wedding cameras ...

I know this topic has been posted, but what's the story? Any good places to get them cheap? I want them, but do not have much $$$ to spend!

Re: wedding cameras ...

You need to have an account. Then you will either bid for an item (by entering the maximum bid you are willing to pay for a single item) and a quantity or you can do a Buy It Now (you buy the item for a set price from the seller) and a quantity. The seller will contact you when the auction is over or after you have 'Bought Them'. The auction will tell you how you may pay...PayPal, Money order, etc. and the seller will tell you who you should pay (their name/address) along with your total. You sent the payment and once it's received your cameras will ship via the shipping method stated in the auction.

Re: wedding cameras ...

I got mine through ebay too.
$3.85
The wedding type with roses. The photos came out OK. Most of them were dark because the guests tried to take them from too far away. Those flashes only work if your 3-4 feet from the subject. I'm glad I got them though, the ones that did come out were great! They let me see other things beside what the photographer got.

Re: wedding cameras ...

I got the Kodak bridal 4packs for $20 & the quality of my tableshots is great! Very few that are out of focus or too dark. It was worth spending a bit more to get kodak. Don't forget to check expiration dates on cameras

Re: wedding cameras ...

I totally agree with RichsBride, go for the Kodaks, I did and got great pics as well. Went to a wedding with a no name camera and the flash didn't work, etc...wasn't worth it I think. I bought mine at WalMart months ago for $4.45 a piece, Kodak, 24 exposures.

Re: wedding cameras ...

We looked into saome of the cameras available cheaply on the internet, and found a site that sounded too good to be true. I almost bought them, until someone mentioned that there have been instances where a company will re-install film into a used disposable camera case. Some times the case is not properly sealed and light gets in and over exposes the film.

We are goping to get them from Costco

Re: wedding cameras ...

we went to cosco and got the kodak ones. They are the regular yellow ones but you only have one shot to get good pics.

Richsbride,

Automatic flash or not

Thanks

Re: wedding cameras ...

I totally think they are a good investment. I got half black and whites and half color. My photographer wound up being awful, and I am so glad I have the table camera pictures!

Re: wedding cameras ...

I got mine at Costco but they were regular disposable Kodak cameras Orange not wedding designed). They were 3 for about 12 and change.

I got mine developed last night and got some great shots. Although we but notes telling people to use the flash not everyone did so shots were missed. Also pictures taken far away come out bad. But we got some really fun shots! (we also did the scanvenger hunt thing and got some really fun pictures!)
