Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Fujifilm Quick Snap Waterproof 35mm Single Use Camera
Customer Review: decent all around temporary camera
Summary: 3 Stars
I used it snorkeling in Hawaii. Even on sunny days in crystal clear water they came out mostly gray/green and crude rather than sharp/detailed, so I stopped using it for fish, turtles, coral, etc. There were usually two or three photos in each batch of 27 that didn't turn out at all. I had three different developers, so that wasn't the problem.
Longs and Walmart definitely did the best job of developing from these cameras. Longs sells the cameras for about $8 each, too.
It did a fine job on easy pictures of people and many landscape shots that weren't taken when the light was too bright or too dim, like twilight, sunset, or indoor pictures. Under less than ideal lighting, they often came out very crude and grainy with no contrast.
It's fine as a temporary cheap camera or for the kids, but you'll probably want a digital camera above water so you can verify and redo your valuable vacation pictures under all lighting conditions.
Customer Review: Great Buy for the money
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great buy if you are just wanting to have some fun, with no real investment. Although it does go beyond 17 feet, and that is not as far as you may think. But, I used it while snorkeling and the pictures turned out great, and i am sure a few were more than 17 feet.
Customer Review: Excellent for SCUBA
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are reluctant to invest $$$ in a 'real' underwater camera, this will do fine as a temporary solution.
I realize it's not rated to go beyond 17 feet but I took two of them to 90 feet and had no problems whatsoever - all seals held and I could wind the film just fine.
Only slight critizism is that the pictures come out more blue compared to the Kodak MAX (which I used at the same dive site a year earlier). But hey, if you're going way beyond the manufacturers specs, you're not really allowed to complain...
For snorkeling (down to 30 feet), the pictures come out real nice.

The quick snap camera was very good. My husband and I took it snorkeling and cave tubing. It was great for snorkeling because we went on a sunny day, but if the clouds passed over or we were in a shady spot under the water, it wasn't so great. About half of our pictures came out really nice. It was not so good on the cave tubing trip because we were in a cave and needed a flash. If you use it on a sunny day, you will love it. Otherwise, try to get one with a flash.Customer Review: price is right
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very happy with the resulting prints from this camera. I've used other brands in the past and never have had such bright colors and in focus shots. The winding mechanism is easy to use. Finally I have pictures of my diving expeditions to remember.
It's even suited for kids over ten to use. Mine had lots of fun with their own Quick Snap.
