Fujifilm Most people carry a comically powerful camera in their pockets at all times, but analog alternatives endure — even the ones you have to throw in the bin once you're done with them. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of its one-time use Quick Snap camera, Fujifilm has announced two new versions of the trusty disposable snapper.
The Quick Snap Black and White is pretty self-explanatory. You shoot on a 27-shot roll of ISO 400 black-and-white negative film. It's not waterproof, but you get a built-in, switch-activated flash with a range of around 10 feet. And that's about it. Like most instant cameras, the QuickSnap offers a straight-forward point-and-shoot experience that's perfectly suited to chronicling a vacation or a night out.
Also new is the QuickSnap Active, a waterproof, rugged version of the disposable camera that replaces the current waterproof QuickSnap. This one comes in protective housing and includes a wrist strap. The QuickSnap Active also features 27 exposures on its ISO 800 Color negative film. You don't get flash, but the tradeoff is waterproofing up to 35 feet.
