About Waterproof Disposable Cameras

The modern disposable camera came to light in 1986 when Fuji-film released the QuickSnap camera in Japan. While traditional cameras were still expensive the disposable kind opened the door for many Japanese to become snap-happy at a much reduced cost. Other Photographic companies soon joined Fuji-film and started to produce their own versions of cameras. Canon, Nikon and Kodak were among the other early adopters of the cardboard camera.

Film cameras are now becoming history as the world moves towards digital photography. Photo options are now included mobile phones, music players and even computers to produce quality pictures. But there is still room for proper cameras exclusively designed for just taking photographs.

While the digital camera rules the market now, the disposable camera has carved itself a niche in modern times. As our activities and pass times become more varied the opportunities to capture a memorial image increase for everybody. This is where we can use our disposable camera for those adventures where we would like quality photographs but not expose our expensive digital camera to any misfortune.

Those cheap cameras are now beginning to host features that would have normally been the domain of more expensive equipment. Integrated Flash is desirability if you need to take photographs at night or indoors. Zoom capabilities for getting in close to the subject. Probably the most advantageous aspect is their waterproof capability.

Waterproofing opens up those opportunities where the everyday person would not want to put their more expensive equipment at risk. From just having a dip at the pool to fully underwater snorkelling or scuba diving, the underwater or waterproof disposable camera performs great for its price.

With the host of features available on those cameras do not forget their main purpose. The will not perform as good as a more expensive digital camera and should not be seen as a replacement. As the name “disposable” suggests they should be used in areas where there is a risk to your equipment. Kids, water, dropping, chewed by dogs, potential of loss, parties all lend themselves to not missing out on those potential memories that can be had with these cameras.
