Today, we can now use our smartphones and digital cameras to take unlimited photos. But no matter how convenient this is, the latest technology can’t still replace old, disposable cameras when it comes to producing candid and vintage pictures. And the thrill of not knowing what you shot until the pictures arrive is something most of us would choose any day.
In this article, find out why disposable cameras are gaining popularity despite the availability of advanced camera phones and digital cameras. Also, get to know some of the best disposable cameras that you can use during travel or a casual fun out!
What is a Disposable Camera? How to Use it?
As the name suggests, a disposable camera is intended for single use. Most disposable cameras come with either a black-and-white or colored film that can take up to 27 shots. Using it is simple; you only have to look through the viewfinder and press the button. Every time you take a shot, you have to manually turn the winding gear on top of the camera to advance the film because, unlike reusable film cameras, disposable cameras don’t have an auto-wind function. After using all the shots, you may bring them to a photo lab to develop the photos. The camera will then be discarded.
Why Buy a Disposable Camera?
Digital cameras are superior to traditional disposable cameras. You can take photos with almost accurate colors, control the light within the camera to avoid bright, overexposed pictures, and share or upload photos in just a couple of minutes! Despite the numerous advantages digital cameras can offer, some people still prefer using a disposable camera because:
It’s Affordable and Convenient
The average cost of a disposable film camera ranges from $13 to $22. This is much more affordable than a regular digital camera that costs around $190. Since these single-use cameras are inexpensive, you don’t have to worry about dropping them off during a trip. If you break them by accident, you can still take the film and get the pictures developed.
Disposable cameras are also made up of light, plastic components, so they are easy to carry around. Moreover, they have a small body so they will fit nicely in your pocket! This is why many people love bringing disposable cameras during a hike or trek.
It Creates a Feeling of Excitement
You can take as many pictures as you want, and you can view your shots through a built-in LCD screen with a digital camera. Although convenient, this removes the fun and excitement of taking photos. You focus too much on getting the perfect shot, instead of enjoying capturing every moment.
Meanwhile, disposable cameras only have a limited number of shots, so you try to save them for special moments. This creates a feeling of excitement and anticipation. They say there’s beauty in faults, and with a disposable camera, every captured moment could be a beautiful disaster as you can’t preview or delete photos. It gives you something to look forward to after your trip.
It’s a Great Keepsake
Disposable cameras can’t produce clear, realistic images, unlike digital cameras. But it’s the imperfections of the photos that make them special. Plus, it’s a great keepsake as you can get the film developed and compile the results on a photo album.
