Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Fujifilm Quick Snap Waterproof 35mm Single Use Camera
Customer Review: Better than Alternatives
Summary: 4 Stars
Like others I have compared it in a SCUBA diving trip to the Kodak Max Sport and this one had a few advantages:
1. Film winded at greater depth.
2. The pictures came out clearer - not grainy and with better colors.
Don't expect too much of it at depths below 8 meters since light won't be enough (I used it on a bright summer day in the red sea). Even at shallower depths colors turn blue/green without use of flash.
I have taken it down to depth of 35 meters and the camera was fine, but wouldn't take pictures at depths below 20 meters.
The pictures I took at shallow depth came out excellent.
Customer Review: Great Product for CAMP!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a great camera to use at camp with in the canoes and kayaks. You don't have to worry about getting it wet or dropping it in the water. I highly recommend it for campers. Not only is it waterproof, but it is also nearly impossible to destroy whether it gets stepped on or dropped down the stairs. :-) No flash, but if you're going to use it outside it doesn't really matter. Doesn't take great pictures in lake water though.Customer Review: A great camera for precious moments
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased 3 of these little wonders for use on a Western Caribbean cruise in which I intended to climb Dunn's River Falls in Jamaica, and snorkel in George Town, Grand Cayman among other water sports.
I am very particular about my photographs and for dry events use a very expensive 6mp digital SLR which I am unwilling to trust to any underwater housing.
My reservations on using an inexpensive point and shoot were not warranted in this case.
This camera produced fabulous shots both above and below the surface. It's lever is just the right size for using in the underwater environment, it wound remarkably easy with wet water logged fingers, and it's large gripping rubber band safety string kept it at fingers reach and safe for the duration of my excursions.
It's completely flat on the side you put your face too which is rare, and yet essential for taking shots underwater with a mask on.
Also, it's big enough to be useful yet still small enough to fit easily in the pockets of your swimtrunks.
With this camera I did not waste a single shot.
I saw many people struggling with their waterproof cameras, and talked to others who had them developed on board with very sad results.
This is a wonderful product and I recommened it without any reservations, or qualifications.
Customer Review: Better than the Alternatives
Summary: 4 Stars
I tried several cameras on a recent dive trip, including a Kodak and a Fuji disposable waterproof camera.
Neither camera has a flash, which means that everything will come out in shades of blue under water unless you bring your own light.
Neither camera leaked, which gave them an edge over more expensive "professional" cameras on this trip.
Both the Kodak and Fuji look very similar with a sealed plastic case (with slight positive buoyancy) and thick rubberbands for securing to a wrist or clipping to a BCD.
I have to give the edge to the Fuji in terms of both design and results. The Fuji was easier to wind and to snap shots with and the pictures came out sharper. The 800 film in the Kodak produced shots that were way too grainy.
I'd give it 5 stars if they added a flash and a bigger viewfinder!
Customer Review: Garbage

Made the mistake of taking this camera on a trip to the Great Barrier Reef. Pictures were horrible. Resolution is beyond bad and the colors were even worse. Guess you get what you pay for.
Fuji products are not well made.
