Kodak M38 35mm Film Camera - Focus Free, Powerful Built-in Flash, Easy to Use (Starry Black)

It looks like a disposable so no one would take a second look at it. Pretty sturdy so far despite the plastic lightness of it. Not too big so sometimes I have it in my pocket when rock climbing. The film advance works pretty great too and I can snap photos pretty easily without all the bells and whistles of my other film cameras. Everything that I wanted!

I tried multiple and this one seems to work best. Keep in mind that if you take it beach or use it multiple time it will get dirty and won’t work as smoothly. But this was less of a issue and happened after more rolls than other similar cameras I tried.

In theory this camera is a great cheap alternative to repeatedly buying disposable cameras. But emphasis on "disposable" as it inherently means the quality is trash. I got this because I wanted to go on a couple of trips without the worry of my 50yo analog camera getting damaged and because this Kodak one was significantly lighter. The flash stopped working after taking just 2 pics with flash. Big big bummer as these cameras cannot function in low light. I've used 2 rolls of film with this and I can't say it's worth using a whole new roll of film with this. I'm better off just buying a disposable camera. I'd say maybe 2/5 shots are usable. I'd rather haul a heavier camera and get solid shots. Some shots turned out "meh" quality and others absolutely terribly.

I originally purchased a purple one for myself, but I also purchased an additional one in black as a gift for a friend. I have had the camera for a little over a year now and after using it for quite some time, I can say that I would not purchase it again. It was the first film camera that was not a disposable camera that I have ever purchased. The pro's of this camera is that it's cute, light, and pretty durable. I've dropped it a few times and it still works fine! The con's of this camera is that it requires AA batteries and leaving the flash switch on drains it so fast. The flash switch is also easily triggered so when I throw the camera into my bag, the shuffling turns it on and drains my battery :(

We needed a simple camera and this one fit the bill

My kids love these. They are great to take to the beach or camping. A fun way to capture the moment and have your photos look Ike the ones we took back in the 90’s.

70% photos have spoiled. Very bad quality.

Bought this as gift to myself. Seems to be as I remember these cameras. Kodak makes a quality product. I Love it
