A disposable digital camera is a good idea if you need a camera for one time use. It has pretty much the same features as a traditional digital camera except for the fact that you cannot get the photographs from the camera yourself, you need to return the camera to the store for that.

The disposable digital camera is compact and easy to use. In fact user directions are printed right on the camera. There are a variety of models available at differing price points. You can get one with the ability to delete shots and with a preview screen. The screens are small 1.4 inch screens.

Disposable digital cameras have a resolution of 2 mega pixels which is fine for most types of photography and you can also utilize the 10 second delay so you can be in your own photos. They have an automatic flash for convenience sake which unfortunately is not able to be turned on or off manually.

A disposable camera is quite comparable to a traditional digital camera in all respects except for the notable exception of having to return your camera to the store to get your pictures. You will receive prints of your photographs as well as digital prints on CD.

Oddly enough, the disposable digital cameral is not disposed of. It is actually repackaged and resold. This explains how a digital camera that produces high quality photographs can be sold for a mere $20.

The quality of prints that come from a disposable digital camera and better than prints from a regular disposable camera, so the digital is the logical choice.

The major drawback is that the disposable digital camera can hold only 25 pictures. This doesn’t make them very cost effective. You can bring the price down some by choosing a model that doesn’t have a preview screen. As time goes on and the technology improves and competition increases, price will no doubt come down and functionality improve.
