Review: FujiFilm Quick Snap Waterproof Disposable Camera with 27 Exposures

A few weeks ago, I purchased a FujiFilm Quick Snap Waterproof Disposable Camera to have some outdoor, water fun with my six-year old. There was no way, I was going to risk using my phone, Canon, or Sony Cybershot in the pool or at the water park. So, I knew a disposable waterproof camera was the way to go.

Personal Expectations

Since, I purchased this camera to just have some outdoor, water fun with my son this summer, I was not expecting “Canon Digital Camera 50MM Lens” quality photos.

I was expecting a disposable camera that was able to stay in tact and take clear photos while being in the water and that’s exactly what we got.

To Operate

To operate the camera, you simple point where you want to shoot and gently push the lever down.

When you push the over-sized shutter release lever down, there is no sound, so pay attention because you really are taking a photo.

Once you have taken the photo, simply wind the exposure knob until you can’t wind it anymore. You are then ready to take the next photo.

Keep in Mind…

We had no problems using the camera underwater, which is where we took most of our photos. Keep in mind it is a little challenging to take photos underwater unless you have on goggles.

We took mostly selfies which is not exactly recommended – but worked!

Directions indicate photos should be taken at least three feet away, but our photos still turned out pretty good.
