    Add on the developing costs for the films and these undoubtedly cheap cameras start to look a bit pricey....!
  • I send my child off to camp with one of these rather than an expensive digital, so at £1.50 a pop that's a bargain price. I last paid £7.50 BOGOF.

    On page 28 of this weeks What's on TV magazine (52p) there is a coupon to get a free single use camera from Martin's, McColl's or RS McColl. Valid until the 27/05.

    You could get 10 for £5.20, £9.80 cheaper than the op's price. Looks like the camera's are printed with The Big Wedding, but you could easily remove the printed box if it's not a wedding purchase.

    Thanks OP and SavvyBunny!
    I've found the cheapest place to get films developed is Asda, if you ask for 'CD only', it's about £2 for the developing and £1 for the CD.

    You can have up to 4 films on 1 CD. (though the developing might have gone up in price since last year).

    Then you can print only the good pics as digital images (5p per photo).:j

    If you have the patience you can pay for developing only and scan it yourself, but I always just pay the extra £1 lol.

    The downside is only the really big stores have a photo lab.
    If you're after super high quality results for a reasonable price I'd recommend photoexpresss.co.uk

    Understand that these may be in very short supply - someone reported their McColl's had only been provided with :eek: ONE :eek: to give away. :rotfl:

    As for buying them

    10 for £5 (actually £6.99 including the £1.99 P&P)


    Having said that it appears to be £1.99 P&P irrespective of how many you buy. :D

    I've just put 20 packs into my basket - delivered for £101.99 - that's 200 cameras for 51p each

    SAVE EVEN MORE - Go via QUIDCO or TOPCASHBACK and get 7% cashback

    If you're buying a lot it might be worth joining their "Ideal Extras Club" and getting an EXTRA 10% off these prices - presumably making them £4.50 a pack :)

    Anyway - the cameras ...

    24 exposure - 200 ASA
    (Picture appears to show they have a flash)

    IGNORE the "12" quantity in the heading - does appear it is ONLY TEN

    I gave the kids disposable cameras on holiday a few years back, got them developed onto disc only (cost about £1 at the time), downloaded the pics to my computer, then got them developed using websites offering free 50 phots etc paying postage only and saved a fortune.
