Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Does a great job 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. Rating: - Good simple camera. 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. :) Rating: - Picture postcards 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. Rating: - inexpesnive.. and convenient.. very well worth the money for this camera.. only thing i can add is that it is available at walmart for $8.94. Rating: - Works great for the $ Bought the 4 pack for a diving trip to the Keys. Took 1 down to 62ft on a recent dive. Worked great for the $. see more
