Gerri Young's Review of CVS One-Time-Use Digital and Video Cameras Disposable Camera
20th Apr 2006
Overall Rating
- Value for money
The only good points I can think of are they might be fun to give to a child just learning to do photography.
Bad Points
We were required by some inexperienced person at our HQ to use these cameras for photos in an important competition. Two videos and two digital stills were sent to two locations. Of the four, two didn't operate at all. One still disk after processing by CVS was not readable at all, and required me to spend two days recreating the photos with real digital cameras, which is what I told them we should do to begin with.
General Comments
CVS One-Time-Use Digital and video cameras are extremely limited in all aspects. Poor resolution, poor pixel depth, no zoom lens, poor battery and no recharge-ability, also limited picture review capabilities. In short, not to be used for anything serious. Save them for giving to little Johnny to learn on.
