- I recently returned from a trip to the Carribean. While there I went
- snorkeling and had the chance to use a Fuji disposable underwater camera.
- I found the picture quality to be quite sub-standard. The camera was
- pre-loaded with 400 ASA film. It was an overcast day and most shots
- were taken in approx. 5-6 feet of water. The pictures turned out
- quite "bland" with little contrast or color. This may partially be
- due to the overcast sky. I would only use this camera again if it was
- a very bright day. The cost is very expensive making it difficult to
- justify even using this type of camera. The camera, itself, is about
- $12-15. Then add on another $10-12 for processing. That's about $25
- for a roll of 24 exposures of poor quality photos. You decide for
- yourself.
