Re: b and w disposible cameras

I'm pretty sure you can just have them developed in b&w-then you could have both. If the film is b&w you can't have color w/o major enhancement techniques. You can get 4 kodak 27exp wedding cameras @ BJs for $19.99. Good Luck

Color film processed to be B&W looks funny to me but that is just my opinion.

Just as a note of caution: B&W is much more expensive to develop than color.

I bought a disposable B&W camera at Walgreens recently. The pictures turned out great. I don't remember the developing costs being too much more than color though. I agree with Sonicstef...color film developed to be B&W looks grainy.

I also think that color developed into black and white looks bad.. it looks brown.. you dont get the crisp shades of grey with B& W film...

Re: b and w disposible cameras

I just checked out the site sonicstef recommended. I love the idea of B&W cameras. Does anyone know how long it takes for the shipping? Do you recommend B&W vs color? Should some tables have color and others B&W? Sorry for all the questions.

Re: b and w disposible cameras

I have already bought enough color cameras for every table, but now really want to add some black and whites.....maybe every other table? I don't know what to do. I guess I could use the extra cameras at the bachelorette, rehearsal dinner, etc. as to not waste them. I also love black and whites and wish I would have thought of them before I bought the color ones!
