Want to know both the pros
& cons of disposable digital cameras? If you are
considering buying and using a disposable digital camera, it is
most definitely a good idea to know the pros & cons of disposable
digital cameras before you buy one.
Disposable digital camera – these three words fit naturally
together in today’s world. After all, in today’s world,
everything seems to be disposable and everything is digital, why
shouldn’t a camera be, too? But is a disposable digital camera
really a good idea? Do the brains that came up with this idea deserve
to be saved in jars of formaldehyde and studied for many years to
come?
Let us start with the pros of disposable digital cameras:
• They are very easy to use. You do not need to take a course
in photography to figure out how to use one of these cameras!
• If you are not ready to invest in a camera yet, or if you
rarely use cameras, then it is silly to buy an expensive camera.
Instead, save your money and use a disposable camera.
• A one time use digital camera is perfect for anyone who
is considering buying a digital camera, but is not yet quite sure
if it is the best camera for him or her. Using a disposable one
can give you the main gist of what a real one is like.
• A single use digital camera is also a great item for those
that already own a regular, expensive digital camera. You can take
it on vacations or hikes, etc. and not constantly worry about it
getting stolen or broken or lost, etc. Sure, you would maybe lose
a few valuable photos, but you would not have to worry about replacing
an expensive camera.
• Disposable digital cameras are better than regular disposable
cameras for a few reasons. One, you can buy some with an LCD screen
so that you can see the photo that you just took. Two, most have
a function in which you can delete the last photo taken. Therefore,
if you accidentally take a photo of the ground while walking, you
do not have to pay to get it developed!
• Many of the disposable cameras are recycled or reused almost
in full.
• You do not have to worry about dealing with extra wires
and devices and downloading your photos, etc.
Now for some of the cons of disposable digital cameras:
• If we have so much technology these days, why do we continue
to think of ways to make things disposable? Shouldn’t we be
coming up with things that will last long for the pleasure and use
of many generations to come? Instead, we are coming up with items
that will fill our landfills for many generations to come. (Yes,
as stated above, at least most of the camera will be recycled or
reused, but still…)
• Yes, you can buy disposable digital cameras with LCD screens
(one of the main features and benefits of regular cameras is being
able to use this LCD screen and actually see the photos), but you
are going to have to pay extra for this screen. If you decide to
use disposable cameras a lot, in the end it could have been worth
it to simply pay a few extra bucks for a regular digital camera.
• Yes, you can usually delete a photograph that you do not
like, but you can generally only delete the last photograph you
took. You have to know right then that you want to delete it. Also,
if you did not pay the extra money for the LCD screen, it is hard
to know whether or not the photo should be deleted.
• One of the other main benefits of a regular disposable digital
camera is that you can put the photos in a photo workshop and perfect
them before you print them out. With a disposable digital camera,
you take the photos directly the processing center, and they print
them out before you make any major changes to them (some places
allow you to make small changes in-store). Of course, you can usually
get a cd of your photos to take home and download…
• The photos, quite simply are not going to be as high quality
as a regular digital camera would produce.
Now that we have gone over some of the major pros and cons of disposable
digital cameras, it is time for you to decide whether or not to
buy one. The ultimate decision is completely up to you.
