Reddit mentions: The best disposable cameras

> but I'll be "holding" the camera most of time.

If that's the case, would a monopod potentially be more appropriate for the type of shooting you're looking at doing?

> Hm... does these disposable cameras take nice photos?

Did you mean to include a link somewhere? The only disposable cameras I can think of are film ones like this. I'm not sure about sand resistance or quality (likely not fantastic, but passable like most disposable cameras), but the ones I linked are capable of even being used underwater which sounds like they're pretty well-sealed.

In my experience the ASA 800 have worked slightly better so I try and use those.

As for the combo plastic mailer bags/film canisters/printable postage stamps I have tried a different approach. I have got a flat rate box pre-addressed and pre-paid to myself and duct tape this to the camera. I also duct-taped a permanent marker for people to write their e-mail on it. I think this way is easier since it is less stuff to do, less stuff to get separated, and less work for the end user. What do you think?

I might try and steal your idea about the pre-paid stamps with the irregular item because I don't plan on using a flat-rate this year. I think having the camera built into the box will be even better and less things to get separated. Any chance you live on the east coast (or not California) where I can build one and mail one a test dummy to see if the USPS will get it there?

This one should fit your budget nicely.

Yeah, these seem a good shout, decent enough reviews and work out to £7 each. If you just want a single one I think it's only about £1 more.

Here's something in your price range. Unfortunately, even the cheapest of cheap DSLR's are $500-$600. You can look around for used ones though and probably get a pretty good deal.

I think it would really depend on the competency of both people with cameras as well as the subject matter.

Personally I would use film, maybe one b/w disposable camera (C-41 and can be processed anywhere) and then a traditional film camera. Viewing the prints at a later time would add to the experience as well as provide a take home item.

Having done clubs for cash, I can tell you the standard setup is dSLR with a big Speedlight. Speedlight alone is going to set you back more than your budget.

You might have luck with a few of these...

When I read "cheap camera with a built-in lens", I immediately thought he was describing one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Disposable-Kodak-Camera-3Pack/dp/B000OFW65I

Decent make, $46 for a ten pack

no make, $60 for twenty pack

Amazon has a 5 pack for $35.

This is the cheapest option I could find https://www.amazon.com/Instax-Square-SQ6-Instant-Camera/dp/B07GVG3KQS but you also need to buy the film sheets with the autograph on them for $20.

When I'm in a rut, I do something very different to force myself to see differently.

Try this. Buy a disposable film camera. Go on a photo walk and use that sucker up by doing a style of photography that isn't what you usually do.
