Just picked up my table camera pics.....and they STINK!!!!

I'm so upset....out of 12 table camera only 5 pics came out good....the rest are really dark..so I'm not sure if people just didn't use the flash or if the cameras just s_cked. I wish I could just return all the pics....what a big waste of money for all the developing.

EEP

I always wondered about those cameras.

Sorry to hear that.. at least you had a professional as well. I know some brides who are going to rely on only those table cameras. I'd freak out. I don't trust my family to figure out the little things.

Dani, alot of mine came out dark too!

And my cameras were kodak (most) and had flashes.

I thought it was a big waste too!

I have seen some outdoor & daytime pics come out good with those cameras

A lot of mine were dark too. They were Kodak too. It was the guests, not the cameras. I have some really great pictures where you can see really clearly. The other people just didn't use the flash. I still think its was worth it. There are some cute shots that no one else got. I would do it again.

For anyone who is doing this and has NOT had them developed yet - when you drop them off, ask the person to 'brighten' the pictures when developing, they will come out great!!! I had bought a couple of trial cameras to test before I bought them all, and when I picked them up, the girl said she had brightened them and that all I have to do is ask when I drop off the rest. They look amazing!

That reallu ****s!!! I am doing the table camers just to do them .I guess because my sisters table camera pics came out great...do you have that software on yoru computer where you can lighten photos? Its really easy to do? Maybe I can download my program onto a cd and send it to you. I think my paintshop pro will do it!

Sorry to hear that it came out so bad, NovemberSue had a problem with her cameras as well. However I used table cam's Kodak and I got 350 pictures. Almost all came out fine. The only bad ones were merely blurry. My friend used them as well and she got a lot of pics.
My only suggestion is to double check the date on the camera's when you buy them. I've bought cam from the store and after I had taken a few pics, I realized the exp date was over 6months. I dont know if that's what happened to these ladies,(they may have just been unlucky and got a bad batch of cameras) but for anyone considering using them, it's still a good idea. - IMO

Oh! I'm sorry to hear that. I went to a wedding on Sat and the bride had the cameras at the table and I think it's the camera's fault! I tried and tried to get that flash to turn on and it just wouldn't!

I've read complaints on table cameras before. I have to say mine came out great. Out of 12 cameras fully used, maybe 3 or 4 pictures came out dark. I did buy the more expensive Kodak ones and wrote a card with them reminding people to use the flash. The pictures came out beautiful. I'm so sorry this must be so dissapointing.
