KOD 8951428 POWER FLASH ONE TIME USE CAMERA 2 PACK 27 EXP KMF135

I have used these cameras many times on vacation and the pictures really DID come out fairly well! Oh, sure, the quality of the pictures won't be 100% as good as the pictures you would get from a digital camera or a standard, more expensive and more professional 35 mm camera. The pictures may at times be very slightly grainy but they provide excellent records and memories of my experiences.

Each camera is also very lightweight so you can carry several at a time in a bag as you travel. I especially like the built in flash that is easy to use (just push a button in the back of the camera and after 10 seconds or so the flash is ready). I remember my mother's Kodak Instamatic camera from the 1960s when if your flash cube had been used (after only four pictures) you were out of luck unless you had another flash cube. No such problem here! Thank goodness!

One cautionary note, however: Amazon correctly notes that the best flash range is when you're taking pictures of people or things between 4 feet and 14 feet away. Remember that to get the best use out of the flash!

The camera is a single use camera; this means that after you use it you take the entire camera to the place where you can get film developed and they will take care of the rest. No worrying about whether or not you removed the roll of film negatives correctly without exposing them to too much light. The Kodak "MAX" 800 film speed also makes it useful for taking pictures under a wide variety of lighting situations! You get 27 exposures, not just 24--a nice plus! SMILE

Overall, this is an excellent camera for the many, many people who want to travel light or who are on a budget. It is compact and easy to carry; keep one in the glove compartment of your car just in case there's an accident and you need to take pictures of the scene. The camera is also affordable. I give it four stars instead of five simply because the picture quality just isn't the very best although for most people like me the pictures it takes are fine. Thank you, Kodak!

I have a digital camera now, but for years I used these exclusively - mostly on trips. My camera is in the shop, so I've reached into my bag of single-use cameras with a few exposures left on them.

With these new shots, I've finally gotten around to developing images I took up to 3 years ago, and I'm amazed at how nice the images are. I'm even more surprised at how well the colors have held up after sitting in a drawer all this time. The flash even still worked on some cameras that I bought in 2005.

I love my digital camera, but I'm going back to single-use for situations/settings where I'd rather not take the digital one.

I have used many cameras in the life, Cinemaster II for single 8, double 8, 126, 110, Disc, 35mm, but I always went back to my 110 camera because it gave me great picture quality, good real color and perfect lighting.
I was going to take a vacation to Disneyland and California Adventure, when I realized that you could no longer have 110 film developed anymore. I even called the Kodak Film Shop in Disneyland and they were closing and no longer developing film there.
I always think of Amazon.com, so thru my searching on Amazon, I found the Kodak Max 35mm Single use Cameras with Flash (2 pack). Now first of all you get 2 light-weight cameras in one package. Each camera allows 27 pictures each. That's 54 pictures in all. Each camera contains already inside an 800 Speed 35mm film.
My first time using the camera, the instructions were very simple. Just turn the little wheel. Put the back of the camera up to your face so that you are looking through the viewfinder with one eye. Hold and steady the camera at your subject. With the finger of your left hand, press that little indented circle with the purple lightning bolt. The automatic flash will go off.
Horray! You did it. You made a picture. Now turn that little wheel gently until it stops on the next number. You are ready to take another picture. The one-touch flash will automatically recharge.
Sorry, for the elementary instructions, but their is a first time for everyone. I always keep the foil-like wrapper and put the camera back in it and back in the original box in my camera case for extra protection. Do not get your camera wet.
When you are done taking 27 pictures. Do NOT attempt to open the camera. You will over-expose the film and it will destroy your pictures. Unless you are a professional in the photo darkroom.
When you are ready to have the film developed, just put the entire unopened camera in the developing envelope (not included) with your personal info written on it.

***Hint: I always put a return address sticker on my camera before putting it in the envelope.

I never have my pictures developed by a department store (like W) because they have the right to refuse to print your photos and they also look at them.

I have used a trusty film developing-by-mail company for almost 30 years and never had any trouble with them. I even get credit coupons for each photo that doesn't develop well. I use the credit coupons on the next order or save them up for an almost free development.
You know, I did not have the film developed for over 1 year and a half. It was past the expiration date.
The pictures still came out wonderful. I did think the flash was too much and made the pictures look too bright, but you can always cover the flash when taking pictures outside.
All in all, I was pleased with the 2 Kodak Max 35mm Single use Cameras. I would buy them again through Amazon.com.
