Default Reviews of Disposable Cameras

Is there a good source that discusses disposable cameras? Like shutter
speed and aperture, repeatability of shutter speed, lens quality, any
color filtering (underwater cameras?), and whatever else there might be
to say about them?

Is there a good source that discusses disposable cameras?

I had a very good article about disposable cameras but I threw it away.

You can simply apply the word "mediocre" to all of them, and there'll be not
much need to do multiple reviews.

Honestly, who would bother studying reviews of low-end stuff like that?

I have used disposables, there are times when having a 'valueless' camera is
a major plus, sure the image quality with all of them is weak, but that
doesn't mean they have no uses or cannot produce interesting photographs, I
have submitted a few images to the Shoot-in that were made using Kodak
disposables.

Yes, they're more interesting than your "sharp, technically correct"
digi-snaps.

Indeed. A friend of mine buys a bunch of them and throws them in a plastic
bag. He takes them tubing down the Apple River in Somerset, WI. If anybody
has been there, you would know why he wants to take pictures.

I agree. And since most of them out-perform the cameras used by Louis
Daguerre let's agree all his images were worthless ****e too. Why
anyone used cameras before multicoating was perfected beggars belief!

Why are you comparing apples to oranges? Disposable cameras may be
utilitarian, but they do not represent the level of quality that would be
considered even barely adequate for a serious shooter. They serve a purpose
for use by the Great Unwashed, but nobody would read comparative reviews of
cameras in that class.
