are a great choice when you need a camera quick and you are on a budget--and who isn't on a budget nowadays? The film can be developed quickly by major retailers and the picture quality is really rather good.

Enjoy!

I have had a lot of pleasure using this camera. We hadn't had any camera in the house for many years, and there were just many times that I really wanted to take pictures. This camera is a nice alternative to the more expensive cameras. I now keep one at my fingertips all the time. I like having a "film counter" on the camera so that I can see how many pictures I have left and when it is time to tke the camera in to be developed. I like having to turn the flash on every time. I have had other one use cameras with an "automatic flash" that didn't go off half the time. This camera us a really great product.

1.0 out of 5 stars Inferior product, August 22, 2011

I was expecting high tech versatility in disposable camera, but got the lowest form of photos when developed. Not only did the view finder not aim properly, making photos snapshot in undesired directions, the long shots came out dark and cloudy. I had much more success with regular disposables bought over the counter at my local Chevron gas station. Will never, ever, buy again, this one!
