I am not a big fan of disposible cameras eather, I use them when given to me, but I wont buy them, I still use my cannon when it is imparitive I get a good shot, there is just no way a digital will beat a cannon in this regard.
I do have a jam cam digital camera I paid $29.oo on sale, Its window frame is off to the right of off center abit, enough to the point when I turn my camera on its side every one gets a crew cut. It is a pain in the butt with batteries, but I Buy duricell copper tops for longer use of my camera. be sure to buy them fresh, old battires die fast. dont listen to what any one says about other batteries I have tried them all, even "the bunny" they just dont hold up. They cost more than other brands but if you compare them to the cost of film developing and disposible cameras, the price realy becomes not an issue any more. The other batterie brands are cheeper in cost, but you will have to buy twice as many batteries to take the same amount of pictures, that makes them more expencive to use than the duricells.
when taking your digital out in the cold, keep the batteris in your inside shirt or pant pockets to keep them worm. if they get cold your camera will not work. dont put batteries in you pocket with keys or loose change, the batteries can heat up to the point of melt down and spill acid and give you a nasty little burn not to mention put air conditioning in your pants.[shocked]
after all the pains of learning how to use the digital, I like it and take more pictures than ever befor, I got me a memory chip that cost more than the camera, and takes 4 battries to fill the chip up.
I have noticed that in some stores that a roll of film can cost as much as a disposible camera.
the best way to look at is is for the price of 10 disposible cameras you can have as nice of digitel camera you will ever have the need for. Just remember, the more you want the camera to do the more it will cost, and the more batteries you will need to operate the camera.
