I own a dedicated point and shoot camera as well as a traditional slr. I like the point and shoot because I dont have to worry about exposure as long as there is enough light, or focus, (its focus free), all I do is choose my composition.
I’m by no means a photographer, but I’m about to take my first ever trip to Japan next month and want to take some pictures with that “vintage” aesthetic and get them developed to put on a poster board afterwards. So I think these cameras are perfect for a casual like myself who’s just looking to do a cool project
I own 30+ film cameras, but recently purchased a reloadable and reusable “disposable” camera to get that particular aesthetic for a project. You can’t get the same look from a tack sharp “real” camera and there is zero fun in faking it with a digital camera or phone app.
Thanks for this video. You explain things in simple terms that anyone can understand. I own a 35mm Nikon that I no longer use. I prefer my digital camera. These disposables do have their place as I am not about to hand over my $700 camera or even my smartphone to some stranger to take a picture of me when traveling.
I shot between these and a Minolta Big Finder AF for years. Only in the past two years since inheriting an SLR have I learnt how to actually take pictures. My point being, disposables and P&Ss have their place, but they'll never teach you how to use a camera and get the most out of it.
In the 70s I have used a similar camera produced in GDR (German Democratic Republic), 6x6 B&W film by Orwo. To this day they are the most loved/precious images from my family collection. That camera had only portrait & panorama modes. Unbelievable results.
I never owned my own camera(other than my phone) till a few years ago when I found my grandpa's old polaroid sun600 camera. I added a new frog tongue and started shooting that quite a bit. My at the time girlfriend(now wife) then brought along a disposable camera for a trip we did. I credit those two devices for getting me into photography in the first place because that led me to seek out a modern digital camera and eventually my own dedicated film cameras (one fixed lens 35mm camera and one medium format camera with a couple lenses). I love how simple disposable cameras are but I prefer the control a manual camera offers. I do want to eventually grab a wider 35mm camera with a working sensor and autofocus

my case exactly! wouldn't exchange my slr for anything but the point and shoot is truly amazing too

definitely!!
what type of reusable/reloadable camera did you get?
Those photos are all beautiful!
I love these so so much ;-; I dont do social media or otherwise and I really want hard copy photos for photo albums of family or big trips

thank u so much ❤
There is no focusing system on a disposable camera.
They are focus free
But I like wasting my time with trash picked disposable cameras >:(
It's the novelty though.
Which disposable camera do you recommend? :)
