Fujifilm Quick Snap Waterproof 35mm Single Use Camera

Bought this little camera for snorkeling in the Caribbean. Some photos came out pretty good, but in general photos were not super clear. However, am glad to have some memory shots. You might be better renting a real waterproof camera designed for underwater photo taking. If not, this camera is better than nothing, and my advice is to have at least two for your underwater adventures (buy before you go!).

Brought a disposable camera in my carry on on a recent trip to cozumel. Worst fears were confirmed when all the pictures came back black because of the xray machine at the airport. Had time to then pick up this camera and fire off all the photos in one dive and get them back to a one hour photo place before flying again. The photos came out better than expected. I took the camera all the way to 80ft where it didnt work because of the pressure but at least it didnt leak! It then worked again after coming back up to about 35ft. Highly recommend not purchasing the camera until you get to where your going if you have to fly!

I have gone to Jamicia 3 times in the last 3 years and each time I take the Fujifilm disposal with me. I have now used 9 individual cameras and have never had a problem. The color to me is fantastic, however the ocean is just a little more blue than real life which is not a problem for me. You take a picture by pushinig a lever and than wind a few turns to get to the next picture. The ease is slightly difficult as you are in a body of water trying to swim and focus at the same time, but i think you would have this problem with any camera.

Over time I have spent as much on the disposable camera as I would have if I bought a new digital underwater camera and in hind site I think I made the right purchase.

Used these cameras to take snorkeling pics on The Big Island of Hawaii. For such a simple, low cost product applied for it's intended use it works really well (within limits). OK, it does not have a shutter speed adjustment so it won't work for all applications. 800 speed film is needed for the reduced lighting you deal with under water but there will be some level of graininess. The quality of your image will be limited by a) movement (yours and your subject's) b) available light, c) water clarity, d) water depth, e) distance to image.

From my (limited) experience the best results will be obtained shooting a non-moving subject on a bright sunny day in clear water at a depth of no more than 5-6 feet from no more than 5-6 feet from the camera. The more variables introduced, the lower quality of the picture. You can see some of my results in the user images that I posted (#15-20).

NOTE: Kodak has a special printing process for underwater photography marketed as "Sea Processing". It it's intended to improve the print quality by tweaking color, contrast and so on. I've seen some impressive results posted online. However, these were processed by Wolf Camera and are unaltered from what they delivered on the CD. I may end up sending my negatives in for Sea Processing but most of the pics were fine with the processing by Wolf.

So, under the right conditions you can take some nice pictures with this product, just be aware of the limitations ahead of time to avoid disappointment. :)

The cameras did exactly what I hoped they would do. We went to Niagara Falls and knew we were going to be in wet spray on tours beneath the falls, the cave of the winds, and the Maid of the Mist boat to the foot of the falls.
I didn't want to use my expensive digital camera in these areas, so we bought the four Fujifilm Quicksnap four camera package.
I'm embarrassed to say that the best pictures from the trip came from those cameras. I don't know if film still takes better pictures than digital, or if I just didn't have the settings right on my expensive camera, or maybe professional developing is better, but the cameras did not disappoint. The pictures came out worthy of Postcard quality.
Just a few things I liked about using the cameras.
They slipped into a pocket easily.
The film advance was simple and the knob was large to accomodate slippery conditions.
They had a heavy duty rubber strap that would take a very deliberate effort to break.
The shutter clicker was large and conveniently placed.
An Excellent choice for what we used them for.
