Great stuff Simon, but I'll maybe hang fire until I see the results from the first one.As many as you like.

Good job as I just sourced a second camera (with a flash) of 2007 vintage for twice the 50p of the first. Need all the chances I can.As many as you like.
Have mine in my coat pocket. That did mean it did not get used much last weekend as no need for a coat. It does have the advantage of being smaller than even my XA. About half-way through my 27 frames too.Have many of you been out playing with you disposable yet ?
The oilrig yard at Nigg
Ah, sounds like the "good old days" rather than the current ownership?Once had a day trip to Nigg, was supposed to be longer. Flew Manchester to Inverness, picked up a hire car, got to above site to meet a couple of managers, after 5 minutes metaphorically knocked their heads together, cancelled hotel, drove back to Inverness, got plane to Glasgow, then Manchester and was back in Cheshire by tea time.
Finished a Fuji QuickSnap today and after a bit of poking around found that it had a handy little door to get the film out

Now processed and scanned and I'm completely underwhelmed by my photographic abilities. Probably going to have to get another and hope I'm starting to get my eye in with these.
That's the whole idea though isn't it? To at least try to prove the opposite; it's not the camera but the numpty behind the lens that takes the photo. And yes, believe me, this roll was underwhelming whatever "kit" it was snapped withTBH this type of camera just sucks, and having followed the challenge in previous years I've barely seen a single shot that I wouldn't bin if it were taken with decent kit. It's not you, but the piece of plastic junk.

I know, but I reckon your soup can pinhole cameras take a better image TBH.
Rename the files? Or does Aperture sort by scan date/time?
SnappySnaps will be doing the DP&S for me so shouldn't have a problem (not too sure that the results will be worth cataloguing too carefully!!!)
I've been scuppered on my second 'single-use' camera. Spotted the new thread this morning and unpacked it. It was never a single-use camera - was originally a Carrefour loaded with 400 IS0 - which they refilled, later got refilled by another company with 200 ISO and put in a cardboard wrapper. It does say 'Single-use' on the outer wrapper but once inside see this on the bottom, further unwrapping showed its longer history. So will have to go with the first no-flash camera shots.

IMO that still qualifies as a single use camera
Where are people buying their SUCs? I had a wander through Amazon today and prices seem daft for 27 exposures.
