The 50 Greatest Cameras of All Time

[Keith Drysdale]

So where does the disposable film camera fit? I suspect that if you tally all available brands, you'll end up with a unit volume greater than the Kodak Instamatic.

A great innovation for people to record events without the expense of buying a "proper" camera, but I stick with my assessment of the Instamatic. I think disposable camera serviced a desire created by the Instamatic.

Given that there was a period of time that it was de rigeur to put a disposable camera on every table at a wedding reception, there had to have been a lot of disposables sold. But it's not really fair to aggregate across brands...that's sort of like saying "where does the DSLR fit?"
