Kodak FunSaver Disposable Camera Review
Kodak FunSaver Disposable Camera Rating: ★★★★★ 27 exposures 800 iso film with flash Best Disposable Camera Icon Despite being the most common and cheapest of the cameras we reviewed, the Kodak Disposable Camera performed best. Its 800 iso color negative film has great exposure latitude making it much more versatile – it could shoot in open sunlight without blowing out the highlights but also did very well in low light. Its grain is very subtle and has very pleasant warm tones. All the cameras reviewed have plastic optics but the Kodak FunSave seemed to be sharper than the rest. If you’re looking for cheap disposable cameras that produce great results, this will be one of the best choices.
Fujifilm QuickSnap Disposable Camera
Fujifilm QuickSnap Single Use Camera Rating: ★★★☆☆ 27 exposure 400 iso film with flash Best Disposable Camera Icon

Of all 8 of the disposable cameras we reviewed, the QuickSnap is the easiest to use.

It’s the smallest and has a practical flash switch that allows you to keep the flash on. All the other cameras we reviewed you need to press the button to charge the flash for every shot but this camera you can keep the flash constantly on by pushing the flash with up which will glow red when ready. Having a good flash is important for this camera because has finer grain 400 iso film which means need the flash for the lower lit scene, unlike the 800 iso cameras. The QuickSnap is best used in open daylight with no flash or in low light with flash. Its colors are nearly as pleasant as the rest – it often goes magenta for skin tones and whites. If you’re looking for a cheap daylight camera that excels for landscapes this camera would be a great choice. Fuji also has the best selling waterproof disposable camera. If you’re in a situation that exposing the camera to wet environments, while the quality isn’t as good as the FujiFilm QuickSnap, consider the FujiFilm QuickSnap Waterproof camera.
Rollei Inferno Ragazzi Disposable Camera
Ilford XP2 Single Use Camera Rating: ★★★★☆ 27 exposure C-41 XP2 black & White 400 iso film with flash Best Disposable Camera Icon

New to our lineup for 2020, the Rollei disposable camera comes pre-loaded with the Rollei RPX 400 27 exp. B&W film is which is a great film stock with very good exposure latitude. The camera has an identical design as the JCH Kassha but produced better and more consistent results. It has a 31mm f/9 at a 125th lens that’s pretty sharp from 3-5ft and gets pretty soft after 15ft. Like the other disposable cameras, it performs best in bright sunny days or close shots using the flash. The flash is reliable and if you’re in anything other than bright light, it’s highly recommended to use the flash. This camera did create some interesting distortion which is most-likely from the film being a little loose inside of the camera. Overall it’s a fun camera to shoot with – we liked the look of the Rollei RPX 400 but if we had to choose, we’d still pick the Ilford Single HP5 with seems to be sharper and have less image distortion.

LomoChrome Purple Simple Use Disposable Camera
Lomography Simple Use Lomochrome Purple Camera Rating: ★★★★☆ 36 exposure with color negative 400 iso film with flash Best Disposable Camera Icon This camera is physically the same as the Lomo color 400 but is packed with a unique film, LomoChrome Purple 400 which is a mimics color infrared film in some ways. The photos this camera produces are other-worldly. It’s a fun camera and of all the Simple Use cameras this is the one we recommend most because LomoChrome Purple isn’t a cheap film to buy so it’s fun to shoot once then once the roll his done, take it out and load another 400 iso color negative film in the camera.
Lomography B&W 400 Simple Use Disposable Camera
Lomography B&W 400 Simple Use Single Use Camera Rating: ★★★☆☆ 27 exposure C-41 XP2 black & White 400 iso film with flash Best Disposable Camera Icon This camera is truly unique due to the fact that it has the classic true B&W HP5 Plus 400 iso film in it. While the Ilford HP5 Single Use has more noticeable grain than Ilford XP2 Single Use the tones, contrast, grain, and exposure latitude are far superior – just look at the details in the shadows! (photos below). This b&w disposable camera is a great overall shoot that performs well in open daylight, low light without flash, and in low light with flash. Of all 3 B&W disposables, this the one recommend most. Even though you could reload HP5 film in a Lomo Simple Use, the Ilford plastic optics are still sharper.
Ilford XP2 Single Use Disposable Camera
Ilford XP2 Single Use Camera Rating: ★★★★☆ 27 exposure C-41 XP2 black & White 400 iso film with flash Best Disposable Camera Icon This 400 iso B&W disposable camera is surpassingly sharp and is great for open daylight shooting but not in low light.  The XP2 film has very fine grain, great contrast, beautiful tones, and can be developed as C-41.  It’s a great camera for classic nature landscapes and cityscapes, as well as natural light portraits.  This 400iso B&W disposable camera is surpassingly sharp and is great for open daylight shooting but not in low light.  The XP2 film has very fine grain, great contrast, beautiful tones, and can be developed as C-41.  It’s a great camera for classic nature landscapes and cityscapes, as well as natural light portraits. 
JCH StreetPan Kassha Disposable Camera
JCH Streetpan Kassha B&W Single Use Camera Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ 27 exposure Camera Hunter StreetPan 400 iso B&W film w/ flash Best Disposable Camera Icon We were excited to shoot with the new Kassha disposable camera loaded with 27 exposure JCH StreetPan 400 film JCH is short for Japan Camera Hunter . This film is known for its’ contrast and punchy tones that can look really good when properly exposed which is the major flaw with this camera… This camera has a fixed aperture of f/9 with a shutter around 125th of second which would be fine for daylight shooting but since this film seems to be darker/needs to be overexposed it produced many dark images. Even with the flash, it produced dark images on occasion. And on top of that, it’s 31mm lens doesn’t have a wide depth of field which produces blurry images from roughly 15ft to infinity (fixed focus 31mm lens). It’s a sweet spot for focus and it’s fast is 3-5 feet. If you’re looking to shoot a B&W disposable camera we definitely recommend the Ilford & Lomography cameras over this one. And if you love JCH StreetPan then we highly recommend shooting it in manual control camera which will enable you to get better exposures. We’ve included some image below that show the good and the bad. The JCH StreetPan Kassha is a B&W disposable 27 shot camera loaded with JCH StreetPan 400 film. The camera is a very simple disposable design, with a flash, a fixed focus 31mm f9/11 lens. Kassha is the Japanese word for the click sound of a camera shutter.
Kodak Water & Sport Waterproof Disposable Camera
Kodak Water & Sport Waterproof Disposable Camera Rating: ★★☆☆☆ Kodak MAX Versatility Plus 800 Film Best Disposable Camera Icon Kodak Disposable Camera FilmLoaded with Kodak Max 800 which is a stop faster than the Kodak Fun Saver – this allows it to be more versatile in lower light areas like underwater. Its’ rugged build and waterproof down 50ft make it ideal for winter water and extreme outdoor activities. If you don’t plan on shoot underwater though we highly recommend the Kodak Fun Saver which produces higher quality images. Wine this camera is encased with a plastic cover it seems to be less sharp and due to no flash, it’s not ideal for indoor use. Of the two underwater single-use camera, the Fuji Waterproof Quick Snap and this, we definitely recommend the Kodak which produced slightly sharper images and more consistent image quality.
Ilford B&W HP5 Single-Use Disposable Camera
Ilford B&W HP5 Single-Use Camera Rating: ★★★★★ 27 exposure C-41 XP2 black & White 400 iso film with flash Best Disposable Camera Icon This camera is truly unique due to the fact that it has the classic true b&w HP5 Plus 400 iso film in it. While the HP5 has more noticeable grain than XP2 the tones, contrast, grain, and exposure latitude are far superior – just look at the details in the shadows! This b&w disposable camera is a great overall shoot that performs well in open daylight, low light without flash, and in low light with flash. Of all 3 B&W disposables, this the one recommend most. Even though you could reload HP5 film in a Lomo Simple Use, the Ilford plastic optics are still sharper.
FujiFilm Waterproof QuickSnap Disposable Camera
FujiFilm QuickSnap Waterproof Camera Rating: ★★★☆☆ 27 exposure 800 ISO film – no flash Best Disposable Camera Icon

The best selling disposable waterproof camera is the FujiFilm QuickSnap Waterproof. This is how it compared to other disposable cameras.

fuji Disposable Camera FilmFujiFilm QuickSnap Waterproof CameraThis is the only waterproof disposable camera we tested. With its Pre-loaded Fujicolor Superia X-TRA 800iso 35mm film grain film and no flash, you’ll only want to shoot it in daylight or underwater that’s being hit by light. It produces better slightly better skin tones than the Fuji QuickSnap and does better in low light due to its 800iso film. This all-weather camera with an oversized shutter button is ideal for shooting outdoors in wet and snowy conditions, and operates up to 35 feet underwater. However, If you don’t plan on getting wet, we don’t recommend this camera.
