Lucy the Valiant Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Think like a 10 year old - am I best off just buying a cardboard disposable and developing the film? If you've sent an early-middle-school kid to camp, did you send a camera? (I'm probably overthinking this.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brookspr Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Those cardboard disposable cameras rarely take good pictures. I've sent them a couple of times to girl scout camp with my daughter and got back fuzzy pictures that were dark. I don't really have a recommendation other than there's a good chance that she won't have time, or just won't take pictures. I've sent DD with her digital camera (one that was no more than $50) and she did not take more than two pictures. She is 14 now, and just yesterday got back from a 10-day fine arts camp. No phones allowed, and all she had was an iPod for music. I asked if she would have wanted a camera and she said no, some of her friends took pictures and will just text or email them to her.

Plink Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Do you have an old cellphone kicking around? That is what my 9yo uses. We don't have a plan on it, so to get the photos out we transfer the memory card to my computer. My 11yo daughter uses a Nikon coolpix, but I don't remember how much we paid for it.

Coco_Clark Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I'd send them with an old phone, or scour Craigslist for a cheap digital. Those throw away cameras take such terrible photos its hardly worth the effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
