Swiss Plus Pro Disposable Camera Single Use Film 400 27 Exposure Flash - 2 pack

Got this for my 90s birthday. They turned out really well!

First set of disposables where all the photos came out

These bring back so many memories of my youth! I got these to show my kids how pictures used to be taken - no filters, no retakes, no previews etc - just point the camera and take a picture, wait till the roll is finished then send it off to be developed and wait to see what you get back. I remember the laughs we used to have when we picked them up and looked through them to see what turned out and how many had that big thumbprint in the corner :).These have gone up in price so much since I used to get them, so I'm not sure it's economical to use on a regular basis but would be perfect for putting on guest tables at a wedding or special occasion so each table can use it.These are the better cameras as they have a flash included so can be used in darker conditions. Take a photo and wind it on manually so it's ready for the next one using the wheel - it will stop winding when it's ready for the next one. The flash can be switched on and off with the button at the top and you have to remember to open the shutter at the front or you're going to get back just black photos.The price doesn't include developing of the film so you need to factor that in - you send off the whole unit, you don't take the film out. There are quite a few online places to send it to, and I found somewhere to develop it for about £5, delivered back. Great fun to at least have a go...

For those of a certain age, these types of disposable cameras were at one point... cutting edge. No swanky wedding or posh party would be without one, (or a few of these), placed on the table for guests to use to capture the moment.I therefore got these two Swiss Pro cameras to give to my young kids (who have only ever known my smartphone photography), so that they can use them on an upcoming family holiday. They will have to learn control.No shooting thousands of photos trying to get the best one. No seeing the image as soon as you've taken it to make sure no heads were out of frame. No in screen editing. No instant sharing around the world with friends and family. (It's amazing how far we've come). This is photography as you see it with no filters, no bells or whistles, no internet. Simply point, shoot... and then hope it comes out well.The cameras feel well made and come not only with the AA battery included (needed for the flash), but also both are individually sealed in plastic to presumably help keep the film and lens in pristine condition. So at this time I can't comment on the finished picture quality, but if it's a massive failure I'll return to edit this review.My only main concern is getting the cameras developed when we get back home. A quick internet search has shown a few places are still doing film, but it'll be another cost to get the photos back. However I guess that's the price of using a piece of photographic history.

We have just got the photos back from the disposable cameras and the quality is dreadful. Every picture in a very well lit sunny room is dark. Waste of money . Please refund me.

The aesthetic of pictures takes by cameras like these have such a lovely timeless feel to them. Although the immediate gratification of seeing the picture straight away isn't there, I do love the anticipation of having them developed then sharing them at a later date with friends and family.We've taken them on day trips and holidays so far and would definitely recommend if you can justify the price!

At the time of review you can get this twin pack of disposable cameras for around £34What would someone still buy disposable cameras ?Well I have bought a few over the years, not many but a few.One of my daughters likes to take one on holiday, even though she has a smart phone but these are not for that purpose.This time the cameras are for a weddingThe bride and groom can get an extra surprise of 34 pictures ( some might even be good ) when they come back from the honeymoon it will be a nice surprise for them..I added pictures of the spec so you can see what you are buying.Decent disposable cameras for the money, extra cost to develop the pictures

One of the cameras in the pack didn’t work.
