Do Not Waste Your Money on this Camera!!!2006-06-11
I was extremely disappointed with this camera. It's a shame there is no option for zero stars, because it doesn't even deserve one. I bought two of them for a vacation to Belize because we were planning to do a lot of activities in and around the water, and we were hoping to capture those memories without risk to our digital camera. Now I really regret not putting a little more money into a waterproof case for our digital camera rather than wasting money on this camera and developing pictures that were only worthy of the garbage can.

All of the pictures from both cameras were very grainy - terrible, terrible quality. The camera that we took pictures with while diving was slightly better than the one we never even submerged in the water. Those pictures were so grainy that we couldn't even tell what the pictures were supposed to be of. Extremely disappointing for a camera that wasn't even submerged in water. Not to mention both cameras said that there were more pictures left on the roll when there were none, so we took shots that we thought were going to be really amazing only to find that they weren't even on the negatives.

I was so disappointed in this camera that I wrote to Kodak and they offered to send me two new disposable cameras. Unfortunately our trip to Belize was a once in a lifetime trip, so I have absolutely no need for replacements - the damage is done. And I have no desire to ever use one of these cameras again. If you are planning on using a disposable waterproof camera for capturing valuable memories, DO NOT waste your money on this one. The only thing you will receive from the photo lab is disappointment. I wish I had done more research before purchasing this one - please don't even bother with it!
grainy pictures, camera jammed2006-04-15
My husband and I bought two of these to take on a cruise for our snorkling outting. Due to weather, the snorkeling was canceled, but we did end up using the cameras. One we used for regular pictures, outdoor only, beacuse there's no flash, and it was okay, though the pictures were a bit grainy. The other I took on a camping trip with some high school kids and the camera jammed a few pictures into the roll, I could turn and turn the winder, and the film wouldn't advance, but it would let me take another picture. After fighting with it the entire weekend, I ended up getting about 10 pictures that could be made out, though these were grainy, too.
Do not buy this to take underwater pics2005-11-28
I bought this camera and it took great pictures above water, but none of the pictures I took underwater turned out. I looked at the negatives and it was like I never even clicked the shutter. The negatives were blank where I took the underwater pictures.
Poor image quality and design2005-07-28
I purchased this camera and took it to the beach. The photos were so bad, I threw them away. The images were all washed-out and blurry. Also, the film advancing mechanism is very tricky, so several of the pictures I took overlapped each other. I've used other disposable cameras before that wouldn't let you take a picture until the film had been fully advanced to the next frame. With this camera, I advanced the film until the mechanism stopped, and the camera allowed me to take another picture. Unfortunately, the film hadn't advanced fully and the next picture partially overlapped the previous picture that I had taken. What a waste of money this camera was!

Thankfully, I had also taken my digital camera, so I still had some good pictures of my trip :)

Excellent Camera2005-07-23
I love this camera!! We went to Raging Waters and I picked up a 2-pack from Sams Club for about $18.00. The pictures were gorgeous! The colors brilliant and images crisp and clear. I could not believe it :) I would not have taken my regular camera to the water park and I was able to get wonderful shots of the family without the stress of "taking care of the camera". I am very pleased and impressed. I took an underwater shot that was a bit blue-ish because of the cloudy water and lack of flash BUT still very cool shot.
