About this deal

The photos look a little like the film may have been outdated, the colors seem to have a yellowish/or light tan tint to them. The small camera slipped VERY easily in a pocket, and there was something about the 30mm lens that just seemed to be perfect. The FunSaver manages to be even simpler, more affordable, and more reliable than those obscenely cheap reloadable cameras, which gives the shooter a chance to focus on literally nothing but the composition. But possibly the most remarkable thing about the FunSaver is that it has endured in ways other film photography products haven’t. For better and worse, the FunSaver is completely emblematic of the philosophy of expendability that characterized mass-market design in the 1980s, ‘90s and early 2000s.

It’s also a true relic of a different time; the Funsaver was around back in the late 1990s in more or less the same form as it takes today, and to shoot one is to get a real taste of what consumer photography was like in the twilight of film’s heyday. The speedy Kodak 800 ISO film found in the FunSaver possesses a wide exposure latitude, giving the FunSaver a versatility that other disposable cameras simply don’t have. This disposable camera from Kodak is a single use camera loaded with 800 ISO film for 27 photos PLUS 12 for free! My dad was a career Kodak guy (long-retired), and last time we tried a Fun Saver, the results were disappointing.

For advanced photographers looking to simplify or get away from their complicated pro- and semi-pro cameras, I’d happily recommend the FunSaver over other often-recommended “simplify your life” cameras like the Holga or Vivitar’s Ultra Wide and Slim. You’re right, the images do have a warmer tint overall, but looking at other examples shows a similarly warm tint. Careful undoing and redoing of the clips that hold the front and back of the camera together wasn’t too bad.

When not onstage, you can find him roaming around Southern California shooting film and humming a tune.

It seems, like with most film camera (and my experience too) that bad results from back in the day were as a result of lousy processing and printing. First introduced 118 years ago, in the year 1900, Kodak pre-loaded the first Brownie box cameras with film, and these cameras were meant to be used and then sent back to Kodak for developing and printing just as we treat a disposable camera today. We and our partners use data for Personalised ads and content, ad and content measurement, audience insights and product development. And in a nutshell, I was amazed with the quality of the images that came forth from this camera after developing. The recycling rate for these cameras is now more than 70 percent in the United States and about 60 percent worldwide.

While the FunSaver’s above-average imaging qualities and relative simplicity make it a perfect choice for novice photographers, advanced photographers and even professionals can benefit from shooting a FunSaver. Great little disposable camera to take with you wherever you go, loads of fun and can be used both indoor and outdoor. With some degree of difficulty, I wound the existing film through to be flipped for Red Scaled, and reloaded it (having to save the spool for the serrated core to allow for the odd advance wheel) with some Kodak C-41 Black and White. Disposable cameras are all about simplicity and a carefree shooting experience, and the Kodak FunSaver brings those two traits admirably without any complication. The 30mm f/10 lens found in the FunSaver features two aspherical plastic elements, which helps it achieve a sharpness uncommon in disposables.Activate the Last by pushing the button on the front (There’s only one button and it has a bolt-on it).
