The Insane Rise of Disposable Cameras - from the unlikely rise of the PhotoPac in 1948 to today! Join us for this deep dive into camera history. Starting with the humble beginnings of the Original Kodak 1888, the Fuji Snapshot in 1986, the Kodak Fling in 1987 and more. Disposable cameras were innovative new technology at this time, providing consumers with ultimate convenience. No need for camera skills or knowledge and no need to even carry a camera with you. Just pick one up, point and shoot. Pop Culture takes centre stage here too, as disposable cameras also chart the rise in popularity of movies and TV shows, bands across the 90s, 00s and beyond. Common Issues we cover include technical issues and user errors, often leading to poor quality photos. We also investigate the common issues of disposable cameras, environmental concerns and their decline in popularity in the 2010...before their re-emergence as a vintage throwback product as we head into the 2020s and beyond. Finally we look towards the future and reveal what could be next for this amazing invention.
