About to order my table cameras

I know I asked this question a couple of weeks ago, but I am still unsure. Do you think it's better to spend a little more per camera for the 'wedding cameras' - they have 15 exp and 800 film speed. Either these or the regular ones with 27 exp and 400 speed film. There is about a 50 cent price difference per camera. What are the chances of a roll of 27 pics being finished?

persoanally, i prefer the wedding cameras for a wedding.....
but even if you get the 27 exposure ones...you only pay for the amount of exposures you use when you develop the film...so if only 14 pictures are taken - you only pay for 14 pictures to be developed.

you can get them developed at www.snapfish.com
they send you free mailers and i think it's alot cheaper than CVS but you can also get them developed at Costco - they do a nice job

I've thought about the fact that I only have to pay for the shots that get used, but I'm trying to decide which choice is overall more economical. I would hate to get the 27 exp cameras and have like 1 shot each used on them. I would want to hang on to the cameras til I used all of the shots.....and I'm picturing my self stuck with 12 cameras with tons of shots on them.....

I kinda do want the wedding ones though..... they're prettier and I am pretty sure they come with the card that has the instructiosn for the tables.

i liked the wedding ones because they have the cards that go with them reminding people not to bring them home with them......just in case anyone gets tempted!

This is true but I bet lots of people won't even think of that! They'll think 'jeez, we still have to take 12 more pictures!'
Also, 800 speed film is a faster film than 400 so it's even better in lower light.
Go for the wedding ones.......

Definitely go for the wedding cameras with the faster film. You will get better quality pictures and a better chance of the cameras being used up. THe reception hall will be darker then normal inside pics and you will be glad to have the faster film.

I like the wedding ones better. They just look more festive than the plain yellow ones. Where are you ordering from?

Some one had posted about a week ago a website that gives you a templet to cover the wedding camera's.

So you can buy the regular Kodak ones (which are a lot cheaper than the wedding ones) and print up the templet and use it as a stencil on wedding type wrapping paper.
