Summary: Great little one-time-use camera
Review: Every year I host a Christmas party, and somewhere between 50 to 75 people show up. Interestingly, although I take lots of photos, I never have any of the Christmas party, because I'm too busy playing "hostess" to take any pictures. This year, I bought a one-time-use camera, gave it to one of my friends and told him to take a picture and give the camera to someone else a few minutes later. By about midnight, all the photos had been taken, and I didn't have to do anything. This camera is great for this sort of thing because it's inexpensive and relatively easy to operate. It's a bit more complicated than the Kodak Access camera, because you can select print size between the three APS formats, whereas the Access model only gives you 4X7 pictures. Normally this isn't a problem, but if other people are operating the camera without supervision they may switch the format on you without being aware of it. If this is a concern, but you still want the option of different formats, I recommend looking at the Fuji Quick Snap Multiview APS disposable camera, because the format switch is under the lens, and people won't notice it unless they know how to use the feature. Of course, most photo labs will allow you to specify a format that all pictures should be developed in regardless of the format the picture was taken in. I usually specify 4X7, and have reprints done of pictures that I think would look good in panoramic format. The photos will come back with an index print and the negatives will stay in the film canister because this is an APS camera. Picture quality on this camera is satisfactory and the flash is strong enough to illuminate everything for several feet. I've used both this camera, the Kodak Access, and the Fuji APS disposables, and all are satisfactory. Recommended for those times when your regular camera isn't appropriate because of size or cost.

Summary: Great for Housewarming Parties!
Review: I was snapping pics at a friends Housewarming Party with one of these Camera's (My Camera was different to the Black Camera shown here - It was Silver) However it was the same Kodak Advantix Single Use Camera. Loved the option of having two different Picture Sizes (Panoramic and Normal) Best part is when the Photos are developed all the Negatives are stored in a little handy Cartridge. No more Negative Strips everywhere!
PS: Pics turned out better than expected!! Grab one today! :o)
