If I did edit them, I would have added some saturation onto the scans, by making them a bit brighter with some vibrance in the colours. The plastic lenses don’t control light as deftly as the glass lenses on your average camera (even the one in your smartphone), so the images have a softer look. I also tried to capture some photos indoor with limited lighting simply out of curiosity how they’re going to turn out. Based on personal experience, I can conclude that Kodak Daylight 800 is still very usable when you’re shooting films indoor as long as you’ve got plenty natural light or adequate light in general.

On this Kodak it is obvious where it is, on some other cameras it will be covered by a sticker, while for cameras with a flash there also will be a battery compartment. Out of 648 frames of film (27 frames on each of the 24 cameras we distributed), we ended up with 79 photos (about 12. Ilford’s XP2 Single Use Camera is unique in that it’s the only monochrome disposable camera on the market to use C41 black-and-white film. Besides, they are easy to use, light and portable as well as fun to play with – without any risk of damaging an expensive camera.

Color and contrast are pretty good, especially considering it’s a single-use camera with a small, plastic lens. From the grain quality which was subtle, not too much coverage but the blue tint-tungsten feel was no longer there, although the nostalgic vibe was still there.
