Discovering Unique Disposable Cameras

Disposable cameras were an invention of Fuji and Kodak in the mid 1980s. Disposable cameras will always be great gifts, because not everyone has a digital camera. This is common among disposable cameras on the market. Disposable cameras are also called “single-use” or “one-time” cameras. Photo labs often have boxes of them under the counter, waiting to be recycled.

Their low cost ($5-$10) means that there’s no big loss they crash to the ground. This is kind of similar to disposable digital cameras. They are disposed of. Prices for a camera with the capability for 25 or 27 pictures range from $9 to $19.

Disposable digital cameras are falling to $20 or less in the retail market. Of course this is like a disposable underwater camera. With a disposable digital camera, you get a flash, a timer, and a viewing monitor (depending on the model you buy).
