How is it that disposable cameras even still exist? Once digital photography - and quality digital photography at that, with memory cards and megapixel capability so cheap now anyone can afford them - became standard, one would have thought the old instant film cameras would have gone the way of the dinosaurs. Not so, though - it is, in fact, the existence and availability of digital cameras that have made their disposable chums into a whole new beast. Art is back, and it's called "throw away".

How can throw away cameras suddenly be art? Simple. Disposable cameras let shutterbugs do something digital cameras never, ever will. With disposables, the person taking the snap has to wait before they can see what it is they have achieved. There's a delay - that old school sense of a time lag between the moment of immortalisation (i.e. when the shutter is clicked) and the instant of realisation - when the photographer gets to see how their intended shot actually turned out.

So what? So this: having a forced delay between shot and result (not to mention having to pay to see the results, with no facility for editing and re-shooting), teaches people to see the world in new ways: to respond to it with the eyes of a camera. Taking pictures with disposable cameras, which are practically the only things left to keep the time delay beauty of 35mm film alive, is a constant schooling process - an artistic training that starts to make photographers attack the visual world in new and exciting ways. Why? Because they are being forced to train themselves to see things as their camera sees them. There's no propensity here to take 100 shots of the same thing, and then go back and do it all over again. Disposable camera users have to take more time and effort with their shots - which makes their shots more interesting and beautiful.

There's a lovely little offshoot from this - a way in which disposable cameras are starting to encourage something that hasn't been seen in the photographic world for years. It goes a little something like this: disposables, for all their "real" photographic kudos, are still disposable. This is to say that they make a feature of their transience. A photo taken with a disposable is so unique - because there's no way for the photographer to impose any real control over the camera, and hence the image.

Disposable cameras have no apertures, no complex manual functions. They just have a shutter button and a winder. That means that they force their users to get very close to the original act of photography - the idea of seeing and memorialising a single instant. Disposables memorialise that instant with no filters, which makes the pictures one gets from them incredibly pure. Every disposable snap is an utterly untouched example of a completely un-edited moment.

In a digital world, that's a rarity so exciting it's no wonder disposable cameras have found themselves spearheading an artistic renaissance. Long may they, and it, continue.

Five Ways Digital Cameras Beat Film

The majority of camera enthusiasts nowadays have a digital camera and are very impressed with what they can do and the quality of the photographs that they can take with them. There are however, a few people who believe that film will always have the advantage over digital but there are so many reasons why we have seen the demise of film, here are just a few; Cost: It has to be said that digital cameras aren’t the cheapest of things to buy, at an average of around £80 for a decent digital camera compared to just £6.99 for a single use camera, it’s no wonder that some people don’t want to splash out. The thing is that it is actually cheaper to invest in a digital camera. This is because the cost of getting your photographs developed at the local pharmacy really mounts up in the end, not to mention spending out on new single use cameras or film. It is much more cost effective to take your photos with a digital camera and then you have the option of whether you want to print them at home, keep them on your computer or even show them off on a digital photo frame. Instant Viewing Pleasure: Another benefit of digital cameras is that they enable you to see the photo you have taken instantly and if you are not happy with it (who is?) then you can rectify any photography related mistakes made there and then. In the industry, glancing at the screen after each shot is known as ‘chimping’ and there are some people who hate this practice. However, there are others who believe that this enables people to learn photography skills and practices a lot quicker as they are learning from their mistakes instantly. When shopping for a new digital camera, it is well-worth keeping in mind that different shops offer different deals, meaning that, for example, the same Canon digital camera can significantly vary in price depending on what shop you go in.

A huge benefit of digital cameras is that you can view the image you have just taken instantly thanks to the LCD screen that’s on the camera. Make sure that when you are shopping for a new digital camera that you compare the prices in different shops, because for example, the same Canon digital camera can vary in cost depending on which shop you go in.

Where can i buy an old fashioned instant camera that still works?

and where can i buy the film for it?

I have a number of them - all bought at either Goodwill or at flea markets. Right now I have a Polaroid LandCamera 210, 215, 230, and 440. All of them are in working condition. They all use the peel-apart films, not the integral films (600, Spectra, etc) that most people think of when they think of Polaroid film. They use Type 669 or compatible films. They cost me $5-$10, and are generally in perfect working condition.

One thing to think of is that while Polaroid has discontinued making the film for their cameras, Fuji has decided to make some replacements for a few of the film types. I've not heard if Polaroid is going to replace 600 Film, I do know that they have a pack instant film to replace Type 669 film. They have FP-100B (Black and White) and Type FP-100C (Color), both of which fit the cameras I presently have.

If you go the route of the Polaroid LandCameras that take Type 669 film, here are some links for things you will likely need:

The LandCamera Type 100, 200, 300, and 400 Series require a battery, unlike the integral film Polaroids like 600. Here's a link to the battery from Freestyle Photo:

Here's the Fuji color film that I use for my camera - Type 669 compatible:

Here's the Black and White 100 speed film Fuji Pack Film:

And last but not least here's another Fuji Pack film that is black and white and is the replacement to Type 667 film (3000 ISO):

Polaroid Instant Photography is Back with Polaroid 300
When I was a kid it seemed like everyone in my family had those Polaroid instant cameras. Anyone who was around in the 80's knows the ones I mean. You snap the pic and the print shot out the front and you could watch it develop in front of your eyes. The t...
