Disposable cameras:
Good or bad? I'm hesitant because I can't delete rubbish photos, but for £2 each, they might be alright for a long weekend away.

Come on, you lot like being asked your opinion.

Good, because you can be less precious with them
and unless you're a proper anal photographer, I say capturing the moment's better than setting it up.

You can't plug them into a computer so they are all of teh rubbish.

Depends what you're doing.

Also, you say £2, but then you have to have them developed.

Would it be more cost effective to get a cheapy digicam from Argos?
I don't give a toss about the amount of megapixels, but I'd like a proper camera for my birthday celebrations.

I did exactly this and it worked brilliantly.

Well, if she's going to be doing something where she'll just be wandering around, able to stop and photograph things properly,
a digital camera would be more appropriate.
If she's off doing something all fast paced and that, she'd be better with a quick point and click disposable.
Or not, no offence, forum banter, great.

Out drinking with friends and doing a bit of touristy stuff in London.
Argos have a digicam for £15, I might get that.

Do this.

If you get a disposable you might run out of film before you know it,
whereas you can clear space/add more memory to a digital.

but you fell into the trap man, it's how this blogger operates, and i don't mean that in a nasty way, i'm nice, honest, no offence

You could get the best of both worlds by buying a high spec digital camera and throwing it out after twenty four shots.

i got a great set of photos of a festival from a disposable camera
which surprised me
(, Thu 11 Jun 2009, 10:53, archived)
Did you take the photos, or just steal a used camera out of a tent while looking for peoples' wallets and stash?

(, Thu 11 Jun 2009, 10:54, archived)
Bad

How many photos do you want to take?
And does that price include developing?

If you want to take more than a couple of rolls of film, you might find you can pick up a cheap digital camera for not much more.
(, Thu 11 Jun 2009, 10:53, archived)
Quite.
Or even a cheap phone. Two upgrades in one easy tranaction.

I have no opinion on disposable cameras
TAKE THAT

Depends what you're using them for.
I went to a wedding a couple of years ago where every party (couple, single family etc) were given
a disposable camera to make use of throughout the day. They were all collected in at the end and the
bride and groom got some great shots from the hefty amount taken. It saved the the cost of a wedding photographer,
and quite a few of the snaps were really excellent, and caught the day much better than a 'stand still and pose' professional image could.
