Kodak Plus Digital One-Time-Use Camera

As has been pointed out, this is not truly a digital camera and the hype on it is rather misleading. This is merely a regular throw-a-way camera with PLUS a digital scanning to get a CD made of your photos if you desire. That is okay with me, as I pretty well knew this when I bought the thing.
This camera does give acceptable photographs of the normal fixed lens variety...nothing fancy here. These cameras are okay to take while floating the river and you half way expect to take a dunking. I personally am not going to drag one of my thousand dollar plus cameras around in those conditions. Yet, these cameras take the general type photo you might want to record a particular incident, etc.
I can understand people being upset over the advertisement of this camera to a certain extent. On the other hand, if you read the box, you pretty well should be able to figure out what you are getting. I am not the sharpest crayon in the box, and good grief, I figured this out pretty quick. Most of you folks are a bit brighter than I am so it should not take much of a leap for you. Now my sister...well that is another story. I am sure Kodak could paint a picture of a small red car on the box and she would be convinced she was getting a new MG.
All in all, you pretty well get what you pay for here...nothing to run around and shout about, but a serviceable camera that you can get a CD from if the dealer to go to honors it.
I will give this one two stars because at least it works which is more than I can say for a few of the disposables I have purchased over the past few years.

Really not a digital camera...it only allows you to get a free CD with processing. Misleading and any standard disposable camera will do instead on paying high $$$ for these.

Buyer beware!

Yes, I believe the product name is very misleading. They are using a play on words to make people think it is a digital camera. It is NOT! It uses regular film.

The "Plus Digital" is the part that they get away with... It's regular film, plus digital scanning to get a CD of your photos.

So, technically, they are accurate.

But morally, the name is MISLEADING. They are taking advantage of people. I will NEVER buy from them again.

There are true digital "one-use" cameras out there. You must look hard to find them, but they are out there!

If I went in to a Camera store and asked for a DIGITAL camera, the clerk would show me a camera that would port pictures directly to my PC. It would also give me the ability to edit out pictures I did not want.

So in buying the Kodak Single Use Digital Camera I thought I would get the same. Not so, the Kodak product is nothing more than a regular single use camera. You can't edit out pictures you do not want and most agregiously you MUST take the camera and pay for hard prints at your local film developer.

Shame on me for not asking more questions. But, shame on KODAK for purposeful misrepresentation.

Kodak makes a fairly good disposable camera with their "Kodak Plus Digital One-Time-Use Camera." If only the camera itself was digital!!! What Kodak doesn't clarify is that the only thing "digital" about this is that you get a free CD of your pictures developed when you pay for the camera. OUCH--false advertising as many others have noted. Yes, the camera takes some pretty good photos considering it's a single use camera. Indeed, many of the pictures I've taken using this camera come out almost as well as they would have if I had used a more expensive, conventional 35mm camera instead. However, the camera itself is still NOT digital!

Don't open the box and unwrap the camera from its foil paper wrapping until you're ready to use it; and make sure you use this camera before the expiration date printed on the cardboard box. The 800 film helps make this camera very useful for both outdoor and indoor photos; and it's easy to carry this camera because it's so light and compact. It can fit into a woman's pocketbook, a man's briefcase, backpack or just about any overnight travel bag. You also get 27 exposures per camera; this makes the camera useful for vacations or extensive photo taking days like weddings and other ceremonies.

Unfortunately, the pictures I got back are not as clear and crisp as they would be from a real digital camera or a conventional 35mm camera using the individual rolls of film you put in and then take out when you're ready to have the film developed. I hope that Kodak remedies this problem quickly.

Overall, this single use camera is convenient and budget priced. However, the camera itself is NOT digital, which is a awful trick Kodak uses to fool consumers into thinking they're buying a digital single use camera. The word "digital" refers to the fact that the cost of the camera includes a "free" Kodak CD of your pictures. It just doesn't have the technology to take the very best quality pictures so I hope Kodak works on this in the near future. A single use camera is your best choice if you're on a budget and want a Kodak quality single use camera; but let the buyer--and Kodak--beware about putting any trust in this particular camera!

Two stars, mostly because of the terrible way this is marketed. Let's stop misleading consumers with this one, Kodak!
