Fujifilm Quick Snap Waterproof 35mm Single Use Camera Customer Review
By Ceejdee ...
Based on reviews of others, I bought this camera to save money and made the four pack. I was cruising the Western Caribbean with four stops and excursions all related water. A camera for every stop. The pictures came out wonderfully, even when the sky was overcast. The machine was easy to use and rubber strap gave me confidence that I should not dive to see the bottom of the sea.

On a recent trip to Tahiti I think I tried all kinds of one-time U.S. underwater camera on the market (such as Kodak Max Sport, Kodak Max Wet, and Konica waterproof camera and Fuji). All snorkeling cameras worked well, although I found the Konica and Kodak Max Wet out to be difficult to use. [The Konica was a little 'hard to see through the viewfinder with a mask, and the Kodak Max Wet, most were uncomfortable strap button and the picture on the opposite side of the camera! A real disadvantage to a person of his right hand. As a result much had to use two hands to take a picture, a camera team and the other to press the button. Each of these cameras are good for snorkeling, but the best were the Fuji and Kodak Sport. Please note that all the underwater photos will be a bit blue, but the snorkeling in the blue lagoon in Tahiti was not noteworthy.
Here's the part I really like, now I have to admit, contrary to the manufacturer's recommendations, I took the camera both Fuji and Kodak Max Wet camera with me Scuba Diving. According to the manufacturer's instructions suggested depth Fuji camera is 17 [feet, the deepest of any use when the camera on the market]. On my dives we never went deeper than about 22 meters. The problem with diving with these cameras is pressed - you can just take a picture, but because of the pressure that will be able to wind the film. But I used Fuji camera without problems - I was always able to wind the film and the pictures came out beautifully - even if they were blue. Kodak Max Wet constantly stopped, so to take a picture that would take the picture, you must climb a few meters, then wind the film down - not very convenient, and therefore I got very few photos. Although I have taken pictures with this camera came out well, although they were blue. The second advantage is that Fuji camera is easier to use in water until they just take a photograph is much more affordable and has a very large knob for winding the film, which is especially useful if you use gloves.
The button is a real inconvenience for both the Kodak Max Wet, and Konica cameras - I found these two cameras to be very difficult to wind and can be nearly impossible when wearing diving gloves. Even with Fuji and Kodak Max Sport, belt, button and rewind are all on the right side, making this camera very easy to use for a right handed person.
In summary, if you go snorkeling I would recommend the camera Fuji or Kodak Max Sport. ... And if you plan to dive, to Fuji a try.
