To love the new disposable camera trend?

[MyLucifrr]

I really want to start taking photos again with them ... but can you even get them developed anymore?

Yes, there are still shops where they will develop them.

I haven't heard this was a trend - but wouldn't disposable cameras be very bad environmentally speaking - throw-away plastic?

You can still get film developed - quite a few places do it. Asda, Timpson's, Max Spielmann, etc.

Disposable cameras are pretty bad environmentally, though.

Why would you? Some lovely landfill & poor quality photos.

Most phones can now take very good pictures and they are very cheap to print out with somewhere like the free prints app

Cost about £15 the last time I had a film developed about 2 years ago. Also not very environmentally friendly.

Yabu they are very bad for the environment. Just remember to print your digital ones there are lots of apps offering 100 free prints for a postage payment.

More junk for landfill? Yeah, that sounds great.

Don’t you have a phone? You know you can take photos on that, right? And get them developed?

Is there a disposable camera trend circa 2019, not 1999? The camera on your phone must take higher quality pictures, and most adults already have one.

I will try asda. I have just searched everywhere to get mine developed with no luck. We only bought one as Ds was on a school trip and he wasnt allowed a phone and they suggested a disposable camera rather than digital camera. It's been a pain in the back to find somewhere who does it.

Really phones have cameras?

Anyway.

Yes it’s a trend. It’s about how the photos look. Very different to ones taken on a phone.

Yes yes. Everyone is suddenly all about the environment. I mean are any of you even vegan seeing as the meat and dairy industry has one of the biggest impacts on the environment.

Oh shut up about plastic, please.

YABU

Then why not just buy an SLR camera? Why does it need to be disposable?

Oh dear oh dear, you sound very childish indeed. And, FWIW, 2 vegetarians in my house (out of 3people), we haven’t been on a plane for 12 years and have a car that has very low emissions so I don’t pay vehicle tax, DH cycles to work, Dd walks to school, I get public transport, I recycle etc etc etc.

Are you really so dim that you think that people who care about the environment don’t walk the walk?

"shut up about plastic"

For fucks sake how selfish and ignorant can you be? Move to the fucking sun.

£8 to get them developed but they just throw the plastic in the bin

Everyone is all about the environment suddenly as people have been woken up to the fact we are killing the planet.

But hey you go ahead with your craze nobody else has heard off, fuck the planet 🤷‍♀️

Who knew a craze for crap quality photos was approaching to take over from the unicorns, I mean who wants to use the camera phone with you can buy a disposable

Is it 1988 ?

I thought the trend was Polaroid, not disposable cameras.

Yabu. More crap for landfill

Would a Polaroid not be better as you keep the camera and just replace the film?

OP was asking about disposable cameras and not a lecture about the perils of plastic and saving the environment.

Here, have a medal

Why would I want a medal, Schwibble. She asked for posters’ environmental credentials.

Well yes I’ve been vegan for 30 years. Don’t use bloody disposable cameras.
