Does anyone know were to get a good deal on the throw away cameras for the Table? I want the automatic flash. Many friends say a lot of there pictures did not come out because sometimes the guests forgot to turn on the Flash. Also do you think they can be the regular ones or do you need the fancy wedding ones? (Just wondering if I didn't use the fancy wedding ones will guest think it was someone else at there tables camera?).
Ebay sells them cheap. Thats where I am buying mine. Also the cameras come with little 'tents' with wording on them. Add on each to 'make sure and use the flash!'
We got 5 packs of cameras - 15 exposures for $25 at BJ's.
by far the best deal was at Staples, but I don't know if they still have it. They are 'Jazz' brand, but I have used them and the pics came out really good, as long as the flash was used and the pics weren't too far away. (we will put reminders on the cameras because the flash button needs to be pushed before every pic). They are 3.99 each, but they are 3 for 9.99$ which is a great deal. Flash with 27 exposures.
I was at Walmart and they had Kodak cameras 27 exposure (not the wedding kind but I don't mind) for $4.54 each, the cheapest I had seen. This was about a month ago, they have flashes but not automatic. I am considering putting a saying or poem on all the cameras saying take pictures of the people at the table and in close range and not of us since we already have a photographer taking care of our pics. I think you take the chance 1/2 may come out OK but they are usually fun pictures and I love pictures so I think it is worth it!
I got wedding ones at theknot.com for about $5 each for 27 exposures. They came with a cute saying to put on the tables. They are white with wedding designs. I was very happy with the ordering process and they were delivered in 2 weeks. Hope this helps
Liz, Were the ones from theknot automatic flash?
I just looked on the website and it looks like there is a flash button, but I will look at the actual cameras tomorrow since they are at my parents' house. I will check for you tomorrow and post.
At www.bestcameras.com the cameras are 9.95 each but that includes developing (4x6 single set of prints). I have a long way to go before I am ready to buy throw away cameras but I saw an ad in Martha Stewart Weddings.
BJ's -- Kodak w/flash, 5 in a box at $25 per box.
I agree that's a good idea, but these days with all going on with the mail, I don't think I would take the chance mailing away film, just my 2 cents!
OK, so I looked, but I don't think I have an answer. There is a switch to push up for the flash to be on. I don't know if it stays on or if you have to keep pushing the lever up. Sorry, I can't be of more help, but I didn't want to waste pictures playing with it.
Thanks for trying Liz and thanks everyone!
